JJ0225.The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have
JJ0225.an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
JJ0225
JJ0225.The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
JJ0225.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
JJ0225
JJ0225.The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
JJ0225
JJ0225.The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
JJ0225.geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
JJ0225.Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45
JJ0225.degrees latitude (G = 980.6199 gals.).
