GEOID03 GEOID HEIGHT COMPUTATION

COMPUTATION OF GEOID03 GEOID HEIGHT

A GEOID03 geoid height can be computed for a specific geographic location or for a file of input points. Position coordinates should be in NAD 83 or ITRF (not NAD27, Old Hawaiian, or Puerto Rico Datums).

GEOID03 will compute geoid heights for the following areas:

Area	Latitude		Longitude
Area	Min	Max	Min	Max
Conterminous US	24N	58N	60W	130W
Alaska	49N	72N	126W	188W
Hawaii	18N	24N	154W	161W
Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands	15N	21N	64W	69W

Compute a GEOID03 geoid height for a single location:

The formats below may be used for entering latitude and longitude. Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds must be separated by spaces. (Note that commas, which were valid seperators for Geoid96 computations, are not valid for Geoid03 computations.)

Degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds Latitude Example: `35 55 19.0221` Longitude Example: `97 55 40.2351`	Degrees, minutes, and integer seconds Latitude Example: `35 55 19` Longitude Example: `97 55 40`
Degrees and decimal minutes Latitude Example: `35 55.3453`	Degrees and integer minutes Latitude Example: `35 55`
Decimal degrees. Latitude Example: `35.9320`	Integer degrees. Latitude Example: `35`

Compute GEOID03 geoid heights for a file of input points:

There are three choices of input format. Each input format has a corresponding file output format, most of which are text files suitable for further processing. You may use the SaveAs function of your browser to save this output file to your computer.
