The zone is always written first, followed by the latitude band.

Each zone is segmented into 20 latitude bands.

The combination of a zone and a latitude band defines a grid zone.

(Latitude band X is the exception to this rule.)

The 10-degree latitude band in which Ascension Island resides is highlighted in red.

The provision of the latitude band along with northing supplies redundant information (which may, as a consequence, be contradictory).

The changes in O 3 concentrations are predominantly confined to the latitude band of injections in July.

Because latitude band "S" is in the northern hemisphere, a designation such as "38S" is unclear.

But an MGRS grid reference can denote an area that crosses a latitude band boundary.

In these cases, software that interprets an MGRS grid reference should accept both of the possible latitude band letters.

The ocean body surrounding the Antarctic is currently the only continuous body of water where there is a wide latitude band of open water.

For the 11 latitude bands considered, per capital GNP is more closely correlated with mean annual temperature than with latitude per se.

Latitude bands are not a part of UTM, but rather a part of MGRS.

Using the above 2-dimensional matrix, we can construct a zonal average time series for any specified latitude band or extract a time series at a specific latitude.

This is because there is only a slight variation in length of night and day from one part of Hawaii to another because all its islands lie within a narrow latitude band.

The boundaries of the latitude bands are parallel circles (dashed black lines in figure 1), which do not coincide with the boundaries of the 100,000-meter squares (blue lines in figure 1).

The great changes in the tilt of Mars explain both the strong relationship of gullies to certain latitude bands and the fact that the vast majority of gullies exist on shady, pole-facing slopes.

First, that non-climatic influences (including the distribution of natural resources) are likely to dominate at the regional level, as evidenced by the 10-200 fold variation in national per capital GNP values within 10 latitude bands.

The cloud from Mount Pinatubo stretches across a latitude band ranging from 15 degrees to 25 degrees, said Mike Matson, an interpreter of satellite images at the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration site at Camp Strings, Md.

Since the letters A, B, Y, and Z are not used for any latitude bands of UTM, their presence in an MGRS coordinate, with the omission of a zone number, indicates that the coordinates are in the UPS system.
