An international conference held in Washington, D.C., in 1884 designated "the meridian passing through the centre of the transit instrument at the Observatory of Greenwich as the initial meridian for longitude".
It uses climatology and persistence to predict future intensity, including the current Julian day, current cyclone intensity, the cyclone's intensity 12 hours ago, the storm's initial latitude and longitude, as well as its zonal (east-west) and meridional (north-south) components of motion.
In particular, he identified the stage in which the sudden auroral brightenings are wide in longitude as initial brightening (IB; Fig. 1).
Specifically, it consists of three identical spacecrafts two of which are flying side-by-side at lower altitudes (roughly at 450 km initial altitude) separated in longitude by (1.4^circ), which allows for an instantaneous estimation of the East West gradient of the magnetic field.

If you imagine the two initial coordinates to be values for latitude and longitude, for example, then the Zeta Function returns the altitude for every point, forming a kind of mathematical landscape full of hills and valleys.
The octagonal copper plate is inscribed with Roman numerals, the longitude of Adlington, and John Legh's initials.
We constrained the fault plane location (latitude and longitude, to be within 0.5° of the initial value), depth (within 10 km) and dip angle (within 5°) for the recursive procedure, and we also slightly changed the initial value by a trial and error process.
The initial grid spanned all locations from 0 to 358 ^circ) in longitude and −90 to 90 in latitude, in 2 ^circ) steps.
