NAME
c_css2c - convert from lat/lon coordinates to Cartesian coordinates.
FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
void c_css2c(int, float *, float *, float *, float *, float *);
SYNOPSIS
c_css2c(n, rlat, rlon, x, y, z);
DESCRIPTION
n The number of input lat/lon coordinates.
rlat An array containing the latitudes of the input coordinates, in degrees.
rlon An array containing the longitudes of the input coordinates, in degrees.
x An array containing the X component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data.
(x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate
(rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
y An array containing the Y component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data.
(x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate
(rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
z An array containing the Z component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data.
(x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate
(rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
USAGE
c_css2c is called to find the equivalent Cartesian coordinates on a unit sphere to specified latitude and
longitude coordinates. The coordinate of 0. latitude and 0. longitude is converted to Cartesian
coordinate (1.,0.,0.). Latitudes and longitudes are assumed to be in degrees.
RETURN VALUE
c_css2c does not return a value.
ACCESS
To use c_css2c, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
