Coordinate Conversion

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

BREEZE AERMOD has a tool to convert coordinates between geographic system (Lat/long), UTM system and lambert system.

This tool is compatible with copy-and-paste functions.  Copying original coordinates from a spreadsheet often simplifies the data entry process.

Starting the Coordinate Conversion Tool

From the Tools menu, select the Coordinate Conversion menu item.  The following form will be displayed:

CoordinateConverter

Original coordinates

Projection: Select the projection from which you want to convert from.  Geodetic (unprojected) would be equivalent to Longitude and Latitude.

Datum: Select the datum from which you want to convert from.

Units: Select the units the coordinates are in.

Input the value(s) of the coordinates you want to convert from in the grid.  If converting Longitude and Latitudes, the X coordinate is equivalent to the Longitude.

Longitude and Latitude values should be in decimal degrees. Longitude is negative in the west hemisphere. Latitude is negative in the south hemisphere.

Converted coordinates

Select the parameters you wish to project the original coordinates into.

Convert

Click on this button to convert the original coordinates to the desired coordinates.
