Not to be repeated within a given file. GPS Order (Hztl) ---------------- Code Explanation A Length Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1:10,000,000 B Length Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1: 1,000,000 1 Length Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1: 100,000 2 Length Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1: 20,000 3 Length Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1: 5,000 Ortho Elevation Code -------------------- Code Explanation A OHT established using FGCS leveling specifications and procedures, adjusted height determined using NGS Vertical Network Branch procedures, leveling data is in the NGSIDB. B OHT established using FGCS leveling specifications and procedures, adjusted height determined using NGS Vertical Network Branch procedures, leveling data is not in the NGSIDB. (USGS, COE, some state DOT data.) C OHT established using FGCS leveling specifications and procedures, adjusted height is 'posted'. See explanation in the footnote (*) below. H OHT established using FGCS leveling specifications and procedures except for the two-mark leveling tie requirement. (Horizontal field party level ties, some state DOTs, some GPS level ties.) L OHT established using leveling RESET specifications and procedures. F OHT established by fly-leveling. T OHT established by leveling between control points which are not Bench Marks. R OHT established by reciprocal vertical angles. V OHT established by non-reciprocal vertical angles. P OHT established by photogrammetry. M OHT established by scaling from a contoured map. G OHT established by GPS observations. D OHT established by datum transformations. * Data for level lines containing 'posted' BMs were purposely not included in the NAVD88 general adjustment. Subsequently, these data were adjusted to NAVD88 by forcing them to fit the existing NAVD88 general adjustment heights. Ortho Order ----------- Code Explanation 1 Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 0.7 mm x sqrt(Km) 2 Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 1.3 mm x sqrt(Km) 3 Relative Accuracy (2 sigma) better than 2.0 mm x sqrt(Km) Ortho Datum Code ---------------- Code Explanation blank North American Vertical Datum of 1988 9 National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 Reject Code ----------- An asterisk ("*") indicates a rejection (for various experiments) Blank indicates no rejection.
