  2. Chart datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_datum

    Tide tables give the height of the tide above a chart datum making it feasible to calculate the depth of water at a given point and at a given time by adding the charted depth to the height of the tide. One may calculate whether an area that dries is under water by subtracting the drying height from the [given] height calculated from the tide ...

  3. Orthometric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthometric_height

    The orthometric height (symbol H) is the vertical distance along the plumb line from a point of interest to a reference surface known as the geoid, the vertical datum that approximates mean sea level. [1] [2] Orthometric height is one of the scientific formalizations of a layman's "height above sea level", along with other types of heights in ...

  4. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    The free-air correction adjusts measurements of gravity to what would have been measured at mean sea level, that is, on the geoid. The gravitational attraction of Earth below the measurement point and above mean sea level is ignored and it is imagined that the observed gravity is measured in air, hence the name.

  5. Ordnance datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_datum

    Tunnel datum is a datum based on an ordnance datum and used in designing tunnels which pass below sea level. for the London Underground, a tunnel datum of ODN −100 m is used; [7] thus a depth of −60 m AOD is 40 m ATD (above tunnel datum) for the Channel Tunnel, a tunnel datum of ODN −200 m is used; [8] thus a depth of −60 m is 140 m ATD

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_chart

    A good way to keep track of corrections is with a Chart and Publication Correction Record Card system. Using this system, the navigator does not immediately update every chart in the portfolio when a new Notice to Mariners arrives, instead creating a card for every chart and noting the correction on this card. When the time comes to use the ...

  7. Altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude

    Aviation altitude is measured using either mean sea level (MSL) or local ground level (above ground level, or AGL) as the reference datum. Pressure altitude divided by 100 feet (30 m) is the flight level, and is used above the transition altitude (18,000 feet (5,500 m) in the US, but may be as low as 3,000 feet (910 m) in other jurisdictions ...
