Maximum length North/ South (km) of territorial units by Geographic localization (NUTS - 2013); Annual - Directorate-General of Territorial Development
Note(s):
(1) From January 1st, 2015 came into force a new version of NUTS (NUTS 2013). At NUTS II level was just a name change in "Lisboa" which became known as "Área Metropolitana de Lisboa".
(2) Information included in the Official Administrative Map of Portugal is updated as often as new administrative units are established. Thus, this data may not match the figures published in previous years. The area and perimeter values were calculated from CAOP Geodatabase of the reference year, in PT-TM06-ETRS89 Reference System for mainland Portugal and PTRA08-UTM/ITRF93 for the autonomous regions of Açores and Madeira. The maximum lengths North-South and East-West of the territorial units were determined over the GRS80 ellipsoid. The North-South distance is the meridian arc between the extremes of the territorial unit. The East-West distance is the arc of parallel, at the average latitude of the territorial unit, between the East-West longitude extremes. The administrative territorial unit criterion is applied, including the cases in which the territorial unit is made of non-contiguous territories.
