EARTH's RADIUS FOR ANY LATITUDE - LARRY GERSTMAN's FORMULA BASED ON THE LATEST VALUES FROM THE IERS 2003 CONVENTION:

EARTH's EQUATORIAL RADIUS OF 6378136.6 METERS (3963.190343 MILES) BASED ON THE FLATTENING WHICH IS THE RECIPROCAL OF

298.25642 IS TO BE MULTIPLIED BY ( 0.998327109 + 0.00167641 COS 2 LATITUDE - 0.000003512 COS 4 LATITUDE)

THE ACCURACY OF THIS FORMULA IS NEARLY PERFECT AT THE EQUATOR AND UP TO 15.2 METERS TOO LARGE AT THE POLES.

THE IERS 2003 CONVENTION REPORT IS at: http://www.iers.org/IERS/EN/Publications/TechnicalNotes/tn32.html

WITH THE LATEST DATA IN CHAPTER 1 - PAGE 12

A SIMPLER FORMULA WHICH IS ACCURATE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING where f = EARTH's FLATTENING (0.00335282) IS:

RADIUS AT ANY LATITUDE = EARTH'S EQUATORIAL RADIUS TIMES ( 1 - "f" TIMES SINE SQUARED LATITUDE) ........ NOW WITH THE CONSTANTS:

RADIUS AT LATITUDE "L" IN KM = 6378.1366 ( 1 - 0.00335282 SIN L^2) ........ where SIN L^2 MEANS TO SQUARE THE SINE OF THE LATITUDE

RADIUS AT LATITUDE "L" IN MILES= 3963.19034 ( 1 - 0.00335282 SIN L^2)
