American Practical Navigator an Epitome of Navigation, Pub. No. 9 Edition 2024 Vol 1 and 2
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: Nathaniel Bowdicht (Dr. Gerard J. Clifford, Jr. Editor) Genre: Handbook Publisher: NGA Edition: 2024 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 1358 Description: As much as it is a part of history, Bowditch is not a history book. In this edition, as in past editions, dated material was dropped and new methods, technologies and tech- niques added to keep pace with changes in the practice of navigation. The changes are intended to ensure Bowditch remains the premier reference work for modern, practical marine navigation. This edition replaces but does not cancel former editions, which may be retained and consulted as to historical navigation methods not discussed herein. PART 1, FUNDAMENTALS, includes an overview of the topic of marine navigation and the organizations which develop, support and regulate it. These fundamentals include chapters relating to geodesy and chart datums; modern hydrography; the types, structure, use and limita- tions of nautical charts; electronic chart display and infor- mation systems; and finally a concise explanation and sum- mary of the various navigational publications necessary for prudent marine navigation. PART 2, PILOTING, mainly emphasizes the practical aspects of navigating a vessel in restricted waters, using both traditional and electronic methods. The closely related problems of finding the course & distance between one known point and another, and using The Sailings, are also discussed. P ART 3, CELESTIAL NA VIGA TION, reflects the renewed interest in the age old art and science of navigation by the stars, planets, moon and sun. The update recognizes the trend to over rely on GPS and electronic navigation by offering the tried and true alternative method in the event of electronic failures. P ART 4, INERTIAL NA VIGA TION, is often referred to as a sophisticated dead reckoning method. This section starts off with a discussion of gyroscopes and accelerome- ters. P ART 5, RF NA VIGA TION TECHNIQUES, explains the nature of radio waves and electronic navigation sys- tems. Chapters deal with several electronic methods of nav- igation--satellite, Loran, and Radar, with special emphasis on satellite navigation systems. PART 6, ALTERNATIVE NAVIGATION TECH- NIQUES, addresses the topic of bathymetric navigation. This comes in direct response to several Bowditch survey responses received by NGA. PART 7, NA VIGA TIONAL SAFETY , discusses recent developments in management of navigational resources, the changing role of the navigator, distress and safety communications, procedures for emergency naviga- tion, and the increasingly complex web of navigation regu- lations. PART 8, ICE AND POLAR NAVIGATION, in the Arctic is of renewed interest to the navigator as ice-free conditions allow shorter sailing distances. PART 9, OCEANOGRAPHY, has been updated to reflect the latest science and terminology. PART 10, MARINE METEOROLOGY, incorporates updated weather information and many new graphics.
