	Problem 2: Zulu Time to Local Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		With the use of Zulu time, all pilots and air traffic controllers will be recording the same time independent of their local time and, in turn, their locations in the world.
		The time zone indicators are E for eastern-standard time, C for central-standard time, M for mountain-standard time and P for pacific-standard time.
		You are to produce the local standard time that would appear on a 12-hour clock for the indicated time zone and given Zulu time.

		Times on weather reports and forecasts are almost always in Zulu time (It used to be called Greenwich Mean Time.) This same time is also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and also as Universal Time.
		The term "Universal Time" is usually used in astronomy while "Zulu time" is used in meteorology and aviation.
		The fixed time feature of the World Clock enables you to set any Zulu time and see what time that is in local times around the world.

	Zulu Time? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Note that the phonetic alphabet is used for the letter Z (Zulu).
		This time is usually referred to as Zulu Time because of the letter assigned to this time zone.
		This time zone had previously been called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but was replaced with UTC in 1972 as the official world time standard changed.

	Zulu Time
		By the time Mesopotamia became Iraq, the world was stuck with the twelve-month year (one-fifth of sixty), the twenty-four-hour day, the sixty-minute hour, the sixty-second minute, and the rest of it.
		By the time the Wright brothers took to the air, standard time was used in most of the civilized world.
		When US time lines were changed in 1963, they moved several west Texas towns into the Central Time Zone, where they are an hour ahead of parts of New Mexico that are farther east.

	Time Zones and "Z" Time
		GMT time is also referred to as "Z" or, phonetically, "Zulu" time, for the letter identifying that time zone centered on the Greenwich Prime Meridian (See the time zone labels along the top of the accompanying World Map of Time Zones).
		Civil time zones were initially instituted in the U.S. and Canada in the 1880's by the railroads to standardize time keeping.
		Time in the Z or UTC system is reckoned from the local standard time observed along the Greenwich Meridian.

	COMPUTING TIME IN GEOGRAPHIC POSITIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The correlation of time and geographic coordinates is a critical skill for members of the intelligence community.
		Once you have learned to convert time from local to ZULU and from ZULU to local, the conversion using positional coordinates is a simple matter.
		By subtracting the local time zone of -2 from your local time of 1345B, you arrive at ZULU time 1145Z.

	ZULU Conversion
		Standard time zones are established at intervals of 15 degrees of longitude east and west of the Prime Meridian.
		The exact boundaries of the time zones are modified by political and geographic considerations, but generally form about seven and one half degrees, on either side of the zone reference Meridian.
		The time of each zone is an integral number of hours earlier than Universal Time Standard (UTS), or Zulu, Greenwich, England time.

	ZULU 4 - YES Watch
		Centuries ago British sailors recognized the dire need for a fixed time keeping method to safely navigate the vast oceans and in 1884, at the Washington conference, the 24 hour GMT system was adopted as the first worldwide time standard.
		At a glance you see times for sunrise and sunset, solar high noon, moonrise and moonset, moon phase, military time and of course hours, minutes and seconds in AM/PM or 2400 time mode, for wherever you are in the world.
		The ZULU also has a sunrise and sunset alarm which chimes half an hour before and at the event, as well a a regular set alarm with a 10-minute snooze.

	Zulu (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zulu is a 1964 film depicting the Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Army of the Zulus.
		Zulu troops arrive, and distracting the British garrison with war dances, allow Zulu sharpshooters to open fire on the station from a neighbouring hill.
		Zulu was filmed in the Royal Natal National Park, which is about 90 miles south west of Rorke's Drift (the Amphitheatre, which is part of the Drakensburg range, forms a dramatic backdrop in the movie).

	Meteorological Time Defintion - The use of the Universal Time Constant for meteoroligical & hydrological data.
		The time expressed in hydrometeorological products is important for correct interpretation for their use and also varies according to the product.
		These times [the times of preparation, transmission and the forecast valid time] are expressed in UTC.
		Hence, the time in the bulletin heading will be the standard time, usually ending in minutes of zero (00), and the first time within the forecast will be the preparation time and will end in 30, representing 30 minutes after the hour.

