EPSG:26918

NAD83 / UTM zone 18N

Selected transformation

Name: NAD83 to NAD83(CSRS98) (3)

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: AB_CSRS.DAC

Remarks: This gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1702.

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 18N. For accuracies better than 1m replaced by NAD83(CSRS) / UTM zone 18N in Canada and NAD83(HARN) / UTM zone 18N in US.

Area of use: North America - between 78°W and 72°W - onshore and offshore. Canada - Nunavut; Ontario; Quebec. United States (USA) - Connecticut; Delaware; Maryland; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; North Carolina; Pennsylvania; Virginia; Vermont.

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