The declination variometer enables us to measure variations in the declination of the Earth magnetic field. |

There are several other kinds of lift, but a paragliding variometer is mostly used for thermal lift. |
|
An instrument known as a variometer helps to show the pilot when the glider is in a thermal, and the pilot circles within it and gains altitude. |
|
The Ottawa Observatory consists of a variometer building, an air-conditioned electronics control building and two absolute buildings. |
|
The variometer and electronics buildings are 6 m by 6 m. The absolute buildings are 12 m by 5 m with marble instrument piers. |
|
In April, 1977 a digital recorder was attached to the electronic variometer and the edited data from it became more important than the data gathered from the optical variometer. |
|
As with most gliders, it was equipped with a more traditional variometer on its instrument panelas a back-up. |
|
Artificial neural network performs functions corresponding to total energy variometer functions. |
|
A permanent building for the absolute instruments was completed in September 1961, located about 30 m north of the variometer and control buildings. |
|
To calculate finesse, the instrument takes the mean wind speed as the horizontal velocity and the data supplied by the variometer as the vertical velocity. |
|
The most important instrument is the variometer, which shows when the glider is moving up or down even when that movement is too minute to be noticed by the pilot. |
|
Geomagnetic data processing is carried out using Nurmijarvi Geophysical Observatory variometer data, which is in Tartu Observatory. |
|
We also use a variometer which tells you whether you are going up or down. |
|
To be properly equipped, participants should also wear an emergency parachute and carry a map and variometer which charts rates of ascent and descent as well as height. |
