Question 696Navigation General
70% to passThe correction(s) which must be applied to an aneroid barometer reading include(s) _______________.
A
height error
B
gravity error
C
temperature error
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) height error. An aneroid barometer reading must be corrected for height error, which is the change in atmospheric pressure due to the difference in elevation between the barometer's location and the reference height. As you move higher in elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases, so the barometer reading must be adjusted accordingly. Neither gravity error nor temperature error are corrections that need to be applied to an aneroid barometer reading, so options B and C are incorrect.
