WHAT DOES HOMOLOSINE PROJECTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

homolosine projection

Goode homolosine projection

The Goode homolosine projection is a pseudocylindrical, equal-area, composite map projection used for world maps. Normally it is presented with multiple interruptions. Its equal-area property makes it useful for presenting spatial distribution of phenomena. The projection was developed in 1923 by John Paul Goode to provide an alternative to the Mercator projection for portraying global areal relationships. Goode offered variations of the interruption scheme for emphasizing the world’s land masses and the world’s oceans. Some variants include extensions that repeat regions in two different lobes of the interrupted map in order to show Greenland or eastern Russia undivided. The homolosine evolved from Goode’s 1916 experiments in interrupting the Mollweide projection. Because the Mollweide is sometimes called the "homolographic projection," Goode fused the two names "homolographic" and "sinusoidal" to create the name “homolosine”. Common in the 1960s, the Goode homolosine projection is often called an "orange-peel map" because of its resemblance to the flattened rind of a hand-peeled orange.

Definition of homolosine projection in the English dictionary

The definition of homolosine projection in the dictionary is a map projection of the world on which the oceans are distorted to allow for greater accuracy in representing the continents, combining the sinusoidal and equal-area projections.
