Azimuthal Equal Area (Polar Aspect) – Global Mapper

The Azimuthal Equal Area (Polar Aspect) projection is an equal-area projection with the azimuthal property showing true directions from the center of the projection. Its scale at a given distance from the center varies less from the scale at the center than the scale of any of the other azimuthal projections. All meridians in the polar aspect are straight lines.

The "PolarAzimuthalEqualArea" Projection has the following Parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter String	Units
Longitude of the Center of the Projection	central_meridian	AngularValue
Longitude of the Center of the Projection	latitude_of_origin	AngularValue
False Easting	false_easting	LinearValue
False Northing	false_northing	LinearValue
