Description
haversine uses the Haversine formula to calculate the
great circle distance between two pairsa of lat-lon values. No
projection is used so this is only useful for points close
together on the Earth's surface. In addition, it uses a NASA
estimate of the volumetric radius of the Earth (6371). The radius
estimate at the equator is 6378.137 and that of the polar radius
is 6356.752. It produces a vector of all three of these values.
Usage
1
haversine(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2)
Arguments
lat1
The first latitude in decimal degrees
lon1
The first longitude in decimal degrees
lat2
The second latitude in decimal degrees
lon2
The second longitude in decimal degrees
Value
a matrix of the polar, volumetric, and equatorial distances in km
