Mercator Chart Projection Numericals Chart Projection Basics Mercator chart based on two scales Long scale constant Lat Scale increasing poleward Relationship . _ Longitude Scate Latitude Scale = ~~ oritude Chart Projection — Some Definitions Meridional Parts — Length of the meridian between equator and that latitude measured in units of longitude scale OR The number of times 1 minute of longitude can be laid between equator and that latitude. Obtained from MP table DMP — The DMP between two parallels is the Length of the meridian between the two parallels measured in units of longitude scale OR the number of times 1 minute of longitude can be laid between those latitudes. Natural Scale — Ratio of, distance between 2 points, on chart, and actual distance between them on earth.Mercator Chart construction Numerical Construct Mercator chart from 28° N to 32° N and 015° W to 020° W using scale 1/ 1000,000 in latitude 30° N Step 1 — Calculate length of 1 minute of longitude on chart 1 minute of latitude on earth = 1 nautical mile = 1852.3 m = 1852300 mm F 1852300 1 minute of latitude on chart = “sae ™ 1 minute of longitude on chart = 1 Meridional Part = 1252300 Cos Latitude |, Scale o Mercator Chart construction Numerical Construct Mercator chart from 28° N to 32° N and 015" W to 020° W using scale 1/ 1000,000 in latitude 30° N 1 minute of longitude on chart = 1 Meridional Part = *#52300% COS MAttNAe poy, 1 minute of longitude on chart = 1 Meridional Bart = 1. 604 mmNumerical 1 minute of longitude on chart = 1.604 mm Degree of longitude .604 x 60 = 96.3 mm t’s draw the meridians Numerical fo find distance betweenNumerical DMP between 29° & 30° N Numerical DMP between 30° & 31° NNumerical between 31° & 32°N DMP = 2015.98 -1945.96 0.02 istance between 31°N& " N = 70.02 x 1.604 mmWhat will be the dimensions of a Mercator chart in centimeters constructed for coordinate’s 20° S 140° E to 20° N 140° W?
