Abstract.
A closed-form algebraic method to transform geocentric coordinates to geodetic coordinates has previously been proposed. The validity domain of latitude and height formulae in the vicinity of the Earth’s core is specified. A new expression of longitude is proposed, excluding indetermination and sensitivity to round-off error around the ±180 degrees longitude discontinuity.
