EPSG:6904

Arc 1950 to WGS 84 (11)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: Arc 1950

Datum: Arc 1950

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1880 (Arc)

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: US NGA GeoTrans software v3.4 and NGA Standard 0036 v1.0.0 of 2014-07-08.

Revision date: 2020-03-14

Scope: Military survey.

Remarks: Derived at 7 stations. Accuracy 13m, 25m and 7m in X, Y and Z axes. Info source gives source CRS as Arc 1960. From inspection of parameter values, comparison with other CTs and geographic applicability of CRS, OGP believes that this should be Arc 1950.

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Area of use: Malawi.

Description: (-179.0, -81.0, -314.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
