ON THE ISSUE OF GEODETIC LATITUDE ACCURACY WHEN CONVERTING GEODETIC CARTESIAN COORDINATES INTO CURVILINEAR
The paper is dedicated to analysis of accuracy characteristics of the algorithms and the proposed non-iterative method for calculating the geodetic latitude when converting geodetic Cartesian coordinates into curvilinear. The studies have been performed using the method of computer modeling. Special attention is paid to practical conversion to geodetic latitude close to the Earth’s pole. Simple formula for calculating the geodetic latitude in order to complete the task with the accuracy required is proposed.
