Geodetic CRS: NAD83(CSRS)v6
Datum: North American Datum of 1983 (CSRS) version 6
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Canadian Geodetic Survey, Natural Resources Canada.
Revision date: 2025-02-19
Scope: Change of coordinate epoch in 3-dimensions (φλh).
Remarks: File initially published as cvg60.cvb, later renamed to NAD83v6VG.gvb with no change of content. Not recommended for height transformation north of 60°N due to inaccuracies in the vertical component of the model. Replaced by Canada velocity grid v7. Although the interpolation CRS is given as NAD83(CSRS)v6 (also known as NAD83(CSRS) 2010), any version of NAD83(CSRS) may be used for grid interpolation without significant error.
Method: Point motion by grid (NEU domain) (NTv2_Vel)
