An interrupted Goode Homolosine projection is
a composite map projection of the Sinusoidal and Mollweide
projections. It shows the entire world on one map. Developed in 1923
by J.P. Goode, it is described as "an interrupted, pseudocylindrical,
equal-area, composite map projection. It is formed from more than one
map projection. The Mollweide projection is used to map the polar
regions of each interrupted lobe. The Sinusoidal project is used to
map the Equatorial regions of each lobe. The two projections are
joined at the parallels ±40° 44' 11.8".
Global land masses are presented with their areas in
proper proportion, with minimal interruption, and minimal overall
distortion.
