Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003761
A graduated circular scale used to measure horizontal angles relative to a fixed reference direction, typically true north. This scale is found on instruments such as compasses, theodolites, and radar displays to indicate the direction of an object or phenomenon. Azimuth values range from 0 to 360 degrees, measured clockwise from north.
