EGM2008 evaluation in Australia


The evaluation of EGM2008 (when it was early released) was implemented in many countries under the IAG WG led by Kotsakis (when the model was early released). An effort of such evaluation was also done in Australia particularly by Geodesy Group at Curtin led by Featherstone. Results of these evaluations were highlighted and published in many publications. One of them is in proceedings of the Crete Geoid Meeting 2008 [printed copy available in WF9].

In general the conclusions is that EGM2008 is very good for use in Australian continent. EGM2008 was also confirming where the Australia gravity data are not good. Problematic marine gravity data from shipborne were detected and reasons suspected were also highlighted.
