@UML(identifier="CS_EllipsoidalCS", specification=ISO_19111) public interface EllipsoidalCS extends CoordinateSystem
A 2- or 3-dimensional coordinate system in which position is specified by geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude, and (in the 3D case) ellipsoidal height.This type of CS can be used by coordinate reference systems of type
GeographicCRS
. The following examples describe some possible set of axes for ellipsoidal CS used with the above-cited CRS:Example 1: used with a two-dimensional Geographic CRS Axis name Abbr. Direction Unit Geodetic latitude φ AxisDirection.NORTH
degree Geodetic longitude λ AxisDirection.EAST
degree Example 2: used with a three-dimensional Geographic CRS Axis name Abbr. Direction Unit Geodetic latitude φ AxisDirection.NORTH
degree Geodetic longitude λ AxisDirection.EAST
degree Ellipsoidal height h AxisDirection.UP
