Department of Defense World Geodetic System 1984 Technical Report (Supplement). Part 1. Methods, Techniques, and Data Used in WGS 84 Development.

ADA204108

Publication Date	1987
Page Count	418
Abstract	This technical report, Part I of a three-part supplement to the Department of Defense (DoD) World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) Technical Report, DMA TR 8350.2, presents the methods, techniques, and data used in WGS 84 development. The development of WGS 84 was initiated for the purpose of providing the more accurate geodetic and gravitational data required by DoD navigation and weapon systems. The new system represents the Defense Mapping Agency's modeling of the earth from a geometric, geodetic, and gravitational standpoint using data, techniques, and technology available through early 1984. Keywords: Ground based doppler, Laser satellite tracking data, Surface gravity, Satellite radar altimetry. (kr)
