information.png Methodology:

This reference grid is 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. Origin of grid is calculated from 0 m N 0 m E of projection. Created with "EEA ETRS89_LAEA fishnet tool v1 for ArcGIS 9". EEA fishnet tool and EEA GIS Guideline with detailed description of the grid is available from http://www.eionet.eu.int/gis.

Additional information

Based on proposal at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids, this is the recommended grid by EEA. The sample grids available here contain three line formated grids in 1, 10, 50 and 100 kilometres and a 1 (excluding sea for file size reasons), 10, 50 and 100 kilometres polygon grid. Grid collections for individual countries contain 1, 10, 50 and 100 km grids. The grids cover country borders and marine Natura 2000 sites (where applicable). The extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.
