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.

Vertical Data (levelling)

Vertical Datum Elevation (m) Order Gravity (mGal) Published Project ID
CGVD2013 (2010.0) 1008.477 1st 980657.09 2013 H13ML1311
CGVD28 1008.292 1st 981021.48 1987 CP87209

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.
