Colombia Geoid Model of 2004

In Colombia, the Colombia Geoid Model of 2004 (GEOCOL04) relates the difference between the ellipsoid used by the Magna-Sirgas datum (GRS80) and a surface approximating mean sea level. The model data exist in a single binary file consisting of a 2-minute grid of elevation difference values between the two surfaces. The elevation differences at non-grid point locations are interpolated.

The "GEOCOL04" vertical transform has the following parameters:

Parameter Name

Parameter String

Units

Path to Data File

path

String

Data File Name

file

String

The path parameter can either be fully qualified or relative to the location of the data source file in which it is defined. The path string should not end with a slash character.
