Danish System 34

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Note that this projection was superceded in 1999, by a newer version that uses an order 13 polynomial to further adjust the results achieved using this projection.

The "Danish System 34" projection has the following parameter:

  • Region

Region is used to indicate which part of Denmark the projection is being applied to. The valid region values are as follows:

Region

Key

Jylland

 “j”, “J”, or “1”

Sjælland

 “s”, “S”, or “2”

Bornholm

“b”, “B”, or “3”

National

“u”, “U”, or “4”
