An apparatus for sensing the level of the glass batch in a glass-melting furnace. The apparatus comprises means for transmitting an ultrasonic signal toward the surface of the batch in the furnace, means for receiving the ultrasonic signal after it has been reflected by the surface of the batch, and means for distrubing a thermal inversion layer in the path of the ultrasonic signal in the gaseous medium between the means for transmitting and the surface of the batch. The means for transmitting, means for receiving and means for disturbing are positioned above the glass batch.
