WHAT DOES POLYCONIC PROJECTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polyconic projection

Polyconic projection

Polyconic can refer either to a class of map projections or to a specific projection known less ambiguously as the American Polyconic. Polyconic as a class refers to those projections whose parallels are all non-concentric circular arcs, except for a straight equator, and the centers of these circles lie along a central axis. This description applies to projections in equatorial aspect. As a specific projection, the American Polyconic is conceptualized as "rolling" a cone tangent to the Earth at all parallels of latitude, instead of a single cone as in a normal conic projection. Each parallel is a circular arc of true scale. The scale is also true on the central meridian of the projection. The projection was in common use by many map-making agencies of the United States from the time of its proposal by Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler in 1825 until the middle of the 20th century. The projection is defined by: where is the longitude of the point to be projected; is the latitude of the point to be projected; is the longitude of the central meridian, and is the latitude chosen to be the origin at.

Definition of polyconic projection in the English dictionary

The definition of polyconic projection in the dictionary is a type of conic projection in which the parallels are not concentric and all meridians except the central one are curved lines. It is neither equal-area nor conformal, but is suitable for maps of areas or countries of great longitudinal extent.
