Optimization of Time Saving in Navigation Through an Area of Variable Flow
In planning routes between well-defined points of departure and arrival, both aircraft and ships can take into account forecast values of certain geophysical parameters so that the route chosen is in some sense optimized. For aircraft flying the North Atlantic, the methods used are described in the...
