Geodetic in a sentence

It is essentially the basis for geodetic positioning by the Global Positioning System and is thus also in widespread use outside the geodetic community.

Brzezinska arrived in the United States in July 1990 as a Fulbright Scholar graduate student in the Department of Geodetic Science at OSU.

This differs from the events leading up to Kīlauea’s 2018 eruption, for example, when in addition to earthquakes, geodetic sensors measured dramatic changes in deformation due to the accumulation and migration of magma.

Dots show locations of the seafloor geodetic receivers.

West programmed an IBM 7030 “Stretch” computer to deliver increasingly refined calculations for an extremely accurate geodetic Earth model, a geoid, optimized for what ultimately became the GPS, the website states.

At 980 feet (300 m), the highest elevation in the county is a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey benchmark known as "Bailey" in Mountain Lakes Park near the Connecticut state line.

Examples of global datums include World Geodetic System (WGS 84), the default datum used for Global Positioning System WGS 84 is the default datum used in most GPS equipment, but other datums can be selected.

Geodetic GPS receivers produce directly three-dimensional coordinates in a geocentric coordinate frame.

Geodetic observational concepts Here we define some basic observational concepts, like angles and coordinates, defined in geodesy (and astronomy as well), mostly from the viewpoint of the local observer.

Geometric Geodesy, Part I, Dept. of Geodetic Science and Surveying, Ohio State Univ., Columbus, Ohio.

In 1818 or 1819 he proceeded along with Biot to execute geodetic operations on the coasts of France, England and Scotland.

It is geodetic practice—contrary to the mathematical convention—to let the axis point to the North and the axis to the East.

Kern & Co., founded in 1819, was an internationally known geodetic instrument manufacturer based in Aarau.

Laser corner-cube reflectors are also carried to aid in precise orbit determination and geodetic research.

Noto has one of the largest radio telescopes in Italy that performs geodetic and astronomical observations.

Recent and ongoing projects include gravimetric and GPS-based geodetic monitoring, fumarole gas sampling, tephra distribution mapping, new interpretations of the Schriebers Meadow lava flow, and hazards analyses.

Since the normal at a general point on the ellipsoid does not pass through the centre it is clear that points on the normal, which all have the same geodetic latitude, will have differing geocentric latitudes.

Some authors use it as a synonym for geodetic latitude whilst others use it as an alternative to the astronomical latitude.

State Plane Coordinate Systems were then updated, but the National Geodetic Survey left individual states to decide which (if any) definition of the foot they would use.

Such "geodetic" operations are also applied to other astronomical bodies in the solar system.
