Plotting of the Sea Surface Pattern in the Strait of Gibraltar from Oblique Aerial Photos.

Abstract

Part of the data gathered in connection with research being done by Mr. Roberto Frassetto is a series of oblique serial photos of the sea. For his purpose, their interest lies in certain surface patterns that can be seen. In order to study these in connection with other known data, it was necessary to plot these patterns on a map of the area, preliminary to attempting to assay the correlations that may exist. At Mr. Frassetto's request, the author has written the following description of the process by which this was done, shown its trigonometric basis, and made new drawings by way of illustration.
