A Comarative Study Of Ellipsoidal And Mean Sea Level Heights

Abstract This research aims to compare between heights that measured relative to the mean sea level (Orthometric Heights) and that ones related to the ellipsoid (Ellipsoidal Heights). By observing 11 points using both methods, the comparison was carried out, it found that the RMSE is 0.023m, and to convert between method to another must add or subtract 1.635m in the study area.
