AB_CSRS.DAC
This gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1702. Geodetic Control Section; Land and Forest Svc; Alberta Environment; http://www.gov.ab.ca/env/land/dos/ or email to

Geodesy.
Longitude is POSITIVE EAST. The adjustment included connections to Greenland and Mexico but the system was not adopted there. For applications with an accuracy of better than 1m replaced by NAD83(HARN) in the US and PRVI and by NAD83(CSRS) in Canada.
Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east. UoM: degree
