function [A, P, N] = geodarea(lats, lons, ellipsoid) %GEODAREA Surface area of polygon on an ellipsoid % % A = GEODAREA(lats, lons) % [A, P, N] = GEODAREA(lats, lons, ellipsoid) % % calculates the surface area A of the geodesic polygon specified by the % input vectors lats, lons (in degrees). The ellipsoid vector is of the % form [a, e], where a is the equatorial radius in meters, e is the % eccentricity. If ellipsoid is omitted, the WGS84 ellipsoid (more % precisely, the value returned by defaultellipsoid) is used. There is % no need to "close" the polygon by repeating the first point. Multiple % polygons can be specified by separating the vertices by NaNs in the % vectors. Thus a series of quadrilaterals can be specified as two 5 x K % arrays where the 5th row is NaN. The output, A, is in meters^2. % Counter-clockwise traversal counts as a positive area. Arbitrarily % complex polygons are allowed. In the case of self-intersecting % polygons the area is accumulated "algebraically", e.g., the areas of % the 2 loops in a figure-8 polygon will partially cancel. Also returned % are the perimeters of the polygons in P (meters) and the numbers of % vertices in N. geoddoc gives the restrictions on the allowed ranges of % the arguments. % % GEODAREA loosely duplicates the functionality of the areaint function % in the MATLAB mapping toolbox. The major difference is that the % polygon edges are taken to be geodesics and the area contributed by % each edge is computed using a series expansion with is accurate % regardless of the length of the edge. The formulas are derived in % % C. F. F. Karney, Algorithms for geodesics, % J.
