EPSG:27707

WGS 84 / Equi7 South America

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: WGS 84

Datum: World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: "Optimisation of global grids for high-resolution remote sensing data", Bernhard Bauer-Marschallinger, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien).

Revision date: 2024-01-04

Scope: Continental mapping of raster data.

Remarks: Basis for the Equi7 grid for South America. Designed in 2014 to efficiently handle the archiving, processing, and displaying of high resolution raster data over land while preserving geometric accuracy. Neither conformal nor equal-area.

Area of use: South America including Panama.

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

Center coordinates
6266943.8 5486097.12

Projected bounds:
2484.46 -682930.23
12440414.82 10624597.22

WGS84 bounds:
-124.82 -59.87
-14.58 30.31

South America including Panama.
