Danish System 34 Projection

(Pre-1999 variation, using order 11 polynomial)

This projection is a variation of the Transverse Mercator projection used in Denmark, and is also referred to as UTS34. The projection consists of a base UTM (zones 32 & 33) calculation, which is then adjusted by an order 11 polynomial.

The polynomials used in the Danish System 34 projection were developed by K. Poder and K. Engsager of Kort & Matrikelstyrelsen. The polynomial coefficients can be obtained by contacting Kort & Matrikelstyrelsen.

Note that this projection was superceded in 1999, by a newer version that uses an order 13  polynomial to further adjust the results achieved using this projection.
