deg2utm(Lat,Lon)
function  [x,y,utmzone] = deg2utm(Lat,Lon)

% Description: Function to convert lat/lon vectors into UTM coordinates (WGS84).
% Some code has been extracted from UTM.m function by Gabriel Ruiz Martinez.
%
% Inputs:
%    Lat: Latitude vector.   Degrees.  +ddd.ddddd  WGS84
%    Lon: Longitude vector.  Degrees.  +ddd.ddddd  WGS84
%
% Outputs:
%    x, y , utmzone.   See example
%
% Example 1:
%    Lat=[40.3154333; 46.283900; 37.577833; 28.645650; 38.855550; 25.061783];
%    Lon=[-3.4857166; 7.8012333; -119.95525; -17.759533; -94.7990166; 121.640266];
%    [x,y,utmzone] = deg2utm(Lat,Lon);
%    fprintf('%7.0f ',x)
%       458731  407653  239027  230253  343898  362850
%    fprintf('%7.0f ',y)
%      4462881 5126290 4163083 3171843 4302285 2772478
%    utmzone =
%       30 T
%       32 T
%       11 S
%       28 R
%       15 S
%       51 R
%
% Example 2: If you have Lat/Lon coordinates in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds
%    LatDMS=[40 18 55.56; 46 17 2.04];
%    LonDMS=[-3 29  8.58;  7 48 4.44];
%    Lat=dms2deg(mat2dms(LatDMS)); %convert into degrees
%    Lon=dms2deg(mat2dms(LonDMS)); %convert into degrees
%    [x,y,utmzone] = deg2utm(Lat,Lon)