		Zulu people are best known for their culture, their beliefs, their traditional wear and most of the battles fought in the past especially the Isandlwana battle between them and the British in1879.
		A Zulu king is always succeeded by his elder son in a clan, this is the reason why Kings had many wives so that their legacy can continue, when the ninth noted King of kwaZulu, Senzangakhona kaJama who also succeeded his father Jama kaNdaba died.
		Amongst other occasions that Zulus are known to celebrate in this day is the Zulu girls Reed dance, held at the Royal palace in kwaZulu- Natal, where the Zulu girls sing and dance and warriors show off the Zulu weapons and shields for the King and audience.

	Computer, Telephony and Electronics Glossary and Dictionary
		Zulu time is used in the military, navigation, computing and telephony generally as a term for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), sometimes incorrectly called Universal Time Coordinated, Universal Coordinated Time or Coordinated Universal Time (but still abbreviated UTC universally), and often called (again, incorrectly) Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
		Greenwich Time, now often called Coordinated Universal Time, is the time at longitude 0 (zero) degrees 0 (zero) minutes - the prime meridian or longitudinal line that separates East from West in the world geographical coordinate system.
		Zulu time is usually expressed in terms of a 24-hour clock using the Gregorian time divisions of hours and minutes.

	Coordinated Universal Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		UTC is derived from International Atomic Time (TAI), which is a time scale tracking proper time on the surface of the Earth with no reference to the rotation of the Earth.
		However, it was widely desired to keep civil time synchronised with the Earth's rotation, and many uses of time signals (such as for navigation) relied on their closely matching Universal Time.
		The resulting gradual shift of the sun's movements relative to civil time is analogous to the shift of seasons relative to the yearly calendar that results from the calendar year not precisely matching the astronomical year length.

		GPS, Global Positioning System time, is the atomic time scale implemented by the atomic clocks in the GPS ground control stations and the GPS satellites themselves.
		Loran time was zero at 0h 1-Jan-1958 and since it is not affected or altered by leap seconds it is now ahead of UTC by TAI, Temps Atomique International, is the international atomic time scale based on a continuous counting of the SI second.
		TDT is used as the time scale of ephemerides for observations from Earth's surface, and differs from international atomic time (TAI) by an offset of 32.184 seconds (TDT=TAI + 32.184), which varies slightly with time.

	U.S. Navy: The meaning of "Zulu" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Our natural concept of time is linked to the rotation of the earth and we define the length of the day as the 24 hours it takes the earth to spin once on its axis.
		As time pieces became more accurate and communication became global, there needed to be a point from which all other world times were based.
		As a result, when the concept of time zones was introduced, the "starting" point for calculating the different time zones was/is at the Royal Greenwich Observatory.

	Zulu Time
		To explain "Zulu" time, we must explain "Z time," which was developed by Nathaniel Bowditch, an 18th century sea captain and author of "The American Practical Navigator," still considered an essential textbook on sea navigation.
		Thus was the notion of time zones born, and Bowditch designated them with letters, marching East from Greenwich, through the International Date Line (180 degrees longitude), and back to England as he neared the end of the alphabet.
		From "Z time" to "zulu" is a much simpler jump. "Zulu" is simply the letter "Z" rendered in the NATO phonetic alphabet used by the military and air traffic controllers ("Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot," etc.) for clarity in radio transmissions.

	Z-Time - by Harold F. Maybeck
		The first zone centered on 15° West longitude became time zone "N", the next time zone west centered on 30° West longitude became time zone "O", etc, etc. Approaching the International Date Line from the east, Bowditch designated the remaining "half zone" from 172.5° West longitude to 180° longitude as time zone "Y".
		This notation, "Z", is appended to times on most navigational, meteorological, and astronomical charts today to indicate that the time of the chart is in "Greenwich Mean Time".
		The "original" expression "In jig time" was a sailors expression, meaning "in no time at all", because there is no "JIG" time zone.
