Derived in 2001. Replaces Lisbon to ETRS89 (1) (code 1655). Also given to greater precision but no more accuracy on ICC web site using Coordinate Frame method. Replaced by Lisbon to ETRS89 (3) (code 5038).
| Parameter | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| X-axis translation(tx) | -303.861 | metre |
| Y-axis translation(ty) | -60.693 | metre |
| Z-axis translation(tz) | 103.607 | metre |
Derived in July 2009 from 119 common stations. Average residual at 833 test points 2.5m, maximum 7m. Info source also gives a Position Vector tfm which is of similar accuracy. Replaces Lisbon to ETRS89 (2) (tfm code 1997).
| Parameter | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| X-axis translation(tx) | -280.9 | metre |
| Y-axis translation(ty) | -89.8 | metre |
| Z-axis translation(tz) | 130.2 | metre |
| X-axis rotation(rx) | -1.721 | arc-second |
| Y-axis rotation(ry) | 0.355 | arc-second |
| Z-axis rotation(rz) | -0.371 | arc-second |
| Scale difference(ds) | -5.92 | parts per million |
Derived in 2000 at 8 stations. Replaced by 2001 derivation (tfm code 1997). May be taken as approximate transformation to WGS 84 - see tfm code 1656,
The same transformation with common GIS tools and libraries:
from pyproj import Transformer
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("EPSG:4207", "EPSG:4258", always_xy=True)
x, y = transformer.transform(-73.9857, 40.7484)
