  Lower culmination -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The culmination of an astronomical object is its passage across the (An imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator) meridian as seen by an observer on (The 3rd planet from the sun; the planet on which we live) earth.
The meridian is a line drawn perpendicular to the (A specific layer or stratum of soil or subsoil in a vertical cross section of land) horizon, directly due (The region of the United States lying south of the Mason-Dixon Line) south from the observer.
The altitude of an object in degrees at its upper culmination is equal to (90 - l - d), where l is the observer's (An imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator) latitude, and d is the object's (A polite refusal of an invitation) declination.

 Lower culmination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The culmination of an astronomical object is its passage across the meridian as seen by an observer on earth.
The meridian passage when the object reaches its lowest altitude is the lower culmination.
The altitude of an object in degrees at its upper culmination is equal to (90 - l - d), where l is the observer's latitude, and d is the object's declination.

The lower culmination observations are given in a separate table in the source reference; they are included in the file "lower".
The logical record length (LRECL) of the file received (the upper and lower culmination observations were on a single file) was 88 bytes (a card image plus 8-byte allowance for CDS identification number); since bytes 50-88 were always blank, LRECL was changed to 49 bytes to save storage space.
The upper and lower culmination tables were separated into two files due to the fact that lower culmination observations are made at lower altitude and are often of lower accuracy than upper culmination observations.

 The Astronomical Observations at the Pole
That this result must be nearly correct is confirmed by the considerable displacement of the periods of culmination which is indicated by the series of observations, and which in the immediate neighbourhood of the Pole is caused by the change in the sun's declination.
Now the series of observations shows that the interval between the upper and the lower culmination amounted at the most to eleven hours; the displacement of the periods of culmination was thus at least half an hour.
The moments of culmination could, of course, only be determined very approximately, and in the same way the observations as a whole are unserviceable for the determination of longitude.

 culmination
The instant at which a celestial object reaches its highest altitude above the horizon as Earth’s rotation carries it across the sky; in other words, the moment the object crosses the observer’s meridian (the north-south line in the sky).
Upper culmination (also known as culmination above pole for circumpolar stars and the Moon) is the crossing closer to the observer’s zenith; lower culmination (or culmination below pole) is the crossing farther from the zenith.
Alternative names for culmination are meridian passage and transit.
