EPSG:4960

POSGAR 98

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: POSGAR 98

Datum: Posiciones Geodesicas Argentinas 1998

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Instituto Geográfico Militar de la República Argentina, http://www.igm.gov.ar

Revision date: 2022-12-12

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: Densification in Argentina of SIRGAS 1995. Until May 2009 replaced POSGAR 94 for many practical purposes (but not as the legal system). POSGAR 94 was officially replaced by POSGAR 2007 in May 2009.

Area of use: Argentina - onshore and offshore.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 3D CS (geocentric). Axes: geocentric X Y Z. Orientations: X and Y in equatorial plane, X positive through intersection with prime meridian, Y through 0°N 90°E. Z axis parallel to mean earth rotation axis and positive towards North Pole. UoM: m.
