Penn State Surveying Program 1 Ellipsoid Defining Parameters

DEFINING PARAMETERS FOR SELECTED ELLIPSOIDS

Name GRS 80 WGS 84 CLARKE 1866
a= 6,378,137.0 6,378,137.0 6,378,206.4
1/f = ### 298.257223563 294.97870

Enter in the name exactly as it appears on the following computation sheets. The software will
lookup and insert the ellipsoidal values. Important to note that the U.S. State Plane Coordinate
System of 1983 using the GRS 80 ellipsoid, and that the UTM projection is usually uses WGS
84.

International user can add ellipsoid definitions in columns E, F, ..., Z. Remember to unprotect
the sheet under the tools menu before attempting to add an ellipsoid.

This worksheet computes coordinates for the Oblique Mercator projection. Not
all conditions are handled by this spreadsheet. Feel free to modify it to your
satisfaction. Equations for this procedure can be found in Map Projection
Manual – A Working Manual by James P. Snyder. The axis az cell contains the
angle of the azimuth east of north for the central line as it passes through the
center of the map (fc, lc). For the SPCS Alaska Zone 5001 enter a value of the
arctan(-3/4) or -36°52’11.631525”. Due to the fact that the SPCS system uses this
form of the equations, the more common usage of providing the geodetic
coordinates of two points on the central line was not implemented. For form of
the equations can be seen in the Snyder text.

You can unhide rows and columns to see all the intermediate computations.
