density altitude—The altitude in the standard atmosphere at which the air has the same density as the air at the point in question.
DENSITY ALTITUDE
The altitude at which a given density is found in the standard atmosphere. Used in aviation, it is computed from the station pressure at takeoff and the virtual temperature at the particular altitude under consideration.
DENSITY ALTITUDE - The apparent altitude at which you are flying due to pressure, humidity, and temperature effects.
DEWPOINT - The temperature to which are must be cooled in order for it to be saturated.
Density Altitude - The pressure altitude corrected for temperature deviations from the standard atmosphere. It is used by pilots when setting aircraft performance.
KestrelŪ 4000 Wind Instrument This instrument measures barometric pressure, altitude, density altitude, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind chill, dew point, wet bulb, and heat index.
