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
