  Sun or Moon Altitude/Azimuth Table   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The altitude and azimuth values are tabulated as a function of the standard time of the place requested (daylight time is not used) on a 24-hour clock.
Azimuth is the angle along the horizon, with zero degrees corresponding to North, and increasing in a clockwise fashion.
The altitude and azimuth values are for the center of the apparent disk of the Sun or Moon.

Azimuth is a vast poem, 337 pages long, 17 times as long as ‘Briggflatts’, 21 times as long as The Waste Land, 337 times as long as ‘Froggie would a-wooing go’.
Azimuth does not present any passages of great intensity or brilliance, but its appeal is pervasive once you have gone on reading for long enough.
Azimuth is a book of great obliquity: the real theme is arguing for a co-operative, non-materialistic, life, but this theme is never attacked head-on.

 Map and Compass Fundamentals
An azimuth is taken with a compass by holding the compass horizontal and level at waist, or a little higher, with the direction of travel arrow pointing at the object for which the azimuth is being taken.
The azimuth to the object is the degrees indicated on the rim of the compass housing adjacent to the index line.
To establish an azimuth using a compass with a mirror, the compass is first held at waist height and the direction of travel arrow pointed at the object for which the azimuth is being taken.

 Land Navigation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The method for determining a magnetic azimuth (or bearing) to a distant object depends upon the type of compass you are using.
Follow the azimuth you set by using the center-hold method, align the north arrow with the luminous line on the face and proceed in a line with the luminous markings or sight wire on the opened cover.
With your compass, take a magnetic azimuth from your unknown position to the first distant point, convert to a back azimuth, correct for declination (convert to a grid azimuth) and, using a protractor, draw a line from the distant point along the converted azimuth.

Azimuth - Generally, this is the angular distance along the horizon to the location of the object (measured in degrees).
By convention, azimuth is measured from north, rotating towards the east, along the horizon.
Regarding satellites specifically, it is the horizontal angle of rotation that a parabolic antenna located on the ground must be rotated through to point towards a specific satellite in space.

 Processing of SAR-data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The sensor is moved along the x-axis (azimuth) and emmits, perpendicular to flight direction, the radar pulses to the ground.
This bandwidth in azimuth sets also the lower limit of the pulse repetion frequency (PRF) of the radar, with which the radar pulses are emmitted to the ground.
The process of azimuth focussing, as presented here, is comutationally very intensiv, as for every single pixel a correlation has to be calculated, consisting out of a great number of additions and multiplications.

 Processing ScanSAR Data Using a Chirp z-Transform
The most commonly used mode is the strip mode, in which the radar antenna is pointed in a fixed direction with respect to the flight track and the illumination footprint covers a strip on the ground as the radar system moves along the flight track.
The mapping swath is arbitrarily long in the azimuth (along-track) direction; as a result, the finest achievable resolution in azimuth (the along-track coordinate) is independent of range (radar/target distance) and equals half the along-track dimension of the antenna.
Regarding the other algebraic symbols: x´ is an azimuthal coordinate, l is the wavelength of the radar signal, and x is an azimuthal spatial frequency often interpreted in terms of Doppler frequency.

Whereas the range of the azimuth angle of rise and set is constant for the sun, it varies for the moon:
Altitude is the angular distance above the horizon (0 < h < 90°), and azimuth the angular distance, measured along the horizon, eastwards from the north point N in nautics (0 < alpha <360°), or westwards from the south point S (in astronomy).

The magnitude of the response at each azimuth and elevation is shown by the height of the contour.
The mean and standard deviation of the response of a single neuron as a function of the stimulus azimuth (0° elevation) are shown for an AI neuron (A) and a CM neuron (B).
The ability of the neuron to predict the behavior was calculated as the distance in azimuth that corresponded to one standard deviation from the mean response at 0° (dashed lines).

 Phish.Net FAQ: Azimuth
There is a small azimuth adjustment screw on one side of the head that adjusts the angle of the head w/r/t the tape (that angle-relationship is called the head-azimuth, in case you didn't figure that out yet ;-).
In general, most commercially recorded tapes will be recorded with something close to 'proper' azimuth, but to do the job properly, have a properly-trained technician at a hi-fi do it for you.
If you deliberately (or not deliberately) mis-align the azimuth and record a tape, that signal on the tape will be recorded with that particular azimuth, and in order to maximize the sound quality on playback, you need to have the azimuth the same as it was during recording.
