Reduction to mean

The values for ΔD2 are always negative and are derived from the following formula:

sea level ΔD2

ΔD2= - H · 103

R

HHeight of EDM above sea level [m] R 6.378 * 106 m

Projection

The magnitude of the projection distortion is in accordance with the projection

distortion ΔD3

system used in a particular country, for which official tables are generally available.

 

The following formula is valid for cylindrical projections such as that of Gauss-

 

Krüger:

ΔD3= - X22 · 103 2R

TPS12_054

ΔD3 Projection distortion [ppm]

XNorthing, distance from projection zero line with the scale factor 1 [km]

R 6.378 * 106 m

In countries where the scale factor is not unity, this formula cannot be directly applied.
