What does the enclosure of the oceans mean to the world and to the people of New Zealand and Australia? What do we gain and what might we lose through the institution of a management regime extending to the maximum reaches allowed under the law of the sea? And how are we to evaluate the system of which the boundaries are only a part? The answers to the foregoing questions certainly bear on the subject of delimitation. We can only assess the effectiveness of the delimitation exercise as it fits into the larger effort, and as our understanding of the larger effort evolves so might our approach to the specific tasks it involves.","PeriodicalId":119818,"journal":{"name":"Australian Surveyor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128840530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the operating principle of the Topcon digital level DL-101C and explains how the staff reading and the sighting distance are derived from the image of the coded staff that is ‘seen’ by the linear sensor of the instrument. Experiences gained with the instrument at UNSW are reported and those of other researchers are summarised. In routine precision digital levelling tests carried out by students at UNSW,·the one-kilometre double-run precision was found to be ±0.22 mm when using specialised measuring and processing procedures. Also at UNSW, the temperature effect on the lines of sight of two DL-101C digital levels was determined as +0. 57”/C and +0.42”/C and the vertical shift as +6 μm/C. Cyclic errors of maximum amplitudes between 12 μm and 39 μm were found in the staff readings of four DL-101C digital levels.","PeriodicalId":119818,"journal":{"name":"Australian Surveyor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125490589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deviations of the vertical over Australia will change by an average of 6.8” due to the implementation of the Geocentric Datum of Australia. Therefore, for most applications, the deviation of the vertical may no longer be neglected in survey computations and adjustments. With the release of the AUSGeoid98, absolute deviations of the vertical at the geoid and with respect to the GRS80 ellipsoid are now available for these purposes. The improvements made when using deviations of the vertical are demonstrated for several worked examples. The exception is that the deviation of the vertical should not be applied when computing height differences from zenith angles and slope distances for use on the Australian Height Datum (AHD).","PeriodicalId":119818,"journal":{"name":"Australian Surveyor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130936886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
