Latitude refers to the geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees from the equator (0°) to the poles (90° north or south). Departure, on the other hand, is a term used in navigation and surveying to describe the east-west distance between two points, often expressed in nautical miles or meters. It is calculated based on the latitude difference between two locations and helps in determining their relative positions on a map or chart.
It is because all lines of longitude originate and converge there.
In land surveying, latitude is a north-south reference line used to determine a location's position on the Earth's surface. Departures, on the other hand, are east-west distances measured from a reference line, typically a meridian. Together, latitude and departures are used to calculate coordinates for plotting and mapping land parcels.
The equator is zero latitude.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
The latitude of Darwin, Australia is approximately 12.4634° S.
In directional drilling, "Closure Direction" is the azimuth in degrees from well center to a particular point in the well bore. To determine your Closure Direction you need two numbers. The current Latitude(+N/-S) and the Departure(+E/-W) from well center. The main thing to consider when calculating Closure Direction is which quadrant the coordinates are in, as it affects the calulation. The formula to determine Closure Direction in Excel would be as follows: =IF(AND(Latitude>0,Departure<0),ATAN(Departure/Latitude)*180/PI()+360,IF(Latitude<0,ATAN(Departure/Latitude)*180/PI()+180,ATAN(Departure/Latitude)*180/PI()))) Signed, Your friendly neighborhood MWD
