Description:
This is a gravimetric quasi-geoid model for New Zealand covering the region 25°S - 60°S and 160°E - 170°W, with a spatial resolution
of one arc-minute. It is referred to the GRS80 ellipsoid, in the NZGD2000 geodetic datum. It is based on gridded gravity data derived from 40,677 land gravity observations, satellite altimetry-derived marine
gravity anomalies, historical shipborne marine gravity observations and approximately one million airborne gravity observations. Datasets
were combined via least squares collocation through a logarithmic covariance function. The NZGeoid2017 quasi-geoid model was computed by
Wong and Gore modified Stokes integration using the remove-compute-restore technique with the EIGEN-6C4 global gravity model as the reference
field. The resulting model shows a nominal accuracy of ±48 mm when comparing it with 1442 GPS-levelling data, after correcting 13 local vertical
datum biases.
