The article Transverse Mercator projection restricts itself to general features of the projection. This article describes in detail one of the (two) implementations developed by Louis Krüger in 1912;[1] that expressed as a power series in the longitude difference from the central meridian. These series were recalculated by Lee in 1946,[2] by Redfearn in 1948,[3] and by Thomas in 1952.[4][5] They are often referred to as the Redfearn series, or the Thomas series. This implementation is of great importance since it is widely used in the U.S. State Plane Coordinate System,[5] in national (Britain,[6] Ireland[7] and many others) and also international[8] mapping systems, including the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system (UTM).[9][10] They are also incorporated into the Geotrans coordinate converter made available by the United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.[11] When paired with a suitable geodetic datum, the series deliver high accuracy in zones less than a few degrees in east-west extent.

To safe the long run, there are quite a few funding options, one out of which is investing in new launch apartment property. In case you are planning to make investment in Singapore condominiums to safeguard your future, then now we have provide you with sure pros & cons of making funding in the apartment property for your help. Read these pros and cons before you resolve to make the funding at Duo Residences , Thomson View , or different condos.

In the end, New Hyde Park residents obtained their want to preserve the historical spot, and McDonald's had no other option but to revive the property to its former glory. Clara Kirk, who runs two ladies's shelters in Englewood, instructed DNAinfo the price of growing a property into something greater than a backyard or expanded yard might be a problem. The Mayor's officer informed HuffPost that under Chicago's Large Heaps program, candidates would wish to own a property for a minimum of five years before selling.

Property investors may be typically categorized into 2 broad classes. These investing with a give attention to rental yield and those investing with a concentrate on capital beneficial properties. Seasoned investors tend to favor accomplished properties as it will probably instantly generate cash move when it comes to rental collections. But when your focus is on capital good points, new launches are inclined to have an important appreciation in worth by the time it HIGH. When a neighborhood developer launched a property in the east in mid-2011, as a substitute of using the standard trade apply minidvd.nl of balloting for the sequence to select a flat, their marketing agent requested interested buyers to line up in front of the gross sales gallery.

After close to 1 / 4-century of doing enterprise at the Denton House in New Hyde Park, although, McDonald's appears to be getting alongside simply high quality with the area people, and residents who originally had an issue with the franchise being there have made the correct changes to get by. As a part of the Inexperienced and Wholesome Chicago Neighborhoods initiative approved by the Chicago Plan Fee Thursday, the specific Giant Tons pilot program will allow qualifying residents and nonprofits to buy metropolis-owned vacant lots for $1 in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Facet. For years, $1 lot programs have cropped up in different cities around the nation. The principles and necessities range, but what they all have in frequent is the next-to-nothing worth.


Preliminaries I: datum and ellipsoid parameters

The series must be used with a geodetic datum which specifies the position, orientation and shape of a Reference ellipsoid. Although the projection formulae depend only on the shape parameters of the reference ellipsoid the full set of datum parameters is necessary to link the projection coordinates to true positions in three dimensional space. The datums and reference ellipsoids associated with particular implementations of the Redfearn formulae are listed below. A comprehensive list of important ellipsoids is given in the article on the Figure of the Earth.

Template:SpaceIn specifying ellipsoids it is normal to give the semi-major axis (equatorial axis), , along with either the inverse flattening, , or the semi-minor axis (polar axis), , or sometimes both. The series presented below use the eccentricity, , in preference to the flattening, . In addition they use the parameters , called the third flattening, and , the second eccentricity. There are only two independent shape parameters and there are many relations between them: in particular

The projection formulae also involve , the radius of curvature of the meridian (at latitude ), and , the radius of curvature in the prime vertical. (The prime vertical is the vertical plane orthogonal to the meridian plane at a point on the ellipsoid). The radii of curvature are defined as follows:

In addition the functions and are defined as:

For compactness it is normal to introduce the following abbreviations:


Preliminaries II: meridian distance

Meridian distance

The article on Meridian arc describes several methods of computing , the meridian distance from the equator to a point at latitude  : the expressions given below are those used in the 'actual implementation of the Transverse Mercator projection by the OSGB.[6] The truncation error is less than 0.1mm so the series is certainly accurate to within 1mm, the design tolerance of the OSGB implementation.

where the coefficients are given to order (order ) by

The meridian distance from equator to pole is

The form of the series specified for UTM is a variant of the above exhibiting higher order terms with a truncation error of 0.03mm.


Inverse meridian distance

Neither the OSGB nor the UTM implementations define an inverse series for the meridian distance; instead they use an iterative scheme. For a given meridian distance first set and then iterate using

until mm.

