Lamberts Conformal Charts Flashcards
1
Q
Where is the Parallel of Origin on a Lamberts conformal chart
A
Midway between the 2 standard parallels
2
Q
What does the Parallel of Origin control
A
The constant of the cone / n factor (angular extent of cone)
3
Q
Does the Lamberts conformal chart expand/contract in these positions:
1-outside the standard parallels
2-inside the standard parallels
A
1-expand
2-contract
4
Q
How do rhumb line tracks and great circle tracks appear on Lambert’s conformal conic charts
A
Rhumb lines are concave to the nearer pole, Great circles are concave to the parallel of origin but assumed straight
5
Q
Is the scale on a Lambert conformal conic chart constant along a parallel of latitude
A
Yes
