Height above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level.
In aviation, atmospheric sciences and broadcasting, a height above ground level (AGL [1] or HAGL) is a height measured with respect to the underlying ground surface.This is as opposed to height above mean sea level (AMSL or HAMSL), height above ellipsoid (HAE, as reported by a GPS receiver), or height above average terrain (AAT or HAAT, in broadcast engineering).
The software team made the program flexible enough to be used not just for roads and rivers, but almost any kind of spatial data: provincial boundaries, power-station locations, satellite images, and so on. The program was named JUMP (JAVA Unified Mapping Platform), and it has become a popular, free Geographic Information System (GIS).
DTED (or Digital Terrain Elevation Data) is a standard of digital datasets which consists of a matrix of terrain elevation values, i.e., a Digital Elevation Model.This standard was originally developed in the 1970s to support aircraft radar simulation and prediction.
Vertical references in Europe View from Newlyn harbour showing the lighthouse and Newlyn Tidal Observatory to its right, both painted red and white.. An ordnance datum (OD) is a vertical datum used by an ordnance survey as the basis for deriving altitudes on maps.
The MEF on Canadian VFR navigation charts is calculated by taking the higher value of: . the top elevation of the highest obstacle plus the vertical accuracy (a variable number of feet) of the terrain source data; or
A new SDK version has been developed in Java with JOGL referred to as WorldWind Java. The latest version (2.2.0) was released in August 2020. The latest version (2.2.0) was released in August 2020. This new version has an API -centric architecture with functionalities 'off-loaded' to modular components, leaving the API at the core.
Class A airspace is generally the airspace from 18,000 feet (~3.4 miles, 5.5 km) mean sea level (MSL) up to and including flight level (FL) 600 (~11.4 miles, 18.3 km), including the airspace overlying the waters within 12 nautical miles (NM) (~13.8 miles, 22.2 km) of the coast of the 48 contiguous states and Alaska.
