Navigation is not about you, or your mind, or what you
can do. It's not about the sun and stars.
It's really about Everything.
-- Shorty Bertelmann, Navigator
Navigation
is about…
# 1
Speed
- sandglass
- log, knot
# 2
Direction
-sun stone
-compass
# 3
Position Fix (before 18 century)
-lead 測深儀
-astrolabe 觀象儀
-cross-staff 橫桿測天儀
-back-staff 背桿測天儀
-quadrant 象限儀
-octans 八分儀
( coastal sailing 海岸線航法 )
( lead )
( parallel sailing 平緯航法 )
(astrolabe)
( back-staff )
(quadrant)
The navigator always knows his Latitude,
but never knows his Longitude…
Until 18 century !

Theory : Fix Position
## Position Fix :
in plane geometry (I)
Situation:
1. You do not know where you are.
2. All you know is the positions of A and D , their altitudes (60o,45o), and length of AB and
DE
How to solve your position ?
D
A
E
B

√3
## Position Fix :
in plane geometry (I)
Solution:
1.
for A, altitude = 60, RA=1
for D, altitude = 45, RD=1
2.
plot the circles with radius = RA
and RD.
3.
C must lie on the intersections.

## Position fix :
in spherical geometry (I)
What is the length between AP and GP?
1) the angle of XZ = zenith dis.
2) 1 nautical mile = 1 海浬
(on earth) =1’arc
= 1/60° arc
≒ 1852 km
Problem of High Altitude Method (高高度觀測法)
1) radius too large
2) distortion on sea chart
AP
Intercept Method
截距法
## Position fix :
in spherical geometry (II)
sine rule: sin(a)/sin(A) = sin(b)/sin(B) = sin(c)/sin(C) cosine rule: cos(a) = cos(b) cos(c) + sin(b) sin(c) cos(A) cos(b) = cos(c) cos(a) + sin(c) sin(a) cos(B)
cos(c) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b) cos(C)
Positional Astronomy: Spherical trigonometry http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/~fv/webnotes/chapter2.htm
Spherical Triangle
## Position fix :
in spherical geometry (II)
A =當地時角(LHA)
B= 天體角
C =方位角(Az)
Terrestrial Triangle
a = 90 - Hc
b= 90 -L
c =90 -Dec
sin(Hc) =sin(L)sin(Dec)+cos(L)cos(Dec)cos(LHA)
sin(C) =cos (Dec)sin(LHA)/ sin(Hc)

## Position fix :
in spherical geometry (II)
Test: 已知兩邊夾一角,求對邊
觀測者所在緯度45度N,天體赤緯5度N,當地時角(LHA)60度,
試求:天體之高度。
Hint: sin(Hc) =sin(L)sin(Dec)+cos(L)cos(Dec)cos(LHA)
Solution:
sin(Hc) =sin(L)sin(Dec)+cos(L)cos(Dec)cos(LHA)
=sin(45)sin(5)+cos(45)cos(5)cos(60)
=0.41384
Hc = 24°26.8’#
