Figure 1-17. Astro-Geodetic Deflection of the Vertical(e) It is possible to produce a profile of the geoid with respect to the chosen referenceellipsoid if a certain number of Laplace stations are given in a <strong>geodetic</strong> net. This profile can then answerthe question of whether the adopted reference ellipsoid properly represents the curvature of the earthover the area being surveyed. The profile in Figure 1-18 indicates that between 50° north <strong>and</strong> 25° north,along the 98th meridian, there is nothing more than r<strong>and</strong>om deviations from the referenced Clarkeellipsoid. However, at 40° south the difference between the geoid <strong>and</strong> the ellipsoid approaches 200meters.EN0593 1-28
