Polar Stereographic (Variant C)

The Polar Stereographic Variant C is a third variation of the Polar Stereographic projection, and also somewhat resembles other polar azimuthal projections, with straight radiating meridians and concentric circles for meridians.  In variant C the latitude of a standard parallel along which the scale is unity is defined; the intersection of this parallel with the longitude of origin is the false origin, at which grid coordinate values are defined.

The "PolarStereographicVariantC" Projection has the following Parameters:
