Basic angle of the initial production domain for source-grid (see Note 1) |

top of rectangle - latitude of nominal point). For statistical sampling over a rectangular surface area, (distance in metres between top of rectangle and the nominal point) |
| 119-122 | For statistical sampling over a rectangular Lat/Lon area, (latitude of
bottom of rectangle - latitude of nominal point). (see Note) For statistical sampling over a rectangular surface area, (distance in metres between bottom of rectangle and the nominial point) |

right side of rectangle - longitude of nominal point). For statistical sampling over a rectangular surface area, (distance in metres between right side of rectangle and the nominal point) |
| 127-130 | For statistical sampling over a rectangular Lat/Lon area, (longitude of
left side of rectangle - longitude of nominal point). For statistical sampling over a rectangular surface area, (distance in metres between left side of rectangle and the nominal point) |
| Notes: 1. Basis angle of the initial
production domain and subdivisions of this basic angle are provided to
manage cases where the recommended unit of 10-6 degrees is
not
applicable to describe the extreme longitudes and latitudes, and
direction increments.
For these last six descriptors, the unit is equal to the ratio of the
basic angle and the subdivisions number. For ordinary cases, zero
and missing
values should be coded, equivalent to respective values of 1 and 106
(10-6 degrees unit).
