From these, using astronomical theory, it calculates the direction of the sun as seen from the mirror, e . g . its compass bearing and angle of elevation.
22.
In addition to the compass bearing, for each leg the total distance will be measured as well as the height gained or lost and the steepness of the ground.
23.
They'll drop a rope line down, take a compass bearing and crawl along the floor until they find the body, then bring it up to the back of the dive boat.
24.
Mariners have long known that these measures do not completely cancel deviation; hence, they performed an additional step by measuring the compass bearing of a landmark with a known magnetic bearing.
25.
Because some of the migrants cross four time zones in just a day or two, their internal clocks fall out of sync with the sun's schedule, and their compass bearings get skewed.
26.
Quite commonly, azimuths or compass bearings are stated in a system in which either north or south can be the zero, and the angle may be measured clockwise or anticlockwise from the zero.
27.
His claim to have reached the summit is not supported by his photos'vistas, his two sketch maps'markers, and peak-numberings for points attained, nor by his compass bearings, barometer readings, route-map or camp trash.
28.
Murphy leads a " meteorite posse " of mostly volunteers and plans to keep gathering data, including witness accounts, compass bearings and altitude measurements, for at least one more week before conducting a ground search.
29.
Rocque combined two surveying techniques : he made a ground-level survey with a compass and a physical metal chain & ndash; the unit of length also being the Compass bearings were taken of the lines measured.
30.
To cope with compass bearings between the cities given, varying latitudes were used, reducing scale for lower latitudes, which was innovative, but conceptually opposite to Mercator's later approach ( " F . W . Kr�cken, " 2004 ).
