In 2000 this modification was replaced through use of the regular Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP) method [9802] with appropriately modified parameter values.
Note: These formulas have been transcribed from EPSG Guidance Note #7-2. Users are encouraged to use that document rather than the text which follows as reference because limitations in the transcription will be avoided. For the Lambert Conic Conformal (2 SP Belgium), the formulas for the regular two standard parallel case (coordinate operation method code 9802) are used except for easting, northing in the forward formula and lon in the rverse formula. To derive the projected Easting and Northing coordinates of a point with geographical coordinates (lat,lon) the formulas for the one standard parallel case are: Easting, E = EF + r sin (theta - alpha) Northing, N = NF + rF - r cos (theta - alpha) where m = cos(lat)/(1 - e^2 sin^2(lat))^0.5 for m1, lat1, and m2, lat2 where lat1 and lat2 are the latitudes of the two standard parallels. t = tan(pi/4 - lat/2)/[(1 - e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^(e/2) for t1, t2, tF and t using lat1, lat2, latF and lat respectively. n = (loge(m1) - loge(m2))/(loge(t1) - loge(t2)) F = m1/(n t1^n) r = a F t^n for rF and r, where rF is the radius of the parallel of latitude of the false origin. theta = n(lon - lon0) alpha = 29.2985 seconds. The reverse formulas to derive the latitude and longitude of a point from its Easting and Northing values are: lat = pi/2 - 2arctan{t'[(1 - esin(lat))/(1 + esin(lat))]^(e/2)} lon = ((theta' + alpha)/n) +lon0 where r' = +/-[(E - EF)^2 + {rF - (N - NF)}^2]^0.5 , taking the sign of n t' = (r'/(aF))^(1/n) theta' = atan2 [(E- EF),(rF - (N- NF))] (see implementation notes in GN7-2 preface for atan2 convention) alpha = 29.2985 seconds and n, F, and rF are derived as for the forward calculation. Note that the formula for lat requires iteration. First calculate t' and then a trial value for lat using lat = π/2-2atan (t'). Then use the full equation for lat substituting the trial value into the right hand side of the equation. Thus derive a new value for lat. Iterate the process until lat does not change significantly. The solution should quickly converge, in 3 or 4 iterations.
