Station Report

Geoid velocity added

To correct for the vertical drift between reference frames, the velocity of the geoid height (VN) is now calculated and incorporated into the calculation of the orthometric height. View documentation to learn more.

WARNING: The use of small antennas on larger diameter concrete pillar CBN monuments can result in vertical position biases of up to 3 cm when using the GPS L2 signal due to potential signal multipath reflections from the top of the pillars. It is recommended to mount such antennas as close as possible to the top of the pillar to reduce multipath effects (e.g., 5 cm or less from the antenna reference point). Larger diameter antennas that cover most of the tops of these pillars are not significantly affected by this kind of multipath.

Unless otherwise noted, all displayed uncertainties are computed at the 68% (1-sigma) confidence level.

Changing these fields will auto-update the station coordinate information below.

The velocities are interpolated from the national Velocity Grid version 7.0.

Vertical Data (levelling)

Vertical Datum Elevation (m) Order Gravity (mGal) Published Project ID
CGVD2013 (2010.0) 271.504 1st 980327.06 2013 H13ML1311
CGVD28 271.943 1st 980426.62 1999 N27U99

The CGVD2013 height reported in the Vertical Data table is approximate because it is calculated from historical levelling data and not from the combination of GNSS and a geoid model.
