EPSG:8549

NAD27 to NAD83 (8)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: NAD27

Datum: North American Datum 1927

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

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

Revision date: 2019-09-17

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: Uses NADCON5 method which expects longitudes positive east in range 0-360°; source and target CRSs have longitudes positive east in range -180° to +180°. Accuracy at 67% confidence level is 0.5m onshore, 5m nearshore and undetermined farther offshore.

Method: NADCON5 (2D)
