United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The deviation between IVS location and true location, dIVS shall be calculated using the following equations:

  • Δφ = φIVS – φtrue

  • Δλ = λIVS – λtrue

  • φm=φIVS+φtrue2
  • dIVS=R Δφ2+cosφmΔλ2

where:

Δφ
  • Difference in latitude (in radian)

  • Δλ
  • Difference in longitude (in radian)

  • φm
  • Mean latitude (in unit suitable for the cosine calculation)

  • R
  • Radius of the earth (mean) = 6 371 009 metres
