Albers vs. Lambert conformal conic
Albers | Lambert conformal conic | |
---|---|---|
Creator | Heinrich C. Albers (1805) | Johann Heinrich Lambert (1772) |
Group | Conic | Conic |
Property | Equal-area | Conformal |
Other Names |
|
|
Remarks | Standard parallels in the image: 10° and 70° North. (Image is truncated) If the standard parallels are set to the pole and another parallel, it becomes the Lambert Equal-Area Conic projection. |
Standard parallels set to 20° and 30° North – just because I thought that this results in a somewhat appealing world map image… The image is showing a section of the complete projection. |
