7-2 Special mapping equations 219
Fig. 7.4. Mapping the sphere to a tangential plane: oblique aspect, equal area mapping. Point-of-contact:
meta-North Pole at Perth (Λ 0 = −115
◦ 52
, Φ 0 = −31
◦ 57
).
Figure 7.4 finishes the discussion of the mappings “sphere to tangential plane”. In the following
chapter, let us have a closer look at the mapping “ellipsoid-of-revolution to tangential plane”.
