This article discusses advancements made in achieving a unified North American geoid model, focusing on considerations for unification such as datum surface selection, GNSS reference frame, EGM reference model, and kernel modification. It compares USGG2012 with CGG2010, analyzes gravity datasets, and outlines techniques for agreement on W0 value. The text addresses regional and global geoid-based vertical datums, with insights on Tide Gauge and SST comparisons, Geometric Reference Frame NAD83, and transformation methods for GNSS-derived orthometric heights.

Goemetric Reference Frame NAD83(CSRS) vs NAD83(2011) NAD83(CSRS) vs NAD 83(2022) U.S. may have to keep “NAD 83” name for legal reasons It will effectively be IGS2020 or ITRF2020 Likely fixed at a specific epoch (not dynamic) HTDP to transform Use these to access GNSS-derived orthometric heights • PERSOMM Rich Snay • Should agree • Differing SOP’s may cause inconsistencies in velocities and positional coordinates • Must also track ref. epoch • U.S. set epoch at 2010.0 • Canada also tracks GIA closely
