The purpose of this standard is to both define the Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000 and detail the parameters that define it.
In 2000, LINZ introduced the Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000 (RSRGD2000) as the official three-dimensional geodetic datum for New Zealand in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica.
Spatial data provided to and supplied by LINZ must comply with this standard when it is referenced by coordinates in terms of RSRGD2000.
Any person using RSRGD2000 must comply with this standard.
