European grid
 | This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (April 2009) |
The European grid is a proposed, multipurpose Pan-
false northing
: y0 = 3210000 m (CRS identifier in Inspire: ETRS89-LAEA).
[2]
The grid is designated as Grid_ETRS89-LAEA5210. For identification of an individual resolution level, the name is extended by identification of cell size in metres (example: _100K).
The origin of Grid_ETRS89-LAEA5210 coincides with the
false origin of the ETRS89-LAEA coordinate reference system
(x=0, y=0). Grid points of grids based on ETRS89-LAEA must coincide with grid points at Grid_ETRS89-LAEA5210.
The grid is defined as hierarchical one in metric coordinates in power of 10. The resolution of the grid is 1m, 10m, 100m, 1000m, 10,000m, 100,000m. The grid orientation is south-north, west-east. The reference point of the grid cell for grids based on ETRS89-LAEA is the lower left corner of the grid cell.
