A modified azimuthal, equal area projection. Listed here as a pseudocylindrical projection because it is often used as a pseudocylindrical projection to display the whole world at once.
Decreases along the central meridian and the Equator with distance from the center.
Moderate. Less shearing action on the outer meridians near the poles than there is in true pseudocylindrical projections
Whole-world maps, also in interrupted and condensed forms.
Presented by H.H. Ernst von Hammer (1858 - 1925) of Germany in 1892.
