Description:
The Ghanaian Gravimetric Geoid 2017 (GGG2017) covers the area from 4°N to 12°N in latitude and from 4°W to 2°E in longitude.
It is referred to the WGS84 reference ellipsoid and it is comnputed from EGM2008 up to degree and order 222. This selection is performed by
comparing 11 GPS/levelling observations with the geoid heights from different global gravity models. The resulting error standard deviation is equal
to 45.7 cm.