Template:SpaceThe inversion can be effected by a series, presented here for later reference. For a given meridian distance, , define the rectifying latitude by

The geodetic latitude corresponding to is (Snyder[5] page 17):

where, to ,


An outline of the method

The normal aspect of the Mercator projection of a sphere of radius is described by the equations

where , the isometric latitude, is given by

On the ellipsoid the isometric latitude becomes

By construction, the projection from the geodetic coordinates (,) to the coordinates (,) is conformal. If the coordinates (,) are used to define a point in the complex plane, then any analytic function will define another conformal projection. Kruger's method involves seeking the specific which generates a uniform scale along the central meridian, . He achieved this by investigating a Taylor series approximation with the projection coordinates given by:

where the real part of must be proportional to the meridian distance function . The (complex) coefficients depend on derivatives of which can be reduced to derivatives of with respect to , (not ). The derivatives are straightforward to evaluate in principle but the expressions become very involved at high orders because of the complicated relation between and . Separation of real and imaginary parts gives the series for and and further derivatives give the scale and convergence factors.


The series in detail

This section presents the eighth order series as published by Redfearn[3] (but with and interchanged and the longitude difference from the central meridian denoted by instead of ). Equivalent eighth order series, with different notations, can be found in Snyder[5] (pages 60–64) and at many web sites such as that for the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.[6]

Template:SpaceThe direct series are developed in terms of the longitude difference from the central meridian, expressed in radians: the inverse series are developed in terms of the ratio . The projection is normally restricted to narrow zones (in longitude) so that both of the expansion parameters are typically less than about 0.1, guaranteeing rapid convergence. For example in each UTM zone these expansion parameters are less than 0.053 and for the British national grid (NGGB) they are less than 0.09. All of the direct series giving , , scale , convergence are functions of both latitude and longitude and the parameters of the ellipsoid: all inverse series giving , , , are functions of both and and the parameters of the ellipsoid.

Direct series

In the following series is the difference of the longitude of an arbitrary point and the longitude of the chosen central meridian: is in radians and is positive east of the central meridian. The W coefficients are functions of listed below. The series for reduces to the scaled meridian distance when .


Inverse series

The inverse series involve a further construct: the footpoint latitude. Given a point on the projection the footpoint is defined as the point on the central meridian with coordinates . Since the scale on the central meridian is the meridian distance from the equator to the footpoint is equal to . The corresponding footpoint latitude, , is calculated by iteration or the inverse meridian distance series as described above.

Denoting functions evaluated at by a subscript '1', the inverse series are:


Point scale and convergence

The point scale is independent of direction for a conformal transformation. It may be calculated in terms of geographic or projection coordinates. Note that the series for reduce to when either or . The convergence may also be calculated (in radians) in terms of geographic or projection coordinates:

The coefficients for all series


Accuracy of the series

The exact solution of Lee-Thompson,[12] implemented by Karney (2011),[13] is of great value in assessing the accuracy of the truncated Redfearn series. It confirms that the truncation error of the (eighth order) Redfearn series is less than 1 mm out to a longitude difference of 3 degrees, corresponding to a distance of 334 km from the central meridian at the equator but a mere 35 km at the northern limit of an UTM zone.

Template:SpaceThe Redfearn series become much worse as the zone widens. Karney discusses Greenland as an instructive example. The long thin landmass is centred on 42W and, at its broadest point, is no more than 750 km from that meridian whilst the span in longitude reaches almost 50 degrees. The Redfearn series attain a maximum error of 1 kilometre.

Coordinates, grids, eastings and northings

The projection coordinates as defined above are Cartesian coordinates such that the central meridian corresponds to and the equator corresponds . Both x and y are defined for all values of and (although tends to (±) infinity as tends to ±90° or ±π/2 radians). The projection does not define a grid: the grid is an independent construct which could be defined arbitrarily. In practice the national implementations, and UTM, use grids aligned with the Cartesian axes of the projection but they are of finite extent, with origins which need not coincide with the origin of the projection coordinates where the central meridian intersects the equator. (Note that in the overlap regions of the UTM zones at neighbouring grids are inclined with respect to each other).

Template:SpaceThe true grid origin is always taken on the central meridian so that grid coordinates will be negative west of the central meridian. To avoid such negative grid coordinates standard practice defines a false origin to the west (and possibly north or south) of the grid origin: the coordinates relative to the false origin define Eastings and Northings which will always be positive. The false Easting, , is the distance of the true grid origin east of the false origin. The false Northing, , is the distance of the true grid origin north of the false origin. If the true origin of the grid is at latitude on the central meridian and the scale factor the central meridian is then these definitions give Eastings and Northings by:

The inverse series are calculated from the Redfearn series with replaced by and the footpoint latitude calculated by inversion of

The terms Eastings and Northings are misnomers. Grid lines of the transverse projection, other than the axes and do not run north-south or east-west as defined by parallels and meridians. This is evident from the global projections in Transverse Mercator projection. Near the central meridian the differences are small but measurable. The difference between the north-south grid lines and the true meridians is the angle of convergence.

