General Considerations about the Revision of All the Calculations of the International Latitude Service
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Abstract
A general revision of the calculations of the ILS is necessary, for several reasons. The first fundamental step has been performed with the Melchior-Dejaiffe catalogue. From it, improved values of the screw pitches and their adjustments, new investigations upon closing errors in all the ILS stations with introduction of the tidal deflection of the vertical, new deduction of the Kimura z-term and definitive calculations of x, y, z are obtainable.
