- W620092037 abstract "DIRECTION DETERMINATION The three degrees of freedom, latitude, longitude, and elevation (or equivalents), constitute a rectangular coordinate system (neglecting earth curvature effects), and clearly determination of the orientations of the axes is important. The vertical direction is usually defined by means of a level or plumb line. Horizontal orientation can be determined with respect to the position of a celestial body, the Earth's rotation, magnetic north, or a previously known orientation. Although the most obvious celestial orientation is by sighting on Polaris (which is not exactly at the celestial pole), any star can be used. Sighting on the Sun ( sun shots ) permits orientation during daylight. Nightime observations can establish orientation to a fraction of an arc second (arcsec). Gyrocompass orientation is extensively used in marine and airborne surveys. A gyrocompass gives orientation with respect to true north within about 20 arcsec. A magnetic compass is often used to determine direction with respect to magnetic north, correction for the magnetic declination giving true north. Diurnal variations may create 10 min of error, more during magnetic storms. Care has to be exercised that no local iron or electric currents distort the magnetic field. Benchmarks (identified points of known location) often have nearby reference points (azimuth bars) that can be used to establish orientation. DISTANCE MEASUREMENT Direct measurement of distance is done by seeing how many times a standard measure will fit between points whose separation is to be determined, a technique called chaining , the unit of measure usually being a steel tape (a chain ) of precise length." @default.
