Research Article. Geodesic equations and their numerical solutions in geodetic and Cartesian coordinates on an oblate spheroid
The direct geodesic problem on an oblate spheroid is described as an initial value problem and is solved numerically using both geodetic and Cartesian coordinates. The geodesic equations are formulated by means of the theory of differential geometry. The initial value problem under consideration is...
