meridianbasert

Meridianbasert is a Norwegian adjective used to describe something that is based on or organized around meridians, the longitudinal lines that run from the North to the South pole. The term can appear in cartography, geodesy, and navigation to indicate that a coordinate system, map grid, or analytical method uses meridians as its primary reference.

In geographic contexts, a meridianbasert approach typically centers on a specific meridian, such as the prime meridian, and aligns measurements, directions, or grids with lines of longitude rather than with parallels or other reference schemes. This can influence how distances are calculated, how positions are specified, and how time zones are determined.

The term also occurs in non-geographic domains as a descriptive modifier for methods or designs that metaphorically rely on a central axis or longitudinal framework. In such cases the label is often pragmatic rather than a formal technical standard. In medical or wellness discourses, you may encounter meridianbasert used to refer to therapies said to follow traditional meridians; these claims are controversial and not universally accepted within scientific communities.

Etymology: derived from meridian and basert (based). The usage of meridianbasert is variable and context-dependent, and there is no single universal definition across fields.
