EPSG:3974 DEPRECATED

WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid South

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: WGS 84

Datum: World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: US National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Revision date: 2009-04-25

Scope: Environmental science - used as basis for EASE grid.

Remarks: Alternative to NSIDC EASE-Grid South, CRS code 3409. Because of application of spherical projection method to an ellipsoid model of the earth the equal area properties are not maintained. See CRS 3409 info source for equations for EASE-Grid overlay.

Area of use: Southern hemisphere.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS for south polar azimuthal lonO 0°E. Axes: X,Y. Orientations: X along 90°E, Y along 0°E meridians. UoM: m.
