Geodetic to Geocentric Latitude
The transition from geodetic latitude to geocentric latitude.
Description
Block Geodetic to Geocentric Latitude calculates the geocentric latitude and the distance from the centre of the planet to its centre of gravity based on the geodetic latitude and altitude using the formulas:
where
-
- is the radius of curvature of the first vertical;
-
- eccentricity;
-
- ellipsoid compression.
Ports
Parameters
Planet model - planet
Earth (WGS84) (by default) | Custom
Geodetic parameters of the planet. For the Earth the system WGS 84 is used.
Dependencies
Parameters Flattening and Equatorial radius of planet are available only when Custom option is selected.
Flattening - compression
1/298.257223563 (by default) | scalar
Compression of the planet ellipsoid.
Dependencies
To use this parameter, set the Planet model parameters to Custom.
Equatorial radius of planet - equatorial radius of planet
6378137.0 (By default) | scalar.
