Description:
THAI12G and THAI12H are a gravimetric and a hybrid geoid for Thailand, respectively. The THAI12G model is referred to the geocentric WGS84 ellipsoid and it is computed through the one-dimensional spherical Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in the framework of a remove-restore procedure. In particular, the non-tidal EGM2008 global geopotential model from degree 2 to 2190 and 3,949 terrestrial gravity measurements were used to contribute long- and medium-scale information of the geoid structure. The topography-implied gravity anomalies were generated by using the high-resolution residual terrain model (RTM) data from the three-arcsecond SRTM digital elevation model. The THAI12H hybrid geoid was computed by adapting the THAI12G gravimetric geoid to 200 GPS/levelling points through least-squares collocation (LSC). The resulting surface was assessed by using 53 GPS/levelling check points, yielding an overall rms of 16.1 cm. The THAI12H model directly relates GPS heights in WGS84 datum to orthometric heights in the national vertical datum (Kolak-1915).
