EGM2008 height

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: EGM2008 height

Datum: EGM2008 geoid

Data source: EPSG

Information source: http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/wgs84/gravitymod/egm2008/egm08_wgs84.html

Revision date: 2019-07-17

Scope: Geodesy.

Remarks: Zero-height surface resulting from the application of the EGM2008 geoid model to the WGS 84 ellipsoid. Replaces EGM96 height (CRS code 5773).

Area of use: World.

Coordinate system: Vertical CS. Axis: height (H). Orientation: up. UoM: m.
