The universal polar stereographic (UPS) coordinate system is used in conjunction with the universal transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system to locate positions on the surface of the Earth. Like the UTM coordinate system, the UPS coordinate system uses a metric-based cartesian grid laid out on a conformally projected surface.
UTM zones on an equirectangular world map with irregular zones in red and New York City's zone highlighted. The first part of an MGRS coordinate is the grid-zone designation. The 6° wide UTM zones, numbered 1–60, are intersected by latitude bands that are normally 8° high, lettered C–X (omitting I and O).
Each of the 60 zones uses a transverse Mercator projection that can map a region of large north-south extent with low distortion. By using narrow zones of 6° of longitude (up to 668 km) in width, and reducing the scale factor along the central meridian to 0.9996 (a reduction of 1:2500), the amount of distortion is held below 1 part in 1,000 ...

White space around the chart is filled with map information and the legend, scales, and tables of airport and airspace information. Terrain is color-coded for its elevation and major roads, cities, and bodies of water are shown for visual reference, as well as other identifiable structures (e.g., stadiums and water towers ).
UPS earnings represent a tale of two halves in 2024. The first-half adjusted operating profit declined by 30.3% compared to the first half of 2023. Think UPS Stock Is Expensive?
The IPS/UPS (Russian: ЕЭС/ОЭС), also widely known as the Russian grid or the post-Soviet grid is a wide area synchronous transmission grid, where the Unified Power System (UPS) (Единая энергетическая система России (ЕЭС)) being the Russian grid, and the Integrated Power System (IPS) (Объединенная энергетическая система ...
