Convert Longitude and Latitude to UTM
lonlat2utm(longitude, latitude, zone, km = FALSE)
numeric vector of decimal longitude. May also be
a list containing items named longitude
and latitude
, in which
case the indicated values are used, and next argument is ignored.
numeric vector of decimal latitude (ignored if
longitude
is a list containing both coordinates)
optional indication of UTM zone. Normally this is inferred from the longitude, but specifying it can be helpful in dealing with Landsat images, which may cross zones and which therefore are described by a single zone.
logical value indicating whether easting
and northing
are in kilometers or meters.
lonlat2utm
returns a list containing easting
,
northing
, zone
and hemisphere
.
