Bottomley Projection
The Bottomley map projection is a pseudoconical equal area map projection defined as: :x = \frac, \qquad y = \frac - \rho \cos E \, where :\rho = \frac - \varphi, \qquad E = \frac and ''φ'' is the latitude, ''λ'' is the longitude from the central meridian, and ''φ''1 is the given parallel of the projection which determines its shape, all in radians. The inverse projection is then given by: :\begin\varphi &= \frac - \rho \\ \lambda &=\frac \end where :\rho = \sqrt, \qquad E= \tan^\left(\frac\right). Parallels (i.e. lines of latitude) are concentric elliptical arcs of constant eccentricity equal to cos ''φ''1, centred on the north pole. On the central meridian, shapes are not distorted, but elsewhere they are. Different projections can be produced by altering the eccentricity of the arcs, making it vary between the sinusoidal projection and the Werner projection. For larger values of ''φ''1, it produces a heart shape. It was introduced by Henry Bottomley as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
