ITRF96 to ITRF97 (1)

EPSG:9027±0 m

Method:: Time-specific Position Vector transform (geocen)
Area of use:: World
Scope:: Geodesy.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	0	centimetre
Y-axis translation(ty)	0	centimetre
Z-axis translation(tz)	0	centimetre
X-axis rotation(rx)	0	milliarc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)	0	milliarc-second
Z-axis rotation(rz)	0	milliarc-second
Scale difference(ds)	0	parts per billion
epoch	1988	year

Scale difference in ppb where 1/billion = 1E-9 or nm/m. ITRF97 is by definition aligned with ITRF96.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting ITRF96 to ITRF97?: The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?: No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
