A seventeenth century navigator would have been pleased to estimate his longitude with an error of 1 degree. At a WGS84 LLH (Lat: 42 degree, Long: 83 degree, Geodetic Height: 100 m), what would have been the resultant position error in meters? First, try the simple spherical model of the earth with radius of 6371 km. Next, use the WGS 84 ellipsoidal model (Table 4.1). Note that 6371 km is the approximate radius of a sphere whose volume equals that of the WGS 84 ellipsoid.

Explanation / Answer

108000 Meters
