So the Earth is Round, Right?

The Earth as an Ellipsoid
![Page 10: Geography 370 The size and shape of the Earth (Ellipsoid, Geoid, Latitude/longitude) Datum Map projection Locating Positions on the Earth](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e725503460f94b720da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why not use the same ellipsoid?
Earth’s true shape diverges from the shape of an ellipsoid
Ellipsoidal parameters were fit for each continent or large survey area
Different sets of measurements in each region or continent
![Page 11: Geography 370 The size and shape of the Earth (Ellipsoid, Geoid, Latitude/longitude) Datum Map projection Locating Positions on the Earth](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e725503460f94b720da/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Globally applicable ellipsoids
WGS72 WGS84 GRS80
Continuing measurements from satellite and GPS may lead to further ellipsoid refinements.

The Earth as Geoid

The Earth as a Geoid Geoid -- The surface on which gravity is the
same as its strength at mean sea level
The surface that would exist if the sea was admitted under the land portion of the earth by small frictionless channels.
![Page 15: Geography 370 The size and shape of the Earth (Ellipsoid, Geoid, Latitude/longitude) Datum Map projection Locating Positions on the Earth](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e725503460f94b720da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Earth Surfaces The topographical surface of the earth is the
actual surface of the land and sea at some moment in time.
Gravity models attempt to describe in detail the variations in the gravity field. Local variations in gravity, caused by variations in the earth's core and surface materials, cause this gravity surface to be irregular.

Reference for elevation:
• Ellipsoid
• Geoid
• Local sea level

Spatial Location and Reference: Latitude / Longitude Most commonly-used coordinate system Lines of latitude are called parallels Lines of longitude are called meridians

Latitude / Longitude
Prime Meridian & Equator are the reference points used to define latitude and longitude

Geodetic Datum
Datum -- n. (dat - m) \ any numerical or geometric quantity which serves as a reference or base for other quantities
ee•Horizontal datum •Vertical datum

Geodetic Control Networks
Surveyors use these known points in the control networks for surveys and mapping.

Three main horizontal datums
North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) 26,000 survey stations in United States and Canada.
North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) 250,000 stations and 2,000,000 distance measures
World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) (updated based on satellite measurements)

Ellipsoids & Datums: Importance
Differences exist between different ellipsoids & datums– Coordinates different in each can be
significant distance
– Elevation can be major differences at large scales
Note: Be aware of the ellipsoid & datum for datasets you are working with
