An altimeter is an instrument used to measure the height of a body above sea level and on the ground below.
Altimeters are based on the principle, discovered by Pascal, that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude, so in essence they are barometers equipped with a graduated scale.
The most commonly used altimeter is an ordinary aneroid metal barometer that carries, alongside the scale of pressures in millimeters of mercury or millibars, a scale of heights calibrated in meters or feet; atmospheric pressure in fact decreases as height above sea level increases.
