EPSG:3859

WGS 84 to EGM2008 height (2)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: WGS 84

Datum: World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). "The development and evaluation of the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008)", Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, volume 117 Issue B4, 2012-04-19.

Revision date: 2023-01-17

Scope: Derivation of gravity-related heights from GNSS observations.

Remarks: 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.

Method: Geographic3D to GravityRelatedHeight (EGM2008)

Area of use: World.
