Step 1: Open Matlab file wgs2ps.m

  • In the open file header navigate to the Matlab folder in Documets and open wgs2ps.m

Step 2: Create Latitude and Longitude Arrays

  • Create a 1x 5 array of your latitude coordinates in decimal form
    • Save as lat
  • Create a 1x 5 array of your longitude coordinates in decimal form
    • Save as lon

Step 3: Convert to Polar Stereographic

  • For Antarctic Polar Stereographic conversion enter the following into the command line:
    • [E,N] = wgs2ps(lon,lat,'StandardParallel', -71,'StandardMeridian',0);
    • This will create E and N arrays for your Easting and Northing values respectively
