Geodetic CRS: Mexico ITRF2008
Datum: Mexico ITRF2008
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: "El Geoide Gravimetrico Mexicano 2010", Instituto Nacional de Estradistica y Geografia (INEGI), 2015, and "Technical Standard for the National Geodetic System", Official Gazette of the Federation, 2010-12-23.
Revision date: 2026-02-27
Scope: Derivation of approximate gravity-related heights from GNSS observations.
Remarks: The internal accuracy of the model is estimated at 20cm. The operation accuracy reflects the qualities of both the model and the levelling network. For reversible alternative to this transformation see Mexico ITRF2008 to Mexico ITRF2008 + NAVD88 height (1) (code 11387).
Method: Geographic3D to GravityRelatedHeight (txt)
Area of use: Mexico - onshore.
