Comparing GEOID99 to the GSD95 Canadian geoid model
Dru A. SmithDaniel R. RomanNational Geodetic Survey, U.S.A.
Presented at the 2000 Meeting of the CGUBanff, Alberta, Canada
Topics of Discussion
Models: NGS (USA) and GSD (Canada)
Comparison and discussion
Future plans
G99SSS: NGS gravimetric model
2.6 Million gravity points 30 arcsecond DEM 1 arcsecond DEM for PNW USA EGM96 underlying structure Faye anomalies (not Helmert) 1-D FFT Geocentric (ITRF96/GRS-80)
New for G99SSS (vs. G96SSS)
KMS98 altimetry Ellipsoidal solution to the Stokes
Integral (Fei and Sideris) Multi-band 2-D FFT TCs 3 arcsecond TCs for PNW USA 1 arcminute resolution North to 58 degrees
New for G99SSS: Ellipsoidal solution to the Stokes Integral
Fei, Z.L. and M.G. Sideris, 2000: A new method for computing the ellipsoidal correction for Stokes’s formula, Journal of Geodesy, in review.
Significant reduction in N/S tilts
Ellipsoidal Corrections used in G99SSS (cm)
New for G99SSS: Multi-band 2-D FFT TCs Lowers N/S errors in TCs; Not as good as 1-D FFT In PNW (3 arcsecond):
10 areas (5 x 2) 18 x 18 degrees (keep 6 x 6) Overlap: 2 degrees E/W and N/S
In CONUS (30 arcsecond) 3 areas (1 x 3)
164 x 46 deg (keep 76 x 17) Overlap: 8.5 degrees N/S

GEOID99: NGS hybrid model
Begin with G99SSS
6169 (NAD 83) GPS heights on (NAVD 88) leveled benchmarks inside USA
Collocation and transformations
Non-geocentric: NAD 83 <--> NAVD 88

PICTURE OF GEOID99
G99BM: NGS geocentric hybrid model
Need a geocentric hybrid model to compare to GSD95 (geocentric)
G99BM = geocentric GEOID99
Transformed NAD 83 into ITRF96
G99SSS/G99BM vs GSD95 Re-grid GSD95 from 5’ to 1’
G99BM valid only inside USA
G99SSS - GSD95 Ave = -63 cm +/- 33 cm
Trend: 0.15 ppm (72 cm E/W)
Detrended: Ave = 0 cm +/- 19 cm
PNW, BC, Hudson Bay remain outliers
G99BM - GSD95
Valid in USA only
Ave: -78 cm +/- 49 cm
New issues: WA/OR tilt New England rise
Conclusions E/W tilt remains, but reduced from 150 cm to 72 cm
GPS on BM do not significantly help the NGS/GSD disagreement
Data differences in altimetry, and DEM yield systematics that cause tilts NGSDEM99 in PNW Quebec DEM
FUTURE PLANS Helmert Anomalies, not Faye
GPS on BM through all of North America Re-adjustment in 2003(?)
Density anomalies
1 arcsecond DEM over all of CONUS (USGS) Possibly NA (SRTM)
