EEA Reference grid for Europe (50km), Jun. 2024
This dataset is an INSPIRE compatible vector grid of 50 km covering the whole of Europe. For each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. The grids cover at least country borders - plus 15 km buffer - and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v7.0 - plus 15 km buffer. Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.

Method Step
- Description
-
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 3210000.0m, false easting 4321000.0m. Origin of the grid is calculated from 0mN 0mE of projection. The method followed the instructions for the EEA fishnet tool described in the EEA Reference grid definition available in the link section.
