Voirol 1879 (Paris)

Attributes

Unit: grad

Geodetic CRS: Voirol 1879 (Paris)

Datum: Voirol 1879 (Paris)

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1880 (IGN)

Prime meridian: Paris

Data source: EPSG

Information source: IGN Paris

Revision date: 2004-01-07

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: The appropriate usage of CRSs using the Voirol 1875 and 1879 datums is lost in antiquity. They differ by about 9 metres. Oil industry references to one could in reality be to either. All replaced by Nord Sahara 1959 (CRS code 4307).

Area of use: Algeria - onshore north of 32°N.

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