Name: ETRS89 to EWR2-IRF (1)
Method: NTv2
Grid Files: TN15-ETRS89-to-EWR2-IRF.gsb
Remarks: In conjunction with the EWR2-TM map projection (code 9765) applied to EWR2-IRF (code 9763), emulates the EWR2 Snake projection. Applied to ETRS89 (as realized through the OSNet v2009 CORS) defines EWR2-IRF hence is errorless. In 2024 the EWR2 Grid (ETRS89 / EWR2 SnakeGrid) was extended eastwards as the EWR3 Grid (ETRS89 / EWR3 SnakeGrid). To the west of Bedford the EWR2 Grid is an exact subset of the EWR3 Grid; over this extent the EWR3 Grid replaces the EWR2 Grid. The EWR2 emulation file TN15-ETRS89-to-EWR2-IRF.gsb is a subset of the EWR3 emulation file TN15-ETRS89-to-EWR3-IRF.gsb (see CT code 10850).

Scope: Topographic mapping (medium and small scale).
Remarks: Used as a common CRS for the Baltic states and for medium and small scale mapping since 1993. For large scale applications see CRS codes 3300 and 3301 (Estonia), 3059 and 10306 (Latvia), and 2600 (Lituania).
Area of use: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - onshore and offshore.
Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: northing, easting (X,Y). Orientations: north, east. UoM: m.
