medium frequency (MF)
中频
See FREQUENCY: RADIO.
缩写“MF”。参见radio frequency(无线电频率)。
medusa

megacycle
兆周
One million CYCLES; one thousand KILOCY­CLES. The term is often used incorrectly as the equivalent of one million CYCLES PER SECOND.
一百万周;一千千周。此术语常错误地用于替代一百万周/秒。
megahertz
兆赫
One million HERTZ; one thousand KILO­HERTZ. The term is used as the equivalent of one million CYCLES PER SECOND.
指一百万赫;一千千赫。此术语等值于100万周/秒。
melting point
熔点
Temperature of change from the solid to the liquid phase of a substance. It is a function of pressure.

Mercator: transverse
横轴墨卡托投影
See PROJECTION: TRANSVERSE MERCA­TOR.
一种圆柱形投影,与方位转动90°的(横轴)正则墨卡托投影原则上相等。在该投影中,中央经线由一条直线表示,并与正则墨卡托投影上表示赤道的线相合。除了中央经线之外的地理经线和除了赤道(如果表示的话)之外的地理纬线均不是直线。它是一种正形投影。亦称transverse cylindri... more

Mercator chart
墨卡托投影地图
See CHART.
采用墨卡托投影的地图,这种地图通常用于航海目的。在墨卡托投影地图中,恒向线总是直线。
Mercator projection
墨卡托投影
See PROJECTION.
一种圆柱型正形投影。其赤道由与实地相等的一条直线表示;其地理经线由与赤道相垂直的一系列平行直线表示;这些经线在赤道上的间距都相等。其地理纬线由与表示经线的线族相垂直的第二套直线系统表示,并且与赤道相平行。因此从数学分析可得到正形性。投影中各点处的长度比向任何方向都相等,纬线的间距... more
一种圆柱型正形投影。其赤道由与实地相等的一条直线表示;其地理经线由与赤道相垂直的一系列平行直线表示;这些经线在赤道上的间距都相等。其地理纬线由与表示经线的线族相垂直的第二套直线系统表示,并且与赤道相平行。因此从数学分析可得到正形性。投影中各点处的长度比向任何方向都相等,纬线的间距随着距赤道距离增加而增加。由于等角航线被表示成直线并且可直接测定方向,所以该投影在航海中广为应用。
Mercator sailing
墨卡托航法
See SAILING.
在墨卡托海图上标绘航线的一种数学方法。这种航行类似于平面航法,但在纬差和东西距不同的地点需分别利用对应的子午线弧长差和不同的经差。
mercurial (or mercury) barometer
水银气压表
See BAROMETER.
利用大气压力与水银柱施加的压力平衡测量大气压强的气压计。
meridian
子午圈

A north-south reference line, particularly a GREAT CIRCLE through the GEOGRAPHICAL POLES of the EARTH, from which LONGITUDES (or DEPARTURES) and AZI­MUTHS are reckoned; or a plane normal to the GEOID or SPHEROID defining such a line. The term usually refers to the UPPER BRANCH.
特指通过地球地理极的大圈形成的南北基准线,由此线计算经度(或东西距)和方位角;或指垂直于大地水准面或旋转椭球的水平面所定义的这样的线。此术语通常指上半子午圈(upper branch)。

A line on the surface of the EARTH connecting points having the same ASTRONOMICAL LONGITUDE. Because the DEFLECTION OF THE VERTICAL is not the same at all points, an astronomical meridian is an irregular line, not lying in a single plane. Also called terrestrial meridian.
NULL
meridian: celestial
天球子午圈,赤经圈
A GREAT CIRCLE of the CELESTIAL SPHERE through the CELESTIAL POLES and the ZENITH. The expression usually refers to the UPPER BRANCH.
通过天体天极和天顶的大圆。该术语通常指上半子午圈(Upper branch)。
meridian: central
中央子午线
See MERIDIAN: INITIAL.
