865 2537 TIDAL 4 at Bodie Island Lighthouse - EX0144 - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This benchmark was in good condition at the time of discovery. It is located set in the granite base of the lighthouse. The area surounding the lighthouse is fenced off for safety reasons. Do not enter this area. You can view the BM from the fence line as long as the grass has been recently cut.

EX0144.The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have
EX0144.an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
EX0144
EX0144.The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
EX0144.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
EX0144
EX0144.The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
EX0144
EX0144.The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
EX0144.geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
EX0144.Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45
EX0144.degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).
EX0144
EX0144.The modeled gravity was interpolated from observed gravity values.
