clinometer"An instrument for measuring angles of inclination. In meteorology, it is used in conjunction with a ceiling light to measure cloud height at night.
CLINOMETER An instrument used to measure angles of inclination. Used in conjunction with a ceiling light, it determines cloud height at night, based on the angle of a projected light on the clouds, the observer, and the ceiling light.
clinometer—An instrument used in weather observing for measuring angles of inclination; it is used in conjunction with a ceiling light to determine cloud height at night.
Clinometer, Alidade and Ceiling Projector Sometimes frustrated middle school or high school mathematics students will ask, "What good is this trigonometry, anyway?
The height of the cloud is determined using a clinometer, located at a known distance from the ceiling light, to measure the angle included by the illuminated spot on the cloud, the observer, and the ceiling light.
Clinometer: An instrument used with a ceiling light or clinometer at night for measueing cloud heights. 8. Max & Min Thermometers: Observing the daily max and min temperatures. 9. Pyranometer: Observing Solar Radiation. 10.
The study of climate. It includes climatic data, the analysis of the causes of the differences in climate, and the application of climatic data to the solution of specific design or operational problems. CLINOMETER ...
