function utmZone = findUtmZone(latitude, longitude)
% Function finds the UTM zone number for given longitude and latitude.
% The longitude value must be between -180 (180 degree West) and 180 (180
% degree East) degree. The latitude must be within -80 (80 degree South) and
% 84 (84 degree North).
%
% utmZone = findUtmZone(latitude, longitude);
%
% Latitude and longitude must be in decimal degrees (e.g. 15.5 degrees not
% 15 deg 30 min).
