public class SphericalCoords extends java.lang.Object
Utility class for spherical coordinate (lat-lon) transformations. Given lat, lon, lat, lon you can find the distance or azimuth and given lat, lon, distance, azimuth you can find the lat lon of the resultant point. Just uses spherical relations, no ellpticity correction is applied. See Appendix A of "Seismology and Plate Tectonics" by David Gubbins Cambridge University Press, 1990 and Chapter 3 of "Plate Tectonics: How it Works" by Allan Cox and Robert Brian Hart Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1986

distance
public static double distance(double latA, double lonA, double latB, double lonB)
Calculates angular distance between two lat lon pairs.
-
azimuth
public static double azimuth(double latA, double lonA, double latB, double lonB)
Calculates azimuth between two lat lon pairs.
-
rotationPole
public static double[] rotationPole(double latA, double lonA, double latB, double lonB)
