Now rare.

An apparatus for measuring variations of the level of water in a lake or other body of water.

1898 G. H. Darwin Tides ii. 22 Having studied seiches with a plemyrameter for some time, Forel used another form of apparatus.

1908 Geogr. Jrnl. 31 56 Observations were also made by means of Forel's plemyrameter, but owing to the exposed character of the shore all along Loch Ness, observation by this means was very difficult.

1914 Science 6 Nov. 683/1 Forel in his ‘plemyrameter’ used corks weighted to the specific gravity of water.
