Selected transformation

Method: Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Given by infomation source in direction WGS 84 to Nord Sahara 1959. Defines official relationship between WGS 84 and national geodetic system; epoch unspecified. Derived at approximately 40 points in northern Algeria; accuracy applies only to this area.

Information source: Decree of 10 November 2022 published in Journal Officiel de la Republique Algerienne N° 80 dated 30 November 2022 pp13-15.

Attributes

Unit: degree (supplier to define representation)

Geodetic CRS: Nord Sahara 1959

Datum: Nord Sahara 1959

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1880 (RGS)

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: "Le System Geodesique Nord-Sahara"; IGN Paris

Revision date: 2012-04-18

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: Sometimes incorrectly referred to as Voirol Unifie 1960: this is NOT a GeogCRS but two projected CRSs based on Nord Sahara 1959 (codes 30791-92). Strictly applicable only to north of 32°N but extended southwards non-homogoneously by oil industry.

Area of use: Algeria - onshore and offshore.

Coordinate system: Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east. UoM: degree
