G GEODETIC DATUMS

The following tables contain the internal ellipsoid parameters and transformation param eters used in the GPSCard.

The values contained in these tables were derived from the following DMA technical reports:

1. TR 8350.2 Department of Defence World Geodetic System 1984 and Relationships with Local

Geodetic Systems - Revised March 1, 1988.

2. TR 8350.2B Supplement to Department of Defence World Geodetic System 1984 Technical Report

- Part II - Parameters, Formulas, and Graphics for the Practical Application of WGS84

- December 1, 1987.
