Latitude in a sentence

In comparison, the intensity of mesoscale eddies in low-latitude waters is much weaker, making this pattern mainly restricted to mid-latitude waters.

The new Cherokee Latitude Lux slots between the Latitude Plus and off-road ready Trailhawk trims.

Astronomical latitude Astronomical latitude (Φ) is the angle between the equatorial plane and the true vertical at a point on the surface.

Galactic latitude Latitude (symbol b ) measures the angular distance of an object perpendicular to the galactic equator, positive to the north, negative to the south.

He reasoned that the lines of latitude could be used as the basis for a unit of measurement for distance and proposed the nautical mile as one minute or one-sixtieth () of one degree of latitude.

Latitude is measured perpendicular to the ecliptic, to +90° northward or -90° southward to the poles of the ecliptic, the ecliptic itself being 0° latitude.

Nautical miles and knots are almost universally used for aeronautical and maritime navigation, because of their relationship with degrees and minutes of latitude and the convenience of using the latitude scale on a map for distance measuring.

Once the initial latitude and longitude is established, the system receives impulses from motion detectors that measure the acceleration along three or more axes enabling it to continually and accurately calculate the current latitude and longitude.

Since latitude is defined with respect to an ellipsoid, the position of a given point is different on each ellipsoid: one cannot exactly specify the latitude and longitude of a geographical feature without specifying the ellipsoid used.

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

The figure below shows a point P at latitude φ and longitude λ on the globe and a nearby point Q at latitude φ + δφ and longitude λ + δλ.

The most commonly used form of the Köppen classification has five primary types labeled A through E. These primary types are A, tropical; B, dry; C, mild mid-latitude; D, cold mid-latitude; and E, polar.

The other, more useful, approach is to express the auxiliary latitude as a series in terms of the geodetic latitude and then invert the series by the method of Lagrange reversion.

The series method is not applicable to the isometric latitude and one must use the conformal latitude in an intermediate step.

The terminology for latitude must be made more precise by distinguishing :Geodetic latitude: the angle between the normal and the equatorial plane.

A G2-level solar storm could affect high-latitude power systems by triggering voltage alarms, and long-duration storms could cause damage to transformers.

Alphabet accounts for approximately 0.7% of Latitude Advisors LLC’s portfolio, making the stock its 24th largest position.

A new study, which was led by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, investigated for the first time what is the impact of different gap-filling methods on the carbon balance estimates of high-latitude ecosystems.

Another solid option for the average user is Dell's Latitude 3540 laptop.

As seen on Slide 19, in 2022, we completed three developments in the Ontario region: The Kay, a property in Mississauga; Latitude; and Luma in Ottawa.
