Currently the lasers.htm doc is pretty useless as we have abandoned using Gauss & Kruger and the fixes meaningless in the current context. AndyW

<h1>Geographical fixed points on Loser</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The coordinate system used by the Austrian Kataster is called the
|
|
Gauß + Krüger Landeskoordinatensystem, which is supposedly
|
|
identical to the widely used Universal Transverse Mercator system (Gauß
|
|
analysed the projection in 1822 and Krüger published formulae to
|
|
translate to/from Lat/Long in 1912). In our area, this is UTM zone 31. At
|
|
least, this was our belief, but we don't seem to be getting perfect agreement
|
|
between UTM/31 figures from GPS and the G&K coordinates of fixed
|
|
points... This is probably because the bulk of Austria is in UTM zone 33
|
|
which you will see if you use a GPS, which will give coordinates in zone 33T.
|
|
Hmmmm.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Within this system, there are a number of triangulation points surveyed
|
|
purely for the purpose of locating caves: these are the
|
|
Katastertriangulierungspunkte, or KT points. A point to watch when reading the
|
|
Austrian literature is that the numbers labelled X and Y are the opposite way
|
|
round from what seems normal to most people, ie. X is the northing and Y is the
|
|
easting. The X coordinate, when quoted in full, is actually the distance in
|
|
metres north of the equator, but usually the leading two digits are omitted, to
|
|
give the same number of digits in the two coordinates. When the two extra
|
|
digits are quoted, then the coordinates are not the same length, which can
|
|
cause confusion if you're used to British National Grid references (where the
|
|
east and west coordinates are run together as if a single number).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Within our area, a number of derivative points were surveyed (with a laser
|
|
rangefinder/theodolite) near to various caves. This work was done in two
|
|
sessions, in summer 1987 (with CUCC) and in 199x (with ArGe?). The points are
|
|
marked with spits in the rock, and originally with some form of flagging tape.
|
|
However, those which aren't right next to well-known caves are now proving
|
|
quite hard to find in the field, at least partly owing to some very poor
|
|
sketching of their locations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For these derived points, the main number is just a sequence number. The
|
|
ones which were derived via an intermediate derived point (rather than
|
|
directly from KT points) have a prefix indicating the point from which they
|
|
were derived. Hence, for example, point 7/9 on the 201 path near
|
|
Elchhöhle, was the ninth derived point, and was found by theodoliting
|
|
and rangefinding from point 7, on the Bräuning Nase. This numbering
|
|
makes it easier, if one point is found to be in error, to work out which ones
|
|
were derived from it and will therefore also be wrong.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As far as we are aware, all of these points which we have visited are
|
|
correct, with the exception of 7/11 on the col (ie. the most useful point,
|
|
nearest Top Camp), which seems to be out by an angular error of 25 or 26°
|
|
from the Nase point. In the table, point 14/16 is also noted as possibly
|
|
being dodgy, but we have no real indication of why.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Expo (and indeed, the kataster) has now moved over to using the same system as
|
|
the rest of the world, ie. UTM based on the WGS84 datum. So it is unfortunate that
|
|
the points in the table below haven't been translated (and neitehr, it seems have
|
|
the ones in the survex files). Various people at various times have located the points
|
|
with GPS, and those fixes I've found are also included here in UTM zone 33T form.</p>

<p><img src="../../../icons/roadwk.png" class="icon" alt="" />A description of our own
|
|
surface surveys in the area is under construction, and should eventually
|
|
include details of how to find these laserfound points and other fixed
|
|
points. Currently, locations of caves in the kataster may be quoted as these
|
|
coordinates, or as Latitude/Longitude derived from the Austrian Alpine Club
|
|
(OAV) map sheet 15/1, which does not have a grid. Trying to get all these
|
|
locations into a single coordinate system is a priority, but will involve
|
|
quite a lot of unglamorous surface surveying, so don't hold your breath...</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In some Austrian literature, the easting quoted is in a system labelled
|
|
BMN. The Easting grid line +36000 (Gauß + Krüger, M31) is the
|
|
same as BMN 486000, and translation appears to be a matter of simple
|
|
addition or subtraction, though it may prove to be more complex than this
|
|
over a large enough area, as already indicated by GPS work...</p>
