Geodetic CRS: ETRS89-IRE [ETRF2000]
Datum: ETRS89-IRE [ETRF2000]
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Ordnance Survey Ireland.
Revision date: 2025-11-12
Scope: Derivation of gravity-related heights from GNSS observations.
Remarks: OSGM15 supersedes OSGM02 geoid model. Replaces ETRS89 to Malin Head height (1) (tfm code 5335). For reversible alternative to this transformation see ETRS89-IRE [ETRF2000] to ETRS89-IRE [ETRF2000] + Malin Head height (2) (code 9591).
Method: Geographic3D to GravityRelatedHeight (OSGM15-Ire)
Area of use: Ireland - onshore. United Kingdom (UK) - Northern Ireland (Ulster) - onshore.
