Abstract
The auxiliary latitudes are essential tools in cartography. This paper summarizes methods for converting between them with an emphasis on providing full double-precision accuracy. This includes series expansions in the third flattening, where the truncation error is precisely measured and where estimates of the radii of convergence are given. Also new formulas are given for computing the rectifying and authalic latitudes with minimal roundoff error.
期刊介绍:
Survey Review is an international journal that has been published since 1931, until recently under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE). The journal is now published for Survey Review Ltd and brings together research, theory and practice of positioning and measurement, engineering surveying, cadastre and land management, and spatial information management.
All papers are peer reviewed and are drawn from an international community, including government, private industry and academia. Survey Review is invaluable to practitioners, academics, researchers and students who are anxious to maintain their currency of knowledge in a rapidly developing field.
