The equations were developed by plotting the values of exact tree height with help of a measuring tape (on x-axis) versus the values of the same tree height measured with Hega Altimeter and Suunto
Clinometer (on y-axis).
To meet assumption (3), that perpendicular distance measurements are exact, we utilized both rangefinders with built-in
clinometers and GPS units to determine perpendicular distances to moose groups.
Sasada currently uses a minimum Trendelenburg position and an iPad when performing robotic-assisted hysterectomy and other pelvic surgeries, but not in all cases, as some OR beds have built-in
clinometers.
As well as being a hands-on activity for students, the methods used in these investigations have real-life relevance and are employed by architects, planners and surveyors who use the same principles to estimate the height of buildings, and/or land formations, often employing the use of a
clinometer for accurate measurements.
If you are unwilling to spring for the cost of a handheld
clinometer, there is another option if you own an iPhone: Several inexpensive apps turn your phone into an accurate
clinometer.
Needle of
clinometer is slipping its way toward tranquility.
Finally, they used a tape measure to walk 100 feet away from a typical tree, then peered at its crown through a device called a
clinometer to estimate the height of the stand.
CUTLINE: Quabbin Regional High School senior Dillon O'Neil sights a tree through a
clinometer to determine its height at the Stewardship Forestry station during the 20th annual Massachusetts Envirothon at Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner yesterday.
This is done by taking a slope reading using a
clinometer from the base of the headcut to the gully length downstream, where a range pole is positioned in the middle of the gully Gully length was measured using a meter tape, through a series of traverses along the gully extent, from the headcut towards downstream, ending at the point that depth was less than 30.
The gradient of each plot was measured with a
clinometer.
At that marked point, they used a
clinometer (forester's instrument that measures height/slope in order to determine tree height based on the angle of measurement) <See Figure 1> to measure the height of the tree.
This new method tries to be independent of the inclination of the boat with no need of using a
clinometer or instrument of angle measurement.
