MY0714.The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have
MY0714.an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
MY0714
MY0714.The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
MY0714.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
MY0714
MY0714.The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
MY0714
MY0714.The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
MY0714.geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
MY0714.Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45
MY0714.degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).
MY0714
MY0714.The modeled gravity was interpolated from observed gravity values.
