Atmospheric errors in altimeter system arise from fluctuations in measured parameters, manifested as not indicated altitude variations; analysis reveals that at low altitudes in troposphere, density altitude is less accurate than pressure-altitude; above about 15,000 ft, either pressure or density is acceptable altitude determinant; device developed for measuring density more accurately than pressure altimeters measure pressure; possibility of combining two systems should be examined.
