  "term": "Automatic tide gauge",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that continuously and autonomously measures and records the height of the sea level at a specific location. It employs technologies such as floats in a stilling well, pressure sensors on the seabed, or non-contact methods like acoustic or radar sensors pointing at the water surface. The recorded data are used for tidal prediction, storm surge warnings, and long-term studies of sea level change.",
