meridianfwd
Reckon position along meridian
Syntax
phi2 = meridianfwd(phi1,s,ellipsoid)
Description
phi2 = meridianfwd(phi1,s,ellipsoid)
determines the geodetic latitude
phi2
reached by starting at geodetic latitude
phi1
and traveling distance s
north (positive
s
) or south (negative s
) along a meridian on
the specified ellipsoid
. ellipsoid
is a referenceSphere
, referenceEllipsoid
, or oblateSpheroid
object, or a vector of the form [semimajor_axis
eccentricity]
. Latitudes phi1
and
phi2
are in radians, and s
has the same units
as the semimajor axis of the ellipsoid.
