NAD83(CSRS) / NWT Lambert

Available transformations
to EPSG:4326
No other targets exist for this CRS

Selected transformation

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Approximation derived from tfm code 6864 ignoring time-dependent parameters and assuming ITRF96(1997.0) and WGS 84 can be considered the same within the accuracy of the transformation.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83(CSRS)

Datum: NAD83 Canadian Spatial Reference System

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2007-05-29

Scope: Territory-wide spatial data management.

Remarks: This CRS may sometimes be called "NAD83 / NWT Lambert". That is the name of a different system (see CRS code 3580) but at the scales involved the positional difference of under 2 metres may not be significant.

Area of use: Canada - Northwest Territories onshore.

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