In US broadcasting, service contour (or protected contour) refers to the area in which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) predicts coverage.. The FCC calculates FM and TV contours based on effective radiated power (ERP) in a given direction, the radial height above average terrain (HAAT) in a given direction, the FCC's propagation curves, and the station's class.
Paraboloidal coordinates are three-dimensional orthogonal coordinates (,,) that generalize two-dimensional parabolic coordinates.They possess elliptic paraboloids as one-coordinate surfaces.
Paraboloid of revolution. In geometry, a paraboloid is a quadric surface that has exactly one axis of symmetry and no center of symmetry. The term "paraboloid" is derived from parabola, which refers to a conic section that has a similar property of symmetry. Every plane section of a paraboloid made by a plane parallel to

Hyperbolic paraboloid A model of an elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet A monkey saddle. A saddle surface is a smooth surface containing one or more saddle points.. Classical examples of two-dimensional saddle surfaces in the Euclidean space are second order surfaces, the hyperbolic paraboloid = (which is often referred to as "the saddle surface" or "the standard saddle surface") and the ...
Admiralty charts include information on: depths (chart datum), coastline, buoyage, land and underwater contour lines, seabed composition, hazards, tidal information (indicated by "tidal diamonds"), prominent land features, traffic separation schemes radio direction finding (RDF) information, lights, and other information to assist in navigation ...
Section of topographical map of Nablus area with contour lines at 100-meter intervals. Heights are colour-coded. Heights are colour-coded. In modern mapping, a topographic map or topographic sheet is a type of map characterized by large- scale detail and quantitative representation of relief features, usually using contour lines (connecting ...
