  6. How does the data set represent geographic features?

     

    1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?

      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      • G-polygon (9040)

       

    2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

      The map projection used is Double Stereographic.

       

      Projection parameters:

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

       

      The horizontal datum used is D_North_American_1983_CSRS98.
      The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
