Derivation of gravity-related heights from GNSS observations.
Replaces WGS 84 to EGM96 height (1) (CT code 15781). Grid spacing is 1 arc-minute. For a larger grid spacing (in principle less exact) see CT code 3858. For reversible alternative see CT code 9618. An executable using spherical harmonics is available.
