  2. Bathometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathometer

    Jacob Perkins (1766–1849) proposed a bathometer based on the compressibility of water. [4] In this instrument the movement of a piston compressing a body of water enclosed in its cylinder is dependent on the pressure of the water outside the cylinder, and hence its depth. The amount the piston moved can be measured when it is returned to the ...

  3. Lysimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysimeter

    Using pre-measured data including soil weight and initial plant weight, a great deal of phenotypic data can be extracted including data on stomatal conductance, growth rates, transpiration and soil water content and plant dynamic behaviour such as the critical ɵ point, which is the soil water content at which plants start to respond to stress ...

  4. Evapotranspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evapotranspiration

    A lysimeter continuously measures the weight of a plant and associated soil, and any water added by precipitation or irrigation. The change in storage of water in the soil is then modeled by measuring the change in weight. When used properly, this allows for precise measurement of evapotranspiration over small areas.

  5. Rain gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_gauge

    Standard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration rain gauge. A rain gauge (also known as udometer, pluviometer, ombrometer, and hyetometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation in a predefined area, over a set period of time. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathymetry

    Bathometer – A scientific instrument for measuring water depth; Bathymetric chart – Map depicting the submerged terrain of bodies of water; Coastal morphodynamics – Interaction of shoreline seafloor topography and fluid hydrodynamic processes; Depth gauge – Instrument that indicates depth below a reference surface

  7. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    Named after its creator, Dr. Ralph L. Parshall of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, the Parshall flume is a fixed hydraulic structure used in measuring volumetric flow rate in surface water, industrial discharges, municipal sewer lines, and influent/effluent flows in wastewater treatment plants. The Parshall flume accelerates the flow by ...

  8. Soil moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture_sensor

    A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...

  9. Scholander pressure bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholander_pressure_bomb

    A pressure bomb, pressure chamber, or Scholander bomb is an instrument that can measure the approximate water potential of plant tissues. A leaf and petiole or stem segment is placed inside a sealed chamber. Pressurized gas (normally compressed nitrogen) is slowly added to the chamber.
