  Above mean sea level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The height above average terrain (HAAT) for a station is determined from topographic maps by averaging the elevation AMSL at points along several radials or radii.
This is subtracted from the elevation AMSL of the antenna, including both the tower itself and the ground it is on, to determine the difference.
AMSL is also important to engineers in high-elevation areas because some equipment is not designed with enough airflow for sufficient cooling in the thin air, which can cause overheating, damage, and failure of the electronic components within a transmitter.

 Sea level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the sea, with reference to a suitable reference surface.
Mean sea level at the Pacific end of the Panama Canal stands 20 cm higher than at the Atlantic end.
The subsidence of land due to the withdrawal of groundwater is an isostatic cause of relative sea level rise.

(4) having circuit means for generating the number located within a square that is positioned to the left of the illuminated dot representing a flying aircraft, where said number corresponds to the nautical miles of the flying aircraft to said approaching aircraft.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a means for pilots of aircraft to directly ascertain the position of a microburst, thunderstorm, tornado, a wake turbulence, and other flying aircraft near the flight path of an aircraft that is attempting to land or take-off from the landing runway of an airport.

 USGS Lake Gage at ECHO -- Real-time Data from the Lake Gage
The water levels are usually highest from April to May because of high runoff in tributary streams due to snowmelt and low evapotranspiration.
The highest recorded level at the gage in Burlington was 101.86 feet above mean sea level on April 27, 1993.
The minimum lake level observed in Burlington was 92.6 feet above mean sea level on December 4, 1908.

In humid equatorial climates, gradual sea level rise would cause a brackish-water zone to migrate inland [Gornitz, 1991].
As sea level rises, the tidal saltwater zone penetrates further upstream [Gornitz, 1991].
Therefore each increment of sea level rise reduces the freshwater capacity of the lens by 40 times [Gornitz, 1991].
