Wide zone Transverse Mercator projection / [by] N. Stuifbergen. : Fs97-18/262E
A description is provided of the conversions of geodetic latitude and longitude into transverse Mercator grid co-ordinates, and vice-versa, for coverage of wide extent, with sub-millimetre accuracy tested up to 80 degrees from the central meridian. (160-degree zone-width). It is a useful as a tool to evaluate existing algorithms based on Taylor series expansions, which begin to degrade beyond the standard 6-degree zone-width of UTM. Mathematical formulae with derivations, numerical examples and Fortran code are included.
