  1. Lab 17-5 ONLINE LESSON

  2. If viewing this lesson in Powerpoint Use down or up arrows to navigate

  3. Universal Transverse Mercator UTM

  4. Similar to latitude and longitude…UTM involves the intersection of lines of reference…

  5. Instead of the references latitude and longitude…easting and northing is used…

  6. Planet earth is divided into 60 zones that are in concert with lines of longitude

  7. Each of these zone lines are 6 degrees apart…and are designated zones 1 to 60…these are easting values…

  8. Within the United States, there are ten zones…

  9. The San Francisco Bay Area is in zone 10

  10. There are also latitude bands that are 8 degrees apart and are designated C to X…I and O are omitted…these are northing values

  11. So San Francisco is in zone “10” and Band “S”..

  12. Livermore is in the same zone and band…10S

  13. The “10S” zone and band are further divided into 1000 meter squares that are used for navigation…

  14. This is the easting coordinate This is the northing coordinate

  15. To find the position of the Wells use the zone and band designator 10S…

  16. To find the wells coordinates…start with the easting value of 603000

  17. Place the UTM guide at the bottom of the square in which the target is located…

  18. Since this is a square that is 1000 meters square, 8 will represent 800 meters…add this to 603000 and the easting value is 603800…

  19. The easting coordinate is 603800

  20. To find the northing place the UTM guide along the right edge of the square in which the target is located

  21. To find the northing coordinate start with 4171750

  22. Since this is a square that is 1000 meters square, 7.5 will represent 750 meters…add this to 4171000 and the northing value is 4171750…

  23. The northing coordinate is 4171750

  24. So the complete UTM coordinate of Wells is 10S 603800 4171750!

  25. Zone and band easting northing 10S 603800 4171750
