Map Projections: Cartographic Information Systems
The standard Mollweide projection of the sphere S2R which is of type equiareal
pseudo-cylindrical is generalized to the biaxial ellipsoid E2A1,A2. Within the
class of pseudo-cylindrical mapping equations (G.8) of E2A1,A2 (semi-major axis

Going from Mollweide's projection (figure 2.14a), which encloses the world within
an ellipse, to Sanson's sinusoidal projection (figure 2.14c) with its sharply
converging meridians, the E-W compression in the high latitudes increases. Yet
