transverse mercator projection
1Transverse Mercator projection — The transverse Mercator projection is an adaptation of the Mercator projection. Both projections are cylindrical and conformal. However, in the transverse Mercator, the cylinder is rotated 90° (transverse) relative to the equator so that the… …
2Mercator projection — of the world between 82°S and 82°N. Mercator world …
3transverse Mercator map projection — A conformal cylindrical map projection, which is in principle equivalent to the regular Mercator map projection turned (transversed) 90° in azimuth. In this projection, the central meridian is represented by a straight line, corresponding to the… …
4Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system — The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system is a grid based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. It is used to identify locations on the earth, but differs from the traditional method of latitude and longitude …
5Israeli Transverse Mercator — ( he. רשת ישראל החדשה; ITM) is the new geographic coordinate system for Israel. The name is derived from the Transverse Mercator projection it uses and the fact that it is optimized for Israel. ITM has replaced the old coordinate system ICS. This …
6Irish Transverse Mercator — (ITM), is the new geographic coordinate system for Ireland. It was implemented jointly by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSI) and the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) in 2001. The name is derived from the Transverse Mercator projection …
7universal transverse Mercator’s grid — A military grid system in which a grid network is applied to the transverse Mercator projection of the zones of the earth’s surface, extending from the 80° N to the 80° S latitudes. The region is divided into sixty zones, each covering 6° of… …
8Modified Transverse Mercator coordinate system — The Modified Transverse Mercator (MTM) coordinate system is a metric grid based method of specifying locations, similar to the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system. MTM uses a Transverse Mercator projection with zones spaced 3° of… …
9universal transverse mercator grid — A grid coordinate system based on the transverse mercator projection, applied to maps of the Earth …
10Universal Transverse Mercator — a system for indicating locations on the Earth s surface based on ground distances. Locations are designated in terms of distances in metres east of the centre of a UTM zone and north (or south) of the equator. The earth is divided into sixty… …
