| Polar Stereographic Map Projection | ||
| The following elements comprise the Polar Stereographic Map Projection section: |
||
|
Straight Vertical Longitude from Pole, mandatory longitude to be oriented straight up from the North or South Pole. |
|
One of the following: |
||
| Standard Parallel, mandatory line of constant latitude at which the surface of the Earth and the plane or developable surface intersect. |
||
| Scale Factor at Projection Origin, mandatory a multiplier for reducing a distance obtained from a map by computation or scaling to the actual distance at the projection origin. |
||
| False Easting, mandatory the value added to all "x" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units. |
||
| False Northing, mandatory the value added to all "y" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units. |
