Horizontal Coordinate System Definition Sample Clauses
The Horizontal Coordinate System Definition clause establishes the specific reference framework used to describe locations in a horizontal plane, such as latitude and longitude or a local grid system. It typically specifies the datum, projection, and units of measurement that will be used for mapping or spatial data within the agreement. By clearly defining the coordinate system, this clause ensures consistency and accuracy in spatial references, preventing misunderstandings or errors in interpreting geographic information.
Horizontal Coordinate System Definition. SCAG needs to know and agree to the data projection. It would be very unusual to accept a projection that does not have standard parameters. Data will most often be required in North American Datum 1983 UTM zone 11. The parameters for this projection are: Projection: Transverse Mercator Parameters False Easting 500000.0000000 False Northing: 0.0000000 Central Meridian: -117.0000000 Scale_Factor: 0.999600000 Latitude of Origin: 0 Linear Unit: Meter (1.000) Geographic Coordinate System: Name: GCS_North_American_1983 Angular Unit: Degree (0.017453292519943295) Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0.000000000000) Datum: D_North_American_1983 Spheroid: GRS_1980 Semimajor Axis: 6378137.000000000000 Semiminor Axis: 6356752.314140356100 Inverse Flattening: 298.2572221010000200 SCAG also requires all codes used in any spatial data set to be provided in an agreed upon electronic format.
