Abstract

An evaluation was made of commonly used global and Australian regional geoid models. Absolute and relative comparisons over 46.2 km, using 116 control points (6,670 baselines) and over elevations between 200 m and 600 m show that AUSGeoid98 is the superior geoid model for the conversion of GPS-derived ellipsoid heights to AHD elevations in the test area.
