摘要

Loran-C receivers measure time delay differences in the signals they receive, computerndifferences of distance, and hence determine the user's position. The conversion from time torndistance requires knowledge of the signals' velocities, which differ from seawater values whenrnpropagating over land. Precise positioning requires the delays of land paths to be accuratelyrnmapped, a procedure traditionally entailing expensive and time-consuming marine surveys. Thernresulting data, in the form of Additional Secondary Factors (ASFs), may be stored in Loranrnreceivers.rnThe authors, working under contract to the Co-ordinating Agency Office of the NorthwestrnEuropean Loran-C System (NELS) are investigating the feasibility of calculating ASFs usingrndatabases of terrain parameters and then adjusting the resulting predicted values using sparsernmeasurements. These techniques, devised in North America a number of years ago, can nowrntake advantage of GPS for precise position measurement and time transfer. In addition, thernpossibility of minimising the degree of specialised surveying by the use of automaticallyoperatingrnreceiving equipment installed on ferries, buoy tenders, and other ships of opportunityrnis being investigated.rnThis paper introduces the concept of Loran-C Additional Secondary Factors, and shows howrnit is possible to map them efficiently. A review and update on the progress of the work isrnpresented. It focuses on recent advances, chiefly the development of powerful sottware forrnmodelling the growth of ASFs over mountainous terrain. This employs an implementation ofrnan algorithm proposed by Monteath [1]. The modelling capability of the algorithm isrndemonstrated by examining propagation along a route that crossed mountains and dep fjords.rnIn addition, the ASFs it predicts are compared with measurements made around the west coastrnof Scotland.
