    <p>Hi Javier,</p>
    <p>interesting. Quick numerical experimentation seems to confirm
      that they are "equivalent", as well as looking at the drawing of
      how the projection is built.<br>
    </p>
    <p>And looking at the maths of the approximate ellipsoidal forward
      method in src/projections/tmerc.cpp, one can see:</p>
    <p>xy.<span class="pl-smi">y</span> = P-><span class="pl-smi">k0</span>
      * (<span class="pl-c1">....</span> - Q-><span class="pl-smi">ml0</span>
      + ....... )</p>
    <p>(the false northing value is added in generic PROJ code)<br>
    </p>
    <p>where</p>
    <p>Q->ml0 = <span class="pl-c1">pj_mlfn</span>(P-><span
        class="pl-smi">phi0</span>, <span class="pl-c1">sin</span>(P-><span
        class="pl-smi">phi0</span>), <span class="pl-c1">cos</span>(P-><span
        class="pl-smi">phi0</span>), Q-><span class="pl-smi">en</span>);</p>
    <p>where pj_mlfn() computes the meridional distance (formula in
      src/mlfn.cpp)<br>
    </p>
    <p>So - P->k0 * Q->ml0 should be the value of the false
      northing equivalent to the effect of phi0. (I believe :-))</p>
    <p>Also confirmed by the formula N=N0 +y(lam,phi) - k0 * m(phi0) of
