EPSG:10299 - RGSH2020

Selected transformation

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values taken from Nord Sahara 1959 to WGS 84 (10) (code 7442) assuming that RGSH2020 is coincident with WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Significant and varying differences (>100m) known to exist in neighbouring astro stations.

Attributes

Unit: degree (supplier to define representation)

Geodetic CRS: Nord Sahara 1959

Datum: Nord Sahara 1959

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1880 (RGS)

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: "Le System Geodesique Nord-Sahara"; IGN Paris

Revision date: 2012-04-18

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: Sometimes incorrectly referred to as Voirol Unifie 1960: this is NOT a GeogCRS but two projected CRSs based on Nord Sahara 1959 (codes 30791-92). Strictly applicable only to north of 32°N but extended southwards non-homogoneously by oil industry.

Area of use: Algeria - onshore and offshore.

Coordinate system: Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east. UoM: degree
