Progress towards a common North American Geoid in 2012

This article discusses advancements made in achieving a unified North American geoid model, focusing on considerations for unification such as datum surface selection, GNSS reference frame, EGM reference model, and kernel modification. It compares USGG2012 with CGG2010, analyzes gravity datasets, and outlines techniques for agreement on W0 value. The text addresses regional and global geoid-based vertical datums, with insights on Tide Gauge and SST comparisons, Geometric Reference Frame NAD83, and transformation methods for GNSS-derived orthometric heights.

  1. Progress towards a common North American Geoid in 2012 Daniel Roman, Yan Wang & Xiaopeng Li National Geodetic Survey Geosciences Research Division

  2. Considerations for Unification • Datum surface (W0 selection) • GNSS Reference Frame • EGM Reference Model • Kernel Modification • USGG2012 – CGG2010 Comparisons • Gravity data sets • Techniques • GRAV-D

  3. Agreement on W0 Value Regional and global geoid based vertical datumsII: Progress towards a common North American Geoid in 2012

  4. Tide Gauge comparisons limited to where SST models exist 62,636,856.00 m2/s2 F.I.G. Working Week 2012 6-10 May 2012 Rome, Italy

  5. Goemetric Reference Frame NAD83(CSRS) vs NAD83(2011) NAD83(CSRS) vs NAD 83(2022) U.S. may have to keep “NAD 83” name for legal reasons It will effectively be IGS2020 or ITRF2020 Likely fixed at a specific epoch (not dynamic) HTDP to transform Use these to access GNSS-derived orthometric heights • PERSOMM Rich Snay • Should agree • Differing SOP’s may cause inconsistencies in velocities and positional coordinates • Must also track ref. epoch • U.S. set epoch at 2010.0 • Canada also tracks GIA closely
