Statistical analysis.
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.
United States (USA) - onshore and offshore.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
