PURPOSE

ELPCALC Computes volume and surface area for an oblate spheroid

SYNOPSIS

function val = elpcalc(geoid,calculation)

DESCRIPTION

ELPCALC  Computes volume and surface area for an oblate spheroid

  ELPCALC(geoid,'volume') computes the volume of an oblate
  spheriod defined by geoid = [SemimajorAxis  Eccentricity].
  The units are defined by the input semimajor axis.

  ELPCALC(geoid,'surfarea') computes the surface area of an oblate
  spheriod defined by geoid = [SemimajorAxis  Eccentricity].
