- An instrument that measures the height above ground; used in navigation
- An altimeter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level. The measurement of altitude is called altimetry, which is related to the term bathymetry, the measurement of depth underwater.
- A device indicating altitude.
- All GPSes can determine your elevation quite accurately from the same satellite signals that they use to determine your horizontal position. Some deluxe units also have a barometric sensor to use air pressure to provide an even more accurate reading.
- Function that provides altitude by responding to changes in barometric pressure, commonly found in pilot watches. Inside a pressurized airplane cabin, the altimeter registers as if on land.
- An instrument used to determine the altitude of an object with respect to a fixed level. The type normally used by meteorologists measures the altitude with respect to sea level pressure.
- An adjustable aneroid-barometric cockpit instrument used to measure an aircraft's altitude.
- A barometric device for determining elevations above sea-level.
- A device that measures the distance above or below mean sea level. Watch altimeters almost invariably use barometers to estimate altitude.
