geodetic
  زمین‌سنجیک   
zamin-sanjik

Fr.: géodésique   

Of, relating to, or determined by → geodesy.

geodesy; → -ic.

geodetic coordinates
  هماراهای ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
hamârâhâ-ye zamin-sanjik

Fr.: coordonnées géodésiques   

A → coordinate system, composed of → geodetic latitude and → geodetic longitude on the → Earth's surface which is dependent on the figure and size of a particular model for the Earth's surface.

geodetic; → coordinate.

geodetic datum
  داده‌بن ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
dâdebon-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: donnée géodésique   

Any of the adopted values of → geodetic latitude, → geodetic longitude, or → azimuth at a selected location (an initial station) whose astronomical coordinates have already been determined.

geodetic; → datum.

geodetic equator
  هموگار ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
hamugâr-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: équateur géodésique   

The plane swept out as the generating ellipse of the → reference ellipsoid rotates about its minor axis.

geodetic; → equator.

geodetic latitude
  ورونای ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
varunâ-ye zamin-sanjik

Fr.: latitude géodésique   

The → acute angle between the → geodetic vertical and the → geodetic equator.

geodetic; → latitude.

geodetic longitude
  درژنای ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
derežnâ-ye zamin-sanjik

Fr.: longitude géodésique   

The angle between the plane of the → geodetic meridian and the plane of of the geodetic meridian through the site of the → Airy transit circle at the Royal Greenwich Observatory.

geodetic; → longitude.

geodetic meridian
  نیمروزان ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
nimruzân-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: méridien géodésique   

The → ellipse through the point in question which passes through the → geodetic poles.

geodetic; → meridian.

geodetic parallel
  پراسوی ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
parâsu-ye zamin-sanjik

Fr.: parallèle géodésique   

Any of the small circles on the → reference ellipsoid parallel to the → geodetic equator.

geodetic; → parallel.

geodetic pole
  قطب ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
qotb-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: pôle géodésique   

Any of the interaction points of the axis of revolution of the → reference ellipsoid with its surface.

geodetic; → pole.

geodetic precession
  پیشایان ِ کهین‌رهی   
pišâyân-e kehinrahi

Fr.: précession géodésique   

A → relativistic effect on the precession motion of a gravitational system due to the → curvature of the → space-time. When a body revolves around a primary, the → rotation axis of the orbiting body follows the curvature of spece-time. Over time the space-time warping causes the spin axis to precess. In the case of the Earth-Moon system, this means a small → direct motion of the → equinox along the → ecliptic, amounting to 1''.915 per century. The geodetic precession is given by: ψg = (3/2) k2 (1 - e) n, where k is the → constant of aberration (in radians), e the → eccentricity of the Earth and n the mean angular orbital motion of the Earth (in arcsec/cy). Also called → Einstein-de Sitter effect and → geodesic precession.

geodetic; → precession

geodetic refraction
  شکست ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
šekast-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: réfraction géodésique   

The limiting case of → astronomical refraction when the light path is entirely within the Earth's atmosphere.

geodetic; → refraction.

geodetic vertical
  هجین ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
hajin-e zamin-sanjik

Fr.: vertical géodésique   

The direction defined by the → normal to the → reference ellipsoid at the point in question.

geodetic; → vertical.

geodetic zenith
  سرسوی ِ زمین‌سنجیک   
sarsu-ye zamin-sanjik

Fr.: zénith géodésique   

The intersection of the prolongation of the outward → normal to the → reference ellipsoid at the point in question with the → celestial sphere.

geodetic; → zenith.
