PROBLEMS FACING HEIGHT IN SOUTH LOUISIANA Subsidence Network Adjustments (epoch) Geoid Model Updates
GPS DERIVED ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHT (Elevation) The orthometric height is calculated from the ellipsoidal and geoidal separation.
GEOID Each published Geoid is an attempt to model Earth’s equipotential surface
The TED Example The case for 1 cm level geiod STATIC STATIC STATIC STATIC STATIC STATIC STATIC RTN RTN
DEEP ROD MARKS Available to all users; GPS Equipment optional; Will monitor deep subsidence and near surface movement; Provide platforms for Absolute Gravity Meters; Develop research data for Coastal Restoration designs.
