In an unconfined aquifer there may be

In an unconfined aquifer there may be variation during the test. In a confined aquifer there is less more like to be a muted response. Depending on the circumstances and the equipment you are using there are a few options. This is a bit of a cheat but to save time I would do a search for 'correcting for barametric pressure changes during pump test' and see if any of the options apply to your set up. Alternatively you could post some more details about the duration of the test, what equipment you have, and what the most important information is that you need from the test.

Even quicker answer, if you're not looking to derive exact aquifer properties is not not be overly worried by fluctuations in pressure. Or, run the test during calm weather! Someone might shoot me down for that, but hey ho. If you are super concerned and this needs to be spot on I would really consider engaging a hydrogeolgist, to be sure on the test set up, and the data interpretation. Hydrologist without boarders could be an option.
