Unit: metre
Geodetic CRS: EGM96 height
Datum: EGM96 geoid
Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2019-07-17
Scope: Geodesy.
Remarks: Zero-height surface resulting from the application of the EGM96 geoid model to the WGS 84 ellipsoid. Replaces EGM84 height (CRS code 5798). Replaced by EGM2008 height (CRS code 3855).
Area of use: World.
Coordinate system: Vertical CS. Axis: height (H). Orientation: up. UoM: m.
