Description:Expression of the equations for a UTM (Gauss-Kriiger) projection in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, rather than their series expansions, allows the projection to be used over wider zones than the standard 6 deg strips, and thus makes it applicable to satellite data from the NOAA A-G series. An efficient iterative solution method for either UTM or geodetic coordinates is developed using a complex-arithmetic version of Newton’s method. The method can be used for longitudes up to 90 deg from the central meridian.
