I'm having a little trouble translating the following projection info
from Arc/Info, into a grass location.
Teale Albers projection parameters:
projection albers
units meters
parameters
1st Standard Parallel: 34 00 00
2nd Standard Parallel: 40 30 00
Central Meridian: -120 00 00
Latitude of origin: 00 00 00
False easting (meters): 0
False northing (meters): -4000000
Datum: NAD27
Spheroid: Clarke 1866
My questions are:
1) What does grass mean by Central Parallel? I guessed at giving the
difference between the 1st and 2nd parallels. But...
2) How would I set the latitude of origin as the equator?
3) How do I set a false northing?
4) There doesn't seem to be anywhere to set the datum. Is NAD27
assumed under aea?
Thank you all, especially those who helped me with compilation problems.
