EPSG:26903

NAD83 / UTM zone 3N

Available transformations
to EPSG:4152

Selected transformation

Method: NADCON

Grid Files: iahpgn.las iahpgn.los

Remarks: Uses NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(HARN) (code 4152) have longitudes positive east. May be taken as approximate transformation NAD83-WGS 84 - see code 1709.

Revision date: 2004-04-27

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2007-05-29

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: Replaces NAD27 / UTM zone 3N. For accuracies better than 1m replaced by NAD83(NSRS) / UTM zone 3N.

Area of use: United States (USA) - between 168°W and 162°W - Alaska and offshore continental shelf (OCS).

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
