  1. USGG2003&GEOID03 Northeast States Geodetic Conference Daniel R. Roman, Ph.D. Research Geodesist

  2. DISCUSSION OUTLINE • Background on Geodetic Datums/Models • USGG2003 – Base Model for GEOID03 • GPSBM2003 – Control Data • Single Gaussian Matrix Model (GEOID99) • Multi-Matrix Model (GEOID03) • Results from Single Gaussian Model • Results from Multi-Matrix Model • Summary

  3. Background • Mean Sea Level (MSL) is the best reference for a height datum • The “geoid” describes the undisturbed equipotential surface of the oceans • Gravity Anomalies can be related to the geoid through a mathematical relationship • The U.S. vertical datum, NAVD 88, is a realization of that equipotential surface

  4. “P” 0 Deflection of Vertical h = H + N Normal to geoid Normal to ellipsoid “P” H h Geopotential Surface “Ellipsoid” “Q” N Geopotential Surface “Geoid” Geopotential Surface Earth’s Surface OCEAN

  16. GPS Obs. Short/Int.  Statewide adjustments (HARNs) CORS National re-adjustment Gravimetric Geoid Faye anomalies DEM resolution and accuracy Remove-and- Restore (EGM96) 1D FFT solution New DEM/gravity Combined data & Fourier solution Error Sources • Leveling (BM) • Long/Int.  • Quality of initial gravity • The effect is greatest in the mountains • Propagation • GPS/Leveling

  17. Summary & Outlook • More complex models of the Gaussian function better emulate GPSBM residuals • Further near term improvements will derive from readjusting and improving input data • Long term improvements require revising the entire approach taken to generate the underlying gravimetric geoid