Implementations

The implementations give below are examples of the use of the Redfearn series. The defining documents in various countries differ slightly in notation and, more importantly, in the neglect of some of the small terms. The analysis of small terms depends on the latitude and longitude ranges in the various grids. There are also slight differences in the formulae utilised for meridian distance: one extra term is sometimes added to the formula specified above but such a term is less than 0.1mm.

OSGB

The implementation of the transverse Mercator projection in Great Britain is fully described in the OSGB document A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain, Appendices A.1, A.2 and C.[6]

datum: OSGB36
ellipsoid: Airy 1830
major axis: 6 377 563.396
minor axis: 6 356 256.909
central meridian longitude: 2°W
central meridian scale factor : 0.9996012717
projection origin: 2°W and 0°N
true grid origin: 2°W and 49°N
false easting of true grid origin, E0 (metres): 400,000
false northing of true grid origin, N0 (metres): -100,000
E = E0 + x = 400000 + x
N = N0 + y -k0*m(49°)= y - 5527063

The extent of the grid is 300 km to the east and 400 km to the west of the central meridian and 1300 km north from the false origin, (OSGB[6] Section 7.1), but with the exclusion of parts of Northern Ireland, Eire and France. A grid reference is denoted by the pair (E,N) where E ranges from slightly over zero to 800000m and N ranges from zero to 1300000m. To reduce the number of figures needed to give a grid reference, the grid is divided into 100 km squares, which each have a two-letter code. National Grid positions can be given with this code followed by an easting and a northing both in the range 0 and 99999m.

Template:SpaceThe projection formulae differ slightly from the Redfearn formulae presented here. They have been simplified by neglect of most terms of seventh and eighth order in or : the only exception is seventh order term in the series for in terms of . This simplification is based on the examination of the Redfearn terms over the actual extent of the grid. The only other differences are (a) the absorption of the central scale factor into the radii of curvature and meridian distance, (b) the replacement of the parameter by the parameter (defined above).

The OSGB manual[6] includes a discussion of the Helmert transformations which are required to link geodetic coordinates on Airy 1830 ellipsoid and on WGS84.

UTM

The article on the Universal Transverse Mercator projection gives a general survey, but the full specification is defined in U.S. Defence Mapping Agency Technical Manuals TM8358.1[9] and TM8358.2.[10] This section provides details for zone 30 as another example of the Redfearn formulae (usually termed Thomas formulae in the United States.)

ellipsoid: International 1924 (a.k.a. Hayford 1909)
major axis: 6 378 388.000
minor axis: 6 356 911.946
central meridian longitude: 3°W
projection origin: 3°W and 0°N
central meridian scale factor: 0.9996
true grid origin: 3°W and 0°N
false easting of true grid origin, E0: 500,000
E = E0 + x = 500000 + x
northern hemisphere false northing of true grid origin N0: 0
northern hemisphere: N = N0 + y = y
southern hemisphere false northing of true grid origin N0: 10,000,000
southern hemisphere: N = N0 + y = 10,000,000 + y

The series adopted for the meridian distance incorporates terms of fifth order in but the manual states that these are less than 0.03 mm (TM8358.2[10] Chapter 2). The projection formulae use, , the second eccentrity (defined above) instead of . The grid reference schemes are defined in the article Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system. The accuracy claimed for the UTM projections is 10 cm in grid coordinates and 0.001 arc seconds for geodetic coordinates.

Ireland

The transverse Mercator projection in Eire and Northern Ireland (an international implementation spanning one country and part of another) is currently implemented in two ways:

Irish grid reference system

datum: Ireland 1965
ellipsoid: Airy 1830 modified
major axis: 6 377 340.189
minor axis: 6 356 034.447
central meridian scale factor: 1.000035
true origin: 8°W and 53.5°N
false easting of true grid origin, E0: 200,000
false northing of true grid origin, N0: 250,000

The Irish grid uses the OSGB projection formulae.

Irish Transverse Mercator

datum: Ireland 1965
ellipsoid: GRS80
major axis: ?
minor axis: ?
central meridian scale factor: 0.999820
true origin: 8°W and 53.5°N
false easting of true grid origin, E0: 600,000
false northing of true grid origin, N0: 750,000

This is an interesting example of the transition between use of a traditional ellipsoid and a modern global ellipsoid. The adoption of radically different false origins helps to prevent confusion between the two systems.
