- 1MERCATOR: how do rhumb lines appearas straight lines
- 2MERCATOR: what type of projection is usedcylindrical projection
- 3MERCATOR: how is conformality acheivedspacings of parallels of latitude adjusted
- 4MERCATOR: where is the parallel of origin/ point of tangency?at the equator
- 5MERCATOR: how do meridians appearas straight lines
- 6MERCATOR: ABBA formulaDenAcosB = DenBcosA
- 7MERCATOR: what can be said about chart convergencyit is constant
- 8MERCATOR: where is chart convergency correctat the equator (+/- 8˚ = to approx 480 nm)
- 9MERCATOR: what are the common usesnautical charts
meterological charts
aviation charts in the tropics - 10MERCATOR: what can you say about the GCthey are concave to the equator and convex to the poles above 10˚ latitude
- 11MERCATOR: what is important to remember about the GC when it comes to the tropics/ equatorthey appear as straight lines, so between 10˚ N and 10˚ S, the straight line will represent a GC
- 12MERCATOR: what can be said about the Lines of Longitudethey are parallel and equally spaced
- 13MERCATOR: what can be said about the parallels of latitudethey are parallel and unequally spaced
- 14MERCATOR: how far N/S is it possible to mapno further than 70˚N/S
- 15what do radio waves travel alonggreat circles.
shortest route from one place to another - 16MERCATOR: where does EC=CCat the equator
- 17MERCATOR: what can be said about the representation of shapes and areasalmost exact around the equator and low latitudes, however, above 60 ˚ N/S scale has changed by a scale of 2 so the representation of areas and shapes is poor
- 18LAMBERTS: what type of projection is usedsimple conical
- 19LAMBERTS: what is usually used as the Parallel of OriginLine of Latitude or small circle
- 20LAMBERTS: What is the chart convergencyconstant
- 21LAMBERTS: where are CC and Scale both correctat the parallel of Origin
- 22LAMBERTS: how are meridians representedas straight lines
- 23LAMBERTS: LAMBERTS: Sin(PO) can be referred to as...Constant of the cone
N
Convergence factor - 24LAMBERTS: how can you calculate the parallel of Latitudeinverse sin of n
- 25LAMBERTS: what are standard parallelspoints where the cone inside touches the reduced earth
- 26LAMBERTS: what does the scale do between the standard parallelsthe scale contracts
- 27LAMBERTS: where is the scale correctat the standard of parallels
- 28LAMBERTS: where is the POhalf way between the 2 poles in theory, however in practice it is usually closer to the pole of projection
- 29LAMBERTS: in the rule of sixths what is the max spread of latitude24˚
- 30LAMBERTS: what can you say about the GC in regard to the POthe GC is concave to the PO
BUT IS DRAWN AS A STRAIGHT LINE - 31LAMBERTS: what does the scale do outside of the Standard Parallelsit expands
- 32LAMBERTS: where are the shapes and areas considered okay in the rule of sixthsbetween the standards of parallels
- 33LAMBERTS: what does the rule of sixths implythat between the standards of parallels is 4/6ths and either side of the Standard of Parallels is 1/6th respectively
- 34LAMBERTS: what can you say about the rhumb linesthey are concave to the pole of projection
- 35LAMBERTS: what is the formula for CC?CC = ch.long x N
- 36LAMBERTS: what can you say about the positions of RL and the corresponding GC when close to the equatorthe RL always lies closer to the equator than the corresponding GC
- 37LAMBERTS: what values does N (constant of the cone) lie between0 and 1
cannot equal either - 38POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: Where is the light placedat the opposite pole
- 39POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what does the scale doexpand away from the pole
- 40POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what does chart convergency =ch.long
- 41POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: where is the scale considered constantabove 70˚ Lat
- 42POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what can you say about the position of E/Wit does not change
EAST RHS
WEST LHS - 43POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS (PSC) : on a N PSC where is 0 E/Wat the bottom, arrow points upwards to the NP
- 44POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: where is the scale correctthe pole (point of tangency)
- 45POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what are the usesplotting ang grid
topographical
radio facility
met charts - 46POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what can be said about the GCit is concave to the pole of projection
- 47POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what can you say about the curvaturecurvature decreases towards the pole of projection
- 48POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: how are meridians and anti-merdians drawnas straight lines above the 78˚ lat
- 49POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what can you say about RLconcave to the pole
- 50POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what is the co-lat90-latitude
- 51POLAR STEREOGRAPHIC CHARTS: what is the equation for the rate of expansionRoE = Scale at pole x Sec²(0.5 co-lat)
