Class edu.sc.seis.TauP.SphericalCoords
edu.sc.seis.TauP.SphericalCoords
- public class SphericalCoords
Utility class for spherical coordinate (lat-lon) transformations. Given
lat, lon, lat, lon you can find the distance or azimuth and
given lat, lon, distance, azimuth you can find the lat lon of the resultant
point. Just uses spherical relations, no ellpticity correction is applied.

azimuth(double, double, double, double)
- Calculates azimuth between two lat lon pairs.
-
distance(double, double, double, double)
- Calculates angular distance between two lat lon pairs.
-
latFor(double, double, double, double)
- Calculates the latitude of a point a given distance along a given
azimuth from a starting lat lon.
-

- Calculates the longitude of a point a given distance along a given
azimuth from a starting lat lon.
-
main(String[])
-
-
rotate(double, double, double[], double)
- rotates a point about a pole by an angle.
-

- Find the rotation pole required to rotate the first lat lon pair to
the second.
SphericalCoords
public SphericalCoords()
distance
public static double distance(double latA,
double lonA,
double latB,
double lonB)
- Calculates angular distance between two lat lon pairs.
azimuth
public static double azimuth(double latA,
double lonA,
double latB,
double lonB)
- Calculates azimuth between two lat lon pairs.
rotationPole
public static double[] rotationPole(double latA,
double lonA,
double latB,
double lonB)
- Find the rotation pole required to rotate the first lat lon pair to
the second. Just does a cross product.
- Returns:

the pole.
rotate
public static double[] rotate(double latA,
double lonA,
double pole[],
double angleDeg)
- rotates a point about a pole by an angle.
- Parameters:
- pole - is a 3 element double array with X, Y and Z components of
the pole.
- Returns:
- s [lat, lon] in array.
latFor
public static double latFor(double latA,
double lonA,
double distance,
double azimuth)
- Calculates the latitude of a point a given distance along a given
azimuth from a starting lat lon.
lonFor
public static double lonFor(double latA,
double lonA,
double distance,
double azimuth)
- Calculates the longitude of a point a given distance along a given
azimuth from a starting lat lon.
main
public static void main(String args[])
