EPSG:27703

WGS 84 / Equi7 Asia

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: WGS 84

Datum: World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: "Optimisation of global grids for high-resolution remote sensing data", Bernhard Bauer-Marschallinger, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien).

Revision date: 2024-01-04

Scope: Continental mapping of raster data.

Remarks: Basis for the Equi7 grid for Asia. Designed in 2014 to efficiently handle the archiving, processing, and displaying of high resolution raster data over land while preserving geometric accuracy. Neither conformal nor equal area.

Area of use: Asia including Maldives and British Indian Ocean Territory.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.

Center coordinates
5908815.69 3805715.83

Projected bounds:
-3542679.29 -1584066.9
15788530.97 9709988.83

WGS84 bounds:
31.45 -10.8
-168.43 83.67
