EEA reference grid

Created : May 23, 2013 Published : May 24, 2013 Last modified : May 24, 2013 10:39 AM
Topics: ,
The grid is based on the recommendation at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids in 2003 and later INSPIRE geographical grid systems. For each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. The grids cover at least country borders - plus 15km buffer - and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v7.0 - plus 15km buffer - (www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound). Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.

Methodology:

The reference grids are based on ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection with parameters: latitude of origin 52° N, longitude of origin 10° E, false northing 3 210 000.0 m, false easting 4 321 000.0 m. The grid origin is at 0 m N, 0 m E.

Data sources

As administrative units layer, FAO-GAUL level 0 dataset was used - metadata

For the determination of the marine area Exclusive Economic Zones were used: EEZ, v7.0, www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound - metadata
