10.4.34 Geoid Height Packet
This packet provides the offset at the current location between the WGS84 ellipsoid and the EGM96 geoid
model. This can be used to determine the current height above mean sea level and also depth through the
following equations:
Height Above Mean Sea Level = WGS84 Height – Geoid Height
Depth = Geoid Height – WGS84 Height
WGS84 Height is the height at the current location in the System State packet, see
