GSWA Kurnalpi North Elevation Line Data

Digital Elevation Model data record the terrain height variations from the processed point-located data recorded on an airborne geophysical survey.� The aircraft altimeter data records the height of the aircraft above the ground and the aircraft GPS records the height of the aircraft above the ellipsoid.� Subtracting the two values enables the height of the terrain beneath the aircraft relative to the ellipsoid to be calculated.� This ellipsoidal terrain height is corrected for the variation between the ellipsoid and the geoid (the n-value correction) to produce terrain heights relative to sea level.

数字高程模型（Digital Elevation Model）数据以航空地球物理勘测中采集的经处理点位定位数据为基础，记录地形高程的起伏变化。机载高度计数据记录飞行器相对于地面的高度，而机载GPS则记录飞行器相对于参考椭球体（ellipsoid）的高度。将两组数值相减，即可计算出飞行器下方地形相对于参考椭球体的高程。随后，基于参考椭球体与大地水准面（geoid）之间的差值（即n值改正）对该椭球坐标系下的地形高程进行修正，最终得到相对于海平面的地形高程数据。
