This is the ellipsoidal transverse Mercator mapping the entire ellipsoid onto
the plane. The ellipsoid is WGS 84. Smaller eccentricities stretch the map
more horizontally and increase the longitude of the cusp; greater eccentricities
compress the map horizontally and decrease the longitude of the cusp. The
region along the central meridian from the north to south pole corresponds to the
Universal Transverse Mercator.
