Abstract:
|
Seventeen control points given on the
World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84)
and Adindan datum are used to determi
ne transformation parameters between
WGS84 and Adindan datum. Using Doppler
stations on Adindan datum ,and the
transformation parameters of Doppler
satellite datum (WGS72) and Adindan ,
differences in parameters between t
he datum of GPS(WGS84) and Doppler
(WGS72) were computed. These differenc
es are not properly equal to that
adopted by USA Defense Mapping Agency
(DMA). This is due to erroneous
reductions of measured distances to the
Clark 1880 ellipsoid, and to the fact that
geoid heights were not known perfectly. |
