Description:
GEOID06 is the first hybrid geoid model for Alaska computed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). It has a 1'x1' spatial resolution in latitude and longitude.
It uses limited GPS derived ellipsoid heights on levelled benchmarks in both the U.S. and Canada. In particular the GEOID06 model is computed by fitting
these GPS/levelling observations with the USGG2003 gravimetric geoid. Therefore the resulting GEOID06 model is suitable for converting NAD83 ellipsoid heights
into equivalent NAVD88 orthometric heights.
