Description:"Standard meteorological texts usually discuss the equations governing the atmosphere in either spherical coordinates or on a [beta] plane. In the practice of numerical weather prediction, the equations are usually transformed into the map coordinates of a conformal map. This note is an attempt to bring together in one convenient place the definitions of the maps used and to indicate the methodology by which the transformation of the equations may be carried through"--Introduction.
