Geometric Geoid Determination in South Korea using GPS/Levelling Data

This paper describes the determination of geoid using height data measured by GPS and Spirit Levelling. The GPS data of the 88 stations were used to determine the geoid undulation (N) which can be easily obtained by subtracting the orthometric height(H) from the ellipsoidal height(h). From the geoid undulation (N) calculated at each station mentioned above, geoid plots with a contour interval of 0.25 m were drawn using two interpolation methods. The following interpolation methods were applied and compared with each other: Minimum Curvature Method and Least Squares Fitted Plane. Comparison between geometric geoid and gravimetric geoid undulation by FFT technique was carried out.
