Venezuelan Geoid Model of 2004

In Venezuela, the Venezuelan Geoid Model of 2000 (MGCV04) relates the difference between the ellipsoid used by WGS84 and a surface approximating mean sea level. The model data exist in a single binary file consisting of a 30-second grid of elevation difference between the two surfaces. The elevation differences at non-grid point locations are interpolated.

The "MGCV04" 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.
