• The pressure difference between two consecutive isobars per unit distance tells us about:
• Dew point can be defined as:
• “Swell” (mar de fondo):
• Sailing in the Balearics, the wind from the Northwest is called:
• The wind component arising only from the pressure gradient between two air masses is called:
• By height, cirrus clouds are:
• What radio device shows the outline of the coast, other ships and objects at sea level?
• On notices to mariners publications:
• What is the “Datum” in electronic navigation?
• Universal Time is:
• On the definition of the equator on the terrestrial sphere, mark the INCORRECT statement.
• On leeway and drift, choose the INCORRECT statement.
• The course made good is, in general:
• The AIS system:
• By the definition of a meridian:
• With departure point A (l= 35º 45´N; L= 006º 30´W) and landfall point B (l= 36º 04’N; L= 004º 55’W), which answer is closest to the direct course and distance between them?
• At l= 36º 00' N; L= 005º 30' W, we sail on true course 090º for a distance of 100'. Calculate the arrival position.
• Find your simultaneous position when on the opposition line of Cape Trafalgar and Cape Spartel lighthouses while the end of Barbate port breakwater bears 040º true:
• On Ra = 251º at 12 knots (deviation 2.0º E, variation 1.0º W), Da Punta Cires = 159º at 11:00 and radar distance to Isla de Tarifa = 3 miles at 11:20. Find your true position at 11:20:
• At 15:00, 5 miles SE true of Punta Europa at Vm = 8 knots in a current Rc = N39E at Ihc = 2 knots (variation 3º W, deviation 2º E), find the compass course to pass 4 miles off Punta Cires and your speed made good:
• While on the leading line of Punta Carnero and Punta Europa lighthouses with Punta Almina lighthouse bearing 194º true, find your simultaneous position:
