A measure of height above earth's surface is called?
altitude
What is the prefix for clouds at high and middle altitude?
Clouds at high altitude use the prefix cirro while clouds at middle altitude use the prefix alto. I know this is not in the question but clouds at low altitude don't use any specific prefix. I am also in love with Arturo B.
Altitude is greater at point?
Altitude is greater at a point that is higher above sea level. Altitude measures the height of a point above a reference point, such as sea level. The higher the altitude, the greater the height above that reference point.
Which decreases as altitude increases?
As altitude increases pressure and temperature decrease.
What is A word meaning elevation or height above sea level called?
The word you are looking for is "altitude." Altitude refers to the height or elevation above sea level.
What is the Difference between geopotential altitude and geometric altitude?
Altitude in an aircraft is generally measured by the hydrostatic equation: p=rho*g*h, where p is the pressure at the point of measurement, rho is the density at the point of measurement, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the point and h is the height from a reference to that point (the reference is generally taken as sea level). Aircrafts use the hydrostatic equation to determine the height/ altitude because pressure can be easily measured with a pitot tube that planes have. So using a pitot tube the airplanes measure the pressure and with that they can put it into the equation and solve for the height. However, gravity is not the same at different altitudes and changes with respect to the altitude. It is very difficult for an airplane to measure gravity in the air. Therefore airplanes generally measure geopotential altitude. The geopotential altitude uses gravity at sea level and takes it to be constant. Whereas geometric altitude uses gravity at the point of measurement. Therefore P = rho*g0*h(geopotential) where g0 is the gravity at sea-level and h(geopotential) is the geopotential altitude and P=rho*g*h(geometric) where g is the gravity at the point of measurement and h(geometric) is the geometric altitude or the actual height above sea-level Notice that the pressure and rho are common in both equations -by floyd617
How do you calculate geopotential height?
Geopotential height is calculated using the formula ( Z = \frac{g}{g_0} \cdot h ), where ( Z ) is the geopotential height, ( g ) is the local gravitational acceleration, ( g_0 ) is the standard gravitational acceleration (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and ( h ) is the geometric height above sea level. Additionally, the geopotential height can also be derived from the geopotential ( \Phi ) using the relation ( Z = \frac{\Phi}{g_0} ). In meteorology, it is often computed using atmospheric pressure data and temperature profiles through the hydrostatic equation and the ideal gas law.

Where are Rossby waves found?
They are found everywhere. These are also known as planetary waves, and are simply waves in the geopotential height field of the atmosphere. There are typically 3-7 of the at any given time circling the hemisphere.

The opposite of altitude?
The opposite to altitude is depth.
How do you spell altitude in french?
altitude (fem.)
How do you calculate the altitude of a triangle?
Let the given area is 10cm. Base of the triangle is 4 cm. altitude of triangle=? Area= 1/2 x Base x altitude 10= 1/2 x 4x altitude 10=2 x altitude 10/2= altitude 5= altitude Hence, altitude of the triangle is 5 cm.
How does altitude relate to climate?
The higher the altitude the colder the climate, the warmer the climate the lower the altitude.
A jetliner is cruising at an altitude of 31680 ft What is the altitude in miles?
The altitude of the jetliner is 6 miles.
