Northeastern Tropical Pacific approximately 5—20° North latitude, 110—155° West longitude (25,26) ia the Central Indian Ocean south of India approximately 5—10° South latitude, 75—88° East longitude (27) ia the EEZ of the Cook Islands ia the South Pacific approximately 15—25° South latitude, 155—165° West longitude (28) and the Blake Plateau off the Adantic coast of the United States approximately 30—35° North latitude, 65—80° West longitude (29). 

HOW TO DETERMINE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE FROM TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS... 

Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the distance east or west of the prime meridian (Greenwich, Engiand). Latitude and longitude are measured in seconds, minutes, and degrees. 

To determine the latitude and longitude of your facility you will need a topographic map from United States Geological Survey (USGS). 

USGS maps used for determining latitude and longitude may be obtained from the USGS distribution center. These maps are available in both the 7.5 minute and 15 minute series. For maps of the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, contact ...

Construct a small rectangle around the point with fine pencil lines connecting the nearest 2 1/2 or 5 graticules. Graticules are intersections of latitude and longitude lines that are marked on the map edge, and appear as black crosses at four points in the interior of the map. 

Read and record the latitude and longitude for the southeast comer of the small quadrangle drawn In step two. The latitude and longitude are printed at the edges of the map. 

Determine the number of seconds to be added to the longitude recorded in step 3 by using the ratio ... 

To determine the Increment of longitude west of the longitude line recorded in step 3,... 

In order to specify the building location on the surface of the earth, the values of latitude, longitude, and altitude of the site are required. The orientation of the building can be specified as an azimuth angle between the main axis of the building and the north (or south) direction.

RTR filament-wound pipe is, however, an anisotropic material. That is, its material properties, such as its modulus of elasticity and ultimate strength, are different in each of the principal directions of hoop and longitude. It is here where the design approaches for steel and RTR pipe part company [Fig. 4-2(c)]. This behavior is a result of the construction of filament-wound RTR pipe. 

FIGURE 129 The spherical polar coordinates r is the radius, which gives the distance from the center, tt is the colatitude, which gives the angle from the z-axis, and c >, the "longitude," is the azimuth, which gives the angle from the x-axis.

In order to estimate the extent of ozone depletion caused by a given release of CFCs, computer models of the atmosphere are employed. These models incorporate information on atmospheric motions and on the rates of over a hundred chemical and photochemical reactions. The results of measurements of the various trace species in the atmosphere are then used to test the models. Because of the complexity of atmospheric transport, the calculations were carried out initially with one-dimensional models, averaging the motions and the concentrations of chemical species over latitude and longitude, leaving only their dependency on altitude and time. More recently, two-dimensional models have been developed, in which the averaging is over longitude only.
