Online geoid calculations using the GeoidEval utility

Position (ex. «16.78 -3.01», «16d46'33"N 3d0.6'W»):
   

Select action:
   

Geoid height: 

    lat lon = 37.74959 -122.42800 (37°44'59"N 122°25'41"W)
    geoid heights (m)
	EGM2008 = -32.2062
	EGM96   = -32.2539
	EGM84   = -32.6275

GeoidEval computes the height of the geoid above the WGS84 ellipsoid using interpolation in a grid of values for the earth gravity models, EGM84, or EGM96, EGM2008. The RMS error in the interpolated height is about 1 mm. Give the position in terms of latitude and longitude, for example (these all refer to the position of Timbuktu): 

        16.776 -3.009
        16d47' -3d1'
        W3°0'34" N16°46'33"
        3:0:34W 16:46:33N
The coordinates can also be given in UTM, UPS, or MGRS coordinates (see the documentation on the GeoConvert utility).

GeoidEval, which is a simple wrapper of the GeographicLib::Geoid class, is one of the utilities provided with GeographicLib. This web interface illustrates a subset of its capabilities. If you wish to use GeoidEval directly, download and compile GeographicLib. A description of the methods is given here.
