The horizontal coordinates were established by GPS observations and adjusted by the PATRICK ENG INC in June 2007.

The datum tag of NAD 83(2007) is equivalent to NAD 83(NSRS2007). See www.ngs.noaa.gov/NationalReadjustment for more information.

The horizontal coordinates are valid at the epoch date displayed above which is a decimal equivalence of Year/Month/Day.

The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling and adjusted in July 2007.

The X, Y, and Z were computed from the position and the ellipsoidal ht.

The Laplace correction was computed from DEFLEC09 derived deflections.

The ellipsoidal height was determined by GPS observations and is referenced to NAD 83.

The geoid height was determined by GEOID09.

The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88 geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45 degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).

The modeled gravity was interpolated from observed gravity values.
