Calculation of Latitude and Longitude for Points on Perimeter of a Circle on a Sphere
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
This document describes the calculation of the Earth-Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF) coordinates for points lying on the perimeter of a circle. Here, the perimeter of the circle lies on the surface of the sphere and the center of the planar circle is below the surface. These coordinates are converted to latitude and longitude for mapping fields on the surface of the earth.
