Scientific Notes & Surveying Terminology:
- UTM System: A projected coordinate system that divides the Earth into 60 zones, each spanning 6 degrees of longitude.
- Central Meridian: The longitude line passing through the center of each UTM zone where the false easting is fixed at 500,000 meters.
- EPSG Code: A standardized digital registry code defining geodetic datums and projection systems (e.g., 32636 for Zone 36N).
- Scale Factor (k): A correction factor applied to minimize distortions when projecting the curved Earth surface onto a flat plane (central UTM scale is 0.9996).
- Grid Convergence: The angle between true North (geographic) and grid North.
