  "term": "Tide gauge",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures the changing height of the sea surface relative to a fixed reference point on land.

Modern gauges often use acoustic or radar sensors, while older versions relied on floats in stilling wells.",
