EPSG:5728

LN02 height

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: LN02 height

Datum: Landesnivellement 1902

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Bundesamt für Landestopografie swisstopo

Revision date: 2025-03-01

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: Repeated measurements of the national levelling network have shown a relative uplift of the Alps of up to 1.5 millimetres a year with respect to the Central Plateau. LN02 heights exclude gravity reduction. Remains in use as the official height system and is available in the form of continually revised lists. For scientific purposes replaced by LHN95 height (CRS code 5729).

Area of use: Liechtenstein; Switzerland.

Coordinate system: Vertical CS. Axis: height (H). Orientation: up. UoM: m.
