EPSG:27704

WGS 84 / Equi7 Europe

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: WGS 84

Datum: World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: "Optimisation of global grids for high-resolution remote sensing data", Bernhard Bauer-Marschallinger, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien).

Revision date: 2024-06-17

Scope: Continental mapping of raster data.

Remarks: Basis for the Equi7 grid for Europe. The map projection is neither conformal nor equal-area. For compatibility with EU INSPIRE technical guidelines use ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe (CRS code 3035).

Area of use: Europe including Russia west of the Ural Mountains.

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