NAD83(CSRS) / MTQ Lambert

Canada , accuracy 1.0 m, code 1946 (default) [7]
Canada , accuracy 2.0 m, code 1842 [3]

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.

Information source: "Realization and Unification of NAD83 in Canada and the U.S. via the ITRF" by Cramer et al, IAG Proceedings, Section II, Munich, October 5-9, 1998; revised 11 March 1999.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83(CSRS)

Datum: NAD83 Canadian Spatial Reference System

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Ministère des Transports du Québec, http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca

Revision date: 2008-04-25

Scope: Province-wide spatial data management.

Remarks: This CRS may sometimes be called "NAD83 / MTQ Lambert". That is the name of a different system (CRS code 3798). Although the positional differences are not significant for provincial-scale mapping they may be significant for data management.

Area of use: Canada - Quebec.

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