Abstract:This study evaluates Height Modernization
issues related to NGS hybrid geoid performance
(specifically GEIOD09 and GEOID03) for height
conversions between NAVD88 and NAD83 for
the state of Ohio and quality of gravity and
height data needed to produce a cm-accurate
gravimetric geoid. The hybrid geoid is of
particular significance in this study, because an
accurate hybrid geoid would support both
accurate height conversions as well as improve
orthometric (MSL) height determination,
facilitating the almost-total replacement (except
in GPS-antagonistic environments) of traditional
leveling exercises by GPS leveling, a much more
cost- and labor-efficient heighting technique
than its traditional counterpart.
