The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This report describes the work undertaken in the preceding year of this study. A large part of the work has been the development of methods for the rapid evaluation of a latitude, longitude position fix from a given set of Omega lines of position. Details are given of a method for approximating latitude and longitude in a given region by a function of two Omega values (ie tow Omega lane numbers), and also of a method for calculating directly the latitude longitude of a given intersection of two Omega position lines assuming these to be given on a spherical earth. A description of a much more efficient program of 'the full geodesic type' is also presented.
