Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: International GNSS Service (IGS), "Upcoming switch to IGS20 / IGb20 / IGc20 reference frame", IGSMAIL-8238, 8282, 8543 and 8634. https://igs.org/
Revision date: 2026-06-17
Scope: Geodesy.
Remarks: Replaces IGb14. Compared to IGb14, IGS20 contains 98 new stations, mostly in previously sparsely covered areas, but with 25 IGb14 sites removed. For all practical purposes coincident with ITRF2020.
Area of use: World.
