Space oblique for MISR¶

Space oblique for MISR is a specialization of Space Oblique Mercator which specifies the appropriate ascending longitude, inclination angle, and orbital period for Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) orbits, based on the path number for the orbit.

"Paths" are the repeating ground tracks that are traced by sun-synchronous satellites like Terra on which the MISR instrument is aboard.

Classification	Conformal
Available forms	Forward and inverse, spherical and ellipsoidal
Defined area	Global
Alias	misrsom
Domain	2D
Input type	Geodetic coordinates
Output type	Projected coordinates

Space oblique for MISR — proj-string: `+proj=misrsom +path=1`¶

Parameters¶

Required¶

+path=<value>¶: Selected path of satellite. Value between 1 and 233.

Optional¶

+lon_0=<value>¶

Central meridian/longitude of natural origin, longitude of origin or longitude of false origin (naming and meaning depend on the projection method).

Defaults to 0.0.

Note

The default convention is to interpret this value as decimal degrees. To specify radians instead, follow the value with the "r" character.

Example: +lon_0=1.570796r

See Projection Units for more information.

+ellps=<value>¶

The name of a built-in ellipsoid definition.

See Ellipsoids for more information, or execute proj -le for a list of built-in ellipsoid names.

Defaults to "GRS80".

+R=<value>¶

Radius of the sphere, given in meters. If used in conjunction with +ellps, +R takes precedence.

See Ellipsoid size parameters for more information.

+x_0=<value>¶

False easting, easting at false origin or easting at projection centre (naming and meaning depend on the projection method). Always in meters.

Defaults to 0.0.

+y_0=<value>¶

False northing, northing at false origin or northing at projection centre (naming and meaning depend on the projection method). Always in meters.

Defaults to 0.0.
