“equal altitudes”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

In celestial navigation, two altitudes numerically the same; the expression applies particularly to the now obsolescent practice of determining the instant of local apparent noon by observing the altitude of the sun a short time before it reaches the meridian and again at the same altitude after transit; the time of local apparent noon is midway between the times of the two observations; however the second observation must be corrected for the run of the ship which took place between the times of the two readings. Also known as double altitudes.
