Establishment of Geodetic Coordinate Systems - Geodesy: Introduction to Geodetic Datum and Geodetic Systems - page 379

geodetic and astronomical meridians are parallel to each other), explain the
geometric meaning of ʲ 2 , ʳ 3 , and provide the relationship between ʲ 2 , ʳ 3 , and

Euler angles.
3. Draw a geometric figure to derive the Bursa-Wolf model for transformations
between different geodetic Cartesian coordinate systems.
4. Explain how to solve the transformation parameters of different geodetic Car-
tesian coordinate systems using the Bursa-Wolf model.
5. What is the geodetic origin data and what is its relation to the ellipsoid
orientation?
6. What are the conditions of the ellipsoid orientation and how could these condi-
tions be satisfied?
7. Explain the concepts of a single astronomical position datum orientation and the
astronomical-geodetic orientation.
8. Account for the following concepts: the Earth's polar origin, the origin of
longitude, the polar coordinate system, the ideal TRS, the CTRS, and the
conventional terrestrial reference frame.
9. Illustrate the datum definition adopted by ITRFyy (where yy is the annual series
of this frame) at different dates.
