Climate adjusted a shop meter (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atmosphere

'climate' is the definition.
(atmosphere is a kind of climate)

'adjusted a shop meter' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'shop'+'meter'='ashopmeter'
'ashopmeter' anagrammed gives 'ATMOSPHERE'.

(Other definitions for atmosphere that I've seen before include "Feeling" , "climate" , "Pervading tone or mood" , "Air" , "blue?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
