Los magnetómetros permiten medir ya la intensidad del campo magnético, ya los distintos elementos del magnetismo terrestre [...]. A veces se hallan especialmente constituidos para medir no ya dichas magnitudes, sino las variaciones experimentadas por las mismas, en cuyo caso se llaman variómetros magnéticos y se hallan provistos de un sistema para registrar continuamente las medidas. 1, record 2, Spanish, - magnet%C3%B3metro

A vario or variometer is an instrument which a pilot uses to tell when he is climbing. The vario senses slight changes in air pressure (pressure decreases with altitude) and indicates climbing with a tone and/or a display. Varios are often incorporated into instruments which also include altimeters and airspeed indicators. 2, record 3, English, - variometer

Le variomètre. Il permet de connaître le sens et la vitesse de variation de l'altitude pour déterminer l'allure de vol à adopter (ralentissement, accélération, fuite ) vis-à-vis de la situation, centrer une ascendance thermique en cherchant son noyau, donc la zone où l'on obtient la plus forte vitesse de montée. [...] Le variomètre, quel que soit son principe de fonctionnement, détecte toujours la variation de vitesse en montée ou en descente avec un temps de retard. [...] Il faut donc préciser que le variomètre est un instrument d'évaluation de l'ascendance, mais en aucun cas de détection de celle-ci. 3, record 3, French, - variom%C3%A8tre
