  2. THE GEOID • geoid: The equipotential surface of the Earth's gravity field which best fits, in a least squares sense, global mean sea level. • The Geoid is a representation of the earth based on an equipotential gravimetric surface resulting in an irregular and non-mathematical approximation of the earth’s size and shape relative to a base of reference approximating global mean sea level. • All points on the surface of the Geoid experience the same magnitude of gravimetric force.

  5. DATUMS • A datum is a reference ellipsoid that is defined and oriented so as to achieve a best fit approximation of the Geoid either in part or in whole. • The North American Datum (NAD) has been defined by two different ellipsoids, the Clarke ellipsoid of 1866, which was oriented to best fit the North American continent and is the basis of NAD27, and the Global Reference System ellipsoid of 1980 (GRS80) which is a globally defined ellipsoid and the basis of NAD83.

  11. MAPPING PROJECTIONS • A mapping projection is a geometric tool that allows a portion of a spherical surface to be represented on a two dimensional surface such as a flat sheet of paper or computer screen in a spatially consistent manner. • A state plane coordinate system is a specialized mapping projection that allows direct conversion between spherical geographic coordinates of latitude () and longitude (), and rectangular Cartesian coordinates of northing (y) and easting (x).

  12. MAPPING PROJECTIONS (cont) • A state plane coordinate system allows the utilization of plane surveying methods and techniques to measure small portions of the earth with minimal distortions as opposed to the more rigorous and spatially accurate methods of geodetic surveying. • It is much simpler to represent and work with engineering and mapping data on a planar surface than it is a spherical surface

  18. Ground to Ellipsoid Distortion • Occurs when the surface of the earth does not coincide with the surface of the ellipsoid. These distortions are compensated by elevation factors derived from surveyed or estimated elevations (orthometric heights), and observed or estimated differences between the geoid and ellipsoid (geoid height). Orthometric height is usually measured by differential leveling methods or estimated from USGS topographic maps. Geoid height can be obtained by direct GPS observation on a vertical control monument or utilizing GEOID99, a computer program and model available as a free download from the National Geodetic Survey.

  20. Ellipsoid to Grid Distortion • Occurs where positions on the ellipsoid must be ‘warped’ to fit their corresponding positions on the planar surface of the grid. This results in positions on the ellipsoid lying between the standard parallels being contracted to fit onto the projection plane, and positions lying outside the standard parallels being expanded. Distortions do not occur for positions lying on the standard parallels where both surfaces intersect and are coincidental with one another.

  21. Scale factor: The grid scale factor (SF) is the ratio between a distance represented on the grid and its corresponding value on the ellipsoid. It is greater than one for regions lying outside the standard parallels, less than one for the region lying between the standard parallels, and exactly one for positions lying on the standards parallels. • Correcting from ground to grid: Correcting overall ground to grid distortion is achieved by computing a correction factor (CF) that is the product of the grid scale factor (SF) and the elevation factor (EF). This is multiplied by the ground distance to achieve a corresponding distance on the grid. Thus: CF = EF x SF Grid distance = ground distance x correction factor

  24. RATIONALE FOR A SINGLE ZONE • Advances in Geographic Information Systems, computer hardware and software, and network technology have made it feasible to create, manage, access, view, query, and analyze high resolution datasets covering large geographic areas. • Analyzing raster data on statewide basis or over a large geographic region such as watershed or highway corridor within the state is practical only when all data is presented in the same coordinate system or reference frame. • A uniform coordinate system will facilitate non-vector data integration and viewing on statewide basis, and eliminate extra cost and effort needed to maintain the current overlap areas between the North and South Zones. For example, overlaps added approximately 17% to statewide DEM contract.

  26. RATIONALE FOR A SINGLE ZONE (CONT) • It is often confusing for surveyors and other professionals working with multiple state plane and UTM zones to determine which zone and datum applies for a given project location, especially if no metadata is available or given. • The constraints that gave rise to the necessity for limiting ellipsoid to grid distortions no longer exist due to advances in surveying and mapping technology.

  29. FISCAL ISSUES • Adopting a single zone system will reduce cost over time by working with and maintaining data in one zone as opposed to two. • Existing software across a broad range of disciplines does not provide economical solutions for displaying and manipulating vector and raster data simultaneously in multiple zones. • There will be a one time data conversion and migration cost, which will be absorbed by long term savings.

  31. CONSTANTS DEFINING THE KENUCKY SINGLE ZONE PROJECTION The Kentucky Single Zone Projection was developed to cover the entire state in a balanced manner that attempts to minimize ground to grid distortions and convergence angles. • Datum = NAD83 / GRS80 Ellipsoid • Central Meridian = 85° 45’ West Longitude • Parallel of Grid Origin (Base Parallel) = 36° 20’ North Latitude • Southern Standard Parallel = 37° 05’ North Latitude • Northern Standard Parallel = 38° 40’ North Latitude • False Northing = 1,000,000 meters (3,280,833.333 feet*) • False Easting = 1,500,000 meters (4,921,250.000 feet*) *U.S. Survey Feet (1 USFt. = 1200 / 3937 meter)
