A new bipolar map projection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2005
Abstract
This paper discusses map projections suitable for representing the whole of the Earth's surface while drawing particular attention to the polar regions, and proposes a new projection. The projection is a latitudinally distorted variant of the transverse Mollweide projection, relative to which it roughly doubles the linear scale and trebles the areal coverage of the polar regions. It was adopted by the Scott Polar Research Institute in 2005.
