double swri_transform_util::LatitudeDegreesFromMeters(double altitude, double arc_length)

Calculate the subtending angle of an arc (aligned with the latitudinal coordinate axis at the specified altitude) with the specied arc length. This conversion is invariant to longitude.

Parameters:

altitude – [in] The radius of the arc.
arc_length – [in] The arc length in meters.

Returns:

The angle subtended by the arc (in degrees)
