Lamberts Conformal Charts

Question 1

Where is the Parallel of Origin on a Lamberts conformal chart

Answer 1

Midway between the 2 standard parallels

Question 2

What does the Parallel of Origin control

Answer 2

The constant of the cone / n factor (angular extent of cone)

Question 3

Does the Lamberts conformal chart expand/contract in these positions:
1-outside the standard parallels
2-inside the standard parallels

Answer 3

1-expand
2-contract

Question 4

How do rhumb line tracks and great circle tracks appear on Lambert’s conformal conic charts

Answer 4

Rhumb lines are concave to the nearer pole, Great circles are concave to the parallel of origin but assumed straight

Question 5

Is the scale on a Lambert conformal conic chart constant along a parallel of latitude

Answer 5

Yes

Question 6

Where is convergency on a Lamberts chart correct

Answer 6

At the Parallel of Origin
