Datums
This appendix presents transformation parameters that are used by GPS
receivers to convert pseudo-range positions, shown on Screen 2, from WGS-84
into the desired datum. The datums are from Deptartment of Defense document
SS-M/V-500, Rev. P, 16 Oct. 1991. Receiver datum codes are selected from a
subscreen of Screen 4 on the receiver DATUM SELECT option.
•
Geoid heights computed using spherical harmonic expansion and WGS-
84 EGM.
•
WGS-84 minus local geodetic systems. All values in meters.
