# Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area

Name | Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area
EPSG Code | 9820
GeoTIFF Code | CT_LambertAzimEqualArea (10)
OGC WKT Name | Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area
Supported By | GeoTIFF, PROJ.4, OGC WKT

### Projection Parameters

Name | EPSG # | GeoTIFF ID | OGC WKT | Units | Notes
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Latitude of projection center | 1 | ProjCenterLat | latitude_of_center | Angular |
Longitude of projection center | 2 | ProjCenterLong | longitude_of_center | Angular |
False Easting | 6 | FalseEasting | false_easting | Linear |
False Northing | 7 | FalseNorthing | false_northing | Linear |

### Notes

Intergraph also includes a scale at the origin, and uses NatOriginLat/Long instead of ProjCenterLat/Long.

Results differ somewhat between PROJ.4, and PCI (GCTP) as shown in Random Issues.
