Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: ETRS89 (geocentric)

Datum: European Terrestrial Reference System 1989

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: OGP

Information source: Norwegian Geodetic Institute geodetic publication 1990:1

Revision date: 2002-12-07

Scope: Geodetic survey.

Remarks: The distinction in usage between ETRF89 and ETRS89 is confused: although in principle conceptually different in practice both are used as synonyms.

Area of use: Europe - onshore and offshore: Albania; Andorra; Austria; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Czech Republic; Denmark; Estonia; Faroe Islands; Finland; France; Germany; Gibraltar; Greece; Hungary; Ireland; Italy; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Macedonia; Malta; Moldova; Monaco; Montenegro; Netherlands; Norway including Svalbard and Jan Mayen; Poland; Portugal; Romania; San Marino; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Ukraine; United Kingdom (UK) including Channel Islands and Isle of Man; Vatican City State.

Coordinate system: Earth centred, earth fixed, righthanded 3D coordinate system, consisting of 3 orthogonal axes with X and Y axes in the equatorial plane, positive Z-axis parallel to mean earth rotation axis and pointing towards North Pole. UoM: m.
