Class Name: PS Location 2D

Superclass - Location 2D

Definition

A coordinate within the Polar Stereographic (PS) 2D Spatial Reference Frame (SRF).

The Polar Stereographic projection-based Spatial Reference Frame is a planar, conformal projection placed tangent to the Object Reference Model/ Earth Reference Model (ORM/ERM) at either of the two poles. When secant, intersection with the ORM/ERM occurs along a parallel of latitude; alternatively this can be expressed as a "central scale factor". The locations of the poles are defined by the ORM/ERM.

When used to define a 2D coordinate system, the resulting X and Y axes are measured in meters (rather than arc degrees), with the origin located at the parametrically specified pole. The Y axis lies along (and is positive along) a parametrically defined meridian; the X axis is perpendicular to the Y axis and is oriented to form a 2D right-handed coordinate system.

See the SEDRIS Spatial Reference Model (SRM) for additional details.
