EPSG:3410

NSIDC EASE-Grid Global

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NSIDC Authalic Sphere

Datum: NSIDC International 1924 Authalic Sphere

Ellipsoid: International 1924 Authalic Sphere

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Brodzik, M. J., & Knowles, K. (2002). EASE-Grid: a versatile set of equal-area projections and grids. http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/globalgrids-book/ease_grid

Revision date: 2023-06-29

Scope: Environmental science - used as basis for EASE grid.

Remarks: Used as basis for Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid (EASE-Grid). See information source for equations to define EASE-Grid overlay. Superseded by WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 Global (CRS code 6933), which should be preferred for new data.

Area of use: World between 86°S and 86°N.

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