  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathythermograph

    A bathythermograph. The bathythermograph, or BT, also known as the Mechanical Bathythermograph, or MBT; [1] is a device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in water temperature versus depth down to a depth of approximately 285 meters (935 feet).

  4. Current meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_meter

    An instrument of this type is the Acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), which measures the water current velocities over a depth range using the Doppler effect of sound waves scattered back from particles within the water column. The ADCPs use the traveling time of the sound to determine the position of the moving particles.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    In the past, a common time measuring instrument was the sundial. Today, the usual measuring instruments for time are clocks and watches. For highly accurate measurement of time an atomic clock is used. Stopwatches are also used to measure time in some sports.

  7. Depth sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_sounding

    A sailor and a man on shore, both sounding the depth with a line. Depth sounding, often simply called sounding, is measuring the depth of a body of water. Data taken from soundings are used in bathymetry to make maps of the floor of a body of water, such as the seabed topography. Soundings were traditionally shown on nautical charts in fathoms ...
