Spherical Lambert conformal conic forward: tangent cone constant · case 02
Single-parallel conic grids are badly distorted while secant grids look fine.
Case contract
Input [lon, lat, lon0, lat0, lat1, lat2] degrees, sphere R = 6371000, all latitudes strictly inside (-90, 90) and on the cone side of the equator. t(p) = tan(pi/4 + p/2). n = ln(cos p1/cos p2)/ln(t(p2)/t(p1)), or sin(p1) for a tangent cone (lat1 == lat2). F = cos(p1)*t(p1)**n/n; rho = R*F/t(phi)**n; rho0 = R*F/t(p0)**n; theta = n*dlon with dlon wrapped to [-180, 180). x = rho*sin(theta), y = rho0 - rho*cos(theta), rounded to 2 decimals.
Why this case matters
Aeronautical charts and many national grids use conformal conics; a wrong cone constant distorts whole regions.
