Description:
USGG2009 is a gravimetric geoid model for Hawaiian Islands computed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). It is referred to the GRS80 normal
ellipsoid in the ITRF00 frame. It has a 1'x1' spatial resolution in latitude and longitude. It is based on terrestrial and ship-borne surface gravity
data from the NGS database and DNSC08 altimetry-derived gravity over the oceans. The geoid determination is performed in the framework of a remove-restore
procedure, where long wavelengths come from the EGM2008 geopotential model. In particular the USGG2009 model is based on the use of the one-dimensional
spherical Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with a modified Stokes kernel that retained all signal below degree 120 from EGM2008. The digital elevation model
used for the terrain correction has a 3"x3" spatial resolution and it is mainly based on SRTM-DTED1. The GEOID09 model is also computed for Hawaiian Islands,
but unlike the grids for the conterminous United States and the other outlying regions, this model does not incorporate GPS/levelling data. It is derived
from the USGG2009 model for Hawaiian Islands by changing the reference frame of the GRS80 normal ellipsoid to the NAD83(PAC00) frame.
