Hatano Asymmetrical Equal Area

proj-string: +proj=hatano

Parameters

Note

All parameters for the projection are optional.

+lon_0=<value>

Longitude of projection center.

Defaults to 0.0.

Note

The default convention is to interpret this value as decimal degrees. To specify radians instead, follow the value with the "r" character.

Example: +lon_0=1.570796r

See Projection Units for more information.

+R=<value>

Radius of the sphere, given in meters. If used in conjunction with +ellps, +R takes precedence.

See Ellipsoid size parameters for more information.

+x_0=<value>

False easting.

Defaults to 0.0.

+y_0=<value>

False northing.

Defaults to 0.0.

Mathematical Definition

Forward

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}x &= 0.85\lambda \cos \theta\\y &= C_y \sin \theta\\P(\theta) &= 2\theta + \sin 2\theta - C_p \sin \phi\\P'(\theta) &= 2(1 + \cos 2\theta)\\\theta_0 &= 2\phi\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Condition

\(C_y\)

\(C_p\)

For \(\phi > 0\)

1.75859

2.67595

For \(\phi < 0\)

1.93052

2.43763

For \(\phi = 0\), \(y \leftarrow 0\), and \(x \leftarrow 0.85\lambda\).
