Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1. Given Input Coordinates:
  • Latitude: 40.7128°
  • Longitude: -74.006°
2. Model & Ellipsoid Reference:WGS-84 / Earth Sphere R = 6,371 km
3. Governing Geodesic Formula:Transverse Mercator Projection (UTM WGS-84)
4. Variable Substitution:Central Meridian Zone 18
5. Interpretation & Practical Application:

Converted geographic coordinates to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) metric coordinates.

Mathematical Formula

Transverse Mercator conformal projection onto WGS-84 ellipsoid

Overview & Explanation

Projects spherical coordinates onto 60 longitudinal UTM zones with metric Easting and Northing values.

How It Works

  • Determines UTM zone 1-60 and applies Transverse Mercator formulas.

Practical Applications

  • Land surveying.
  • Topographic mapping.
  • Military navigation.

Worked Example: San Francisco (37.7749°, -122.4194°)

Convert SF coordinates to UTM.
