EPSG:3978

NAD83 / Canada Atlas Lambert

Available transformations
to EPSG:5703
EPSG:5703 - NAVD88 height

Selected transformation

Name: NAD83 to NAVD88 height (1)

Method: Geographic3D to GravityRelatedHeight (gtx)

Grid Files: g2003u01.bin

Remarks: Uses Geoid03 hybrid model. See information source for further information. Note: Source CRS is 2D, used in this application of the method as a pseudo-3D CRS.

Information source: National Geodetic Survey, http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GEOID/

Revision date: 2015-11-25

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Statistics Canada.

Revision date: 2009-04-26

Scope: Transformation of coordinates at 5m level of accuracy.

Remarks: Data may sometimes be referenced to NAD83(CSRS) / Canada Atlas Lambert (see CRS code 3979) which is then called "NAD83 / Canada Lambert". At the scales involved the difference of under 2 metres between the two CRSs may not be significant.

Area of use: Canada - onshore and offshore - Alberta; British Columbia; Manitoba; New Brunswick; Newfoundland and Labrador; Northwest Territories; Nova Scotia; Nunavut; Ontario; Prince Edward Island; Quebec; Saskatchewan; Yukon.

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