Rotated/Tilted Mercator Projection (2011)

Published on 25 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 (…)
