      Distance from the surface of the ellipsoid used, to the surface of the geoid measured along the normal to this ellipsoid. This separation is positive if the geoid is above the ellipsoid and negative if the geoid is below the ellipsoid: h - H = geoid ellipsoid separation.

      A negative value means that the geoid is under the ellipsoid. GPS measures "geodetic height, h" the vertical distance above the ellipsoid of a chosen datum. To convert from GPS ellipsoidal height to geoidal height (orthometric height,elevation): h = H + N. Example: If N = -25 m, the geoid is 25 m below the ellipsoid.

      Dec 01, 2013 · This distance was used as a baseline of the surface distance to be compared to the measured geodetic distance and the GPS collected Topographic distance. The initial surveys of the two routes was collected in the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS-84) reference ellipsoid.

      A series of basic products of ellipsoidal spatial analysis can be generated via the accurate distance field on the ellipsoidal surface. As a kind of space-oriented computing tool at a large scale, the geographical distance field is capable of shifting a large proportion of spatial analysis algorithms from the Euclidean plane to the earth ...

      The distances being the geodesic distance over the ellipsoid, i.e., the minimum length of a path staying on the ellipsoid and joining the two points, as shown in figure below. As for the ellipsoid point, this can be used to indicate points on the Earth’s surface, or near the Earth’s surface…
