Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004391
An instrument used to measure angles of slope or inclination, particularly in meteorological applications for assessing cloud base height or atmospheric layering. It determines the angle between the horizontal plane and a line of sight to an object. Modern versions often incorporate digital sensors for precise readings.
