The global mean distortion in word map projections
Čapek, R.: The global mean distortion in word map projections. Kartografické listy, 1997, 5, 2 tabs., 1 ref.
Abstract: The paper deals with computation of the so called “global mean distortion” of conventional and cylindrical projections. The determination of availability of the one-sheet-world-map projections was made on the basis of computed distortion values.
