Rotated/Tilted Mercator Projection (2011)
Article published on 25 September 2011
last modification on 26 September 2011

The rotated/tilted Mercator geometry is introduced. The associated computations are developed. These computations involve formulae for :
 the direct geometric transform,
 the reverse geometric transform,
 the quantities associated to Coriolis force,
 the map factor,
 the transformation of vectors (so-called "compass"),
 the transformation of meteorological equations.

Finally, coding aspects are shortly discussed.
