Computer Program Projecting Fictitious Longitude and Latitude Systems onto Standard Mercator Grids

Peter P. K. Wong, Christopher W. Gregory, David W. Handschumacher

Abstract

Abstract : A computer program has been written in Fortran language that plots fictitious latitudes and longitudes about an arbitrary polar system onto standard Mercator projections. The mathematical development of this program is presented along with a complete program description and program listing. Several example plots generated by the program are included to demonstrate its option characteristics.
