Northing axis is the projection of the starting meridian
of the projection system, while the Easting axis is
defined as the northing axis rotated by 90° clockwise.

Whole circle bearing: the local north is rotated
clockwise to the direction of the target. The angle
which is swept is called the whole circle bearing.

Intersections
Aim: the coordinates of an unknown point should be
computed. Measurements are taken from two
different stations to the unknown point, and the so
formed triangle should be solved.

Orientation
How can the WCB be determined from observations?
Recall the definition of mean direction:
All the angular observations refer
to the index of the horizontal
circle, but they should refer to the
Northing instead!

Compute the orientation angle:
zA=WCBAB-MDAB
Computing the WCB’AP:
WCBAB=zA+MDAB
Computing the mean orientation angle
In case of more orientations, as many orientation
angles can be computed as many control points are
sighted:
zAB=WCBAB-MDAB
zAC=WCBAC-MDAC
zAD=WCBAD-MDAD
zAB, zAC and zAD are usually slightly different due
observation and coordinate error.
However, the orientation angle is constant for a
station and a set of observations.
Mean orientation angle:

Whole circle bearing (WCBAB): computed from
coordinates, between two points, which coordinates are
known.
Provisional whole circle bearing (WCB’AB): an
angular quantity, which is similar to the whole circle
bearing. However it is computed from observations, by
summing up the (mean) orientation angle and the
mean direction.
