Syntax

phi2 = meridianfwd(phi1,s,ellipsoid)

Description

phi2 = meridianfwd(phi1,s,ellipsoid) determines the geodetic latitude phi2 reached by starting at geodetic latitude phi1 and traveling distance s north (positive s) or south (negative s) along a meridian on the specified ellipsoid. Latitudes phi1 and phi2 are in radians, and s has the same units as the semimajor axis of the ellipsoid.
