This is a variation of the standard Transverse Mercator projection that is provided for the definition of coordinate systems used in specific counties in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Within a specific county in one of these states, the ellipsoid must be expanded by an additional amount to account for the average elevation within that county. In the case of a Wisconsin county, the ellipsoid must also be adjusted based on the average geoid height for that county. For Minnesota counties, the average geoid height should be set to zero.
