BH0944.The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have
BH0944.an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
BH0944
BH0944.The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
BH0944.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
BH0944
BH0944.The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
BH0944
BH0944.The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
BH0944.geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
BH0944.Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45
BH0944.degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).
