hypsometer
A hypsometer is an instrument used to measure the elevation or altitude above sea level of a location, often through the physical properties of the atmosphere such as temperature or pressure. Some hypsometers work by boiling water and observing the temperature at which the water boils, because this temperature decreases as altitude increases.
