I would imagine they include a bladder of some sort to handle expansion and contraction due to temperature changes while the drive is operating, in order to keep the internal pressure fairly constant. That's probably a wider range of pressure change handling than weather systems would require. (There was a time when I knew how to do the math for that, but I haven't used my MechEng degree in a long, long time.)
