meridianbaserad

Meridianbaserad is a Swedish term that translates to "meridian-based" in English. It refers to systems, measurements, or classifications that are organized or defined according to geographical meridians. Meridians are imaginary lines of longitude that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, representing specific degrees of east or west longitude.

In various contexts, "meridianbaserad" can denote methods of navigation where position is determined by observing the sun's meridian passage or by using instruments that rely on meridian lines. It can also be applied to geographical studies or mapping projects that divide areas or analyze phenomena based on their location relative to established meridians. For instance, a study might be "meridianbaserad" if it compares data collected along the 0-degree meridian (Prime Meridian) with data from other longitudinal lines.

The concept is fundamental to cartography and geodesy, where the precise definition and understanding of meridians are crucial for accurate spatial representation and analysis. In a more general sense, anything that uses meridians as its primary reference or organizational framework can be described as "meridianbaserad."
