Summary
DescriptionEllipsoidal coordinates.svg |
English: Ellipsoidal coordinates as used in geodesy. For a point P not on the reference ellipsoid (semi-axes OA and OB) construct an auxiliary ellipsoid which is confocal (same foci F, F') with the reference ellipsoid: the necessary condition is that the product ae of semi-major axis and eccentricity is the same for both ellipsoids. Let u be the semi-minor (OD) of the auxiliary ellipsoid. Further let β be the reduced latitude of P on the auxiliary ellipsoid. The set(u,β,λ) define the ellipsoid coordinates. |
