Altigraph
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003461
A recording altimeter that continuously measures and records atmospheric pressure, which is then converted to altitude. It typically uses an aneroid barometer mechanism connected to a pen that traces a line on a rotating drum or chart. This instrument provides a continuous record of an aircraft's or balloon's altitude profile over time.
