NAD83 / Alberta 3TM ref merid 114 W

Available transformations
to EPSG:4140
EPSG:4140 - NAD83(CSRS98)

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: NAD83-98.gsb

Remarks: Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(CSRS98) (code 4140) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1696.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Alberta SRD Lands Branch, Geodetic Fact Sheets 2, 6 and 10. http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/lands

Revision date: 2008-06-23

Scope: Cadastre, survey control and engineering survey in urban areas, typically in all municipalities that previously comprised the 73 Municipal Integrated Surveying and Mapping (MISAM) areas, also known as urban cadastral map areas. For rural areas use UTM.

Remarks: If used for rural area control markers, area of use is amended to between 116°W and 112°W; however use of NAD83 / UTM zones 11N and 12N (CRS codes 26911 and 26912) is encouraged in these rural areas.

Area of use: Canada - Alberta - between 115°30'W and 112°30'W.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
