The arcs of circles method, which is constantly used for determining the position of a point or object at sea, is a new technique in so far as it is a method for delimiting the territorial sea. This technique was proposed by the United States delegation at the 1930 Conference for the codification of international law. Its purpose is to secure the application of the principle that the belt of territorial waters must follow the line of the coast. It is not obligatory by law ... 3, record 7, English, - arcs%20of%20circles%20method

La méthode des arcs de cercle, d'un usage constant pour fixer la position d'un point ou d'un objet en mer, est un procédé technique nouveau en tant que méthode de délimitation de la mer territoriale. Ce procédé a été proposé par la délégation des États-Unis à la Conférence de 1930 pour la codification du droit international. Son but est d'assurer l'application du principe que la ceinture des eaux territoriales doit suivre la ligne de la côte. Il n'a rien de juridiquement obligatoire.

Lowitz arcs are short arcs showing pale colours, which extend diagonally upward and downward from the parhelia to the 22°-halo. They are visible at just very few occasions. The halo is called Lowitz Arc because Thomas Lowitz was the first who observed and described these arcs in 1794 at St. Petersburg. 5, record 9, English, - arcs%20of%20Lowitz
Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The arcs of Lowitz are explained by refraction through the 60° prism of hexagonal plate ice crystals, oscillating as they descend. The principal axis of the plate must oscillate about the vertical by less than 30° to produce the pattern customarily called Lowitz arcs; larger oscillations lead to more complex arcs spreading far above and below the 22° parhelia and halo. 6, record 9, English, - arcs%20of%20Lowitz

Notice in the drawing routines, especially the arc routines, that familiarity with how the arc routine works is important. In the first arc statement, the command arc is executed and the first point is entered. The center option is chosen before the second point is entered. At this point, you should be able to decipher what is happening in the first nine statements of this function. Next, the arc number value is initialized and set. This value counts how many times you run through this routine. Each time you run through the routine, you create one first arc. The next statement calculates the arc length by calculating the distance between the start and end points of the first arc. Now that you have the arc number and the length of the arcs, you can calculate the overall length of the insulation. Notice the last statement of the routine. That is precisely what happens. In the while loop, the variable total is compared to the wall length. If the total variable is less than the wall length variable, the routine will be run again. Otherwise, the routine is ended. 2, record 15, English, - arc%20routine
