Description:
This is a geoid model for Uruguay computed by Servicio Geográfico Militar. It is referred to the WGS84 geodetic system
and covers the area from -30° to -35° latitude and from 301.5° to 307° longitude. The input gravity data were 5873 ground observations,
9987 marine free-air anomalies from the GMGA9706 model, the EGM96 geopotential model. The topographic data were compiled from the 2 km x 2 km
SGM digital terrain model, the 2.5' x 2.5' USP model and from the GTOPO30 global topographic model. The remove-restore technique was applied
by combining the mentioned datasets. The external masses to the geoid was considered with the second Helmert condensation method, taking in
account the indirect effect. The gravimetric contribution was calculated using residual free-air anomalies in the spherical Stokes formula,
evaluated with 1D-FFT. The resulting geoid was adapted by a bias and a tilt to the national vertical system, Montevideo 1948, by fitting
GPS/levelling observations, with a resulting accuracy of 13 cm.
