Package gov.usgs.earthquake.nshmp.geo Description

Geographic data classes and utilities.

All objects and methods in this package assume that depths are positive-down, consistent with seismological convention.

Note that while the objects and methods of this package produce reliable results for most regions of the globe, situations may arise in which users encounter unexpected behaviour and results. For instance, the 'fast' algorithms in Locations (e.g. Locations.horzDistanceFast(Location, Location) ) will not produce accurate results when used in close proximity to the poles or when locations span the antimeridian (the -180° +180° transition). In such cases, users should consider substituting slower, but more accurate algorithms. In the latter case, one could alternatively opt to use locations referenced to 0° to 360° instead. Exceptional behavior is well documented in the Locations class.
