Derivation of gravity-related heights from GNSS observations.
Replaces WGS 84 to EGM96 height (1) (CT code 15781). Grid spacing is 2.5 arc-minutes. For smaller spacing (in principle more exact) see CT code 3859. For reversible alternative see CT code 9704. An executable using spherical harmonics is also available.
