What is Orthometric Correction and its applications?
We know that the earth flattens in the polar direction and this curvature of the earth is responsible for the departure of a horizontal line from a level surface. To counter this error, orthometric corrections are applied.
Orthometric correction is used in a wide range of applications, including mapping, geodetic surveying, navigation, and geophysical modelling.
How to Calculate Departure given Distance in Kilometers?
Departure given Distance in Kilometers calculator uses Departure in ft = 0.0785*(Distance in Kilometres)^2 to calculate the Departure in ft, The Departure given Distance in Kilometers formula is defined as a horizontal line to depart from a level surface. Departure in ft is denoted by Cf symbol.
