GEOID03
[2008 May 29]
Description
For working with the GEOID03 model, two FORTRAN programs are provided
as source code (INTG.FOR and XNTG.FOR) and as compiled executables for
both Sun Unix (INTG and XNTG) and IBM PC (INTG.EXE and XNTG.EXE)
platforms. INTG will interpolate geoid heights from data files using
user-provided coordinates. XNTG will extract sub-grids from the binary
data files, as well as convert back and forth between binary and ASCII,
or just give statistics about a data file.
To use GEOID03, the INTG executable and at least one data file must be
downloaded. You need only to select those data files that cover your region,
and the program will recognize which files are present. Select one or more of
the data files either by using the graphical or data interfaces.
Due to numerous requests, the binary formats of the eight data files have
now been switched to the native format of Intel based PCs
(little-endian). Users desiring IEEE Std. 754 binary format
should process the desired files through XNTG (in a Unix environment)
and select option 2. The user should select the default spatial
extents for the output file. Give the output file a unique
name and then change it to the input file name after the XNTG
program is complete. The resulting file will cover the same
range as the original file but will be byte-swapped. Repeat
as necessary for the desired number of files.
Note that the GEOID03 file #7, which covers the
coastal Lousiana region, has been modified.
It has been updated based on the most recent
VTDP
model for the region to better reflect the actual orthometric
heights at the bench marks. The original file is deprecated,
it's use is discouraged, but still available.
