Name: NAD27 to NAD83(CSRS98) (3)
Grid Files: AB_CSRS.DAC NTv2_0.gsb
Remarks: Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD27 to WGS 84 - see code 8585.
Information source: OGP
Revision date: 2001-08-15
Unit: metre
Geodetic CRS: NAD27
Datum: North American Datum 1927
Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: United States Geological Survey, Western Geographic Science Center
Revision date: 2020-03-26
Scope: Statistical analysis.
Remarks: Uses spherical projection formulas. USGS documentation describes sphere as derived from GRS80/WGS 84 ellipsoid but that actually used is Clarke 1866. For 1:1million and smaller scale maps there is no significant difference.
Area of use: United States (USA) - onshore and offshore.
Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
