Elevation Difference

Δh = h2 − h1. Sign is preserved. Same vertical datum required.

Geospatial & Survey

Δh = h2 − h1. Sign is preserved. Same vertical datum required.

App id: GEO-06. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

Δh = h2 − h1

Inputs

NameUnit

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Both values share a vertical reference.

Provenance

  • Do not mix ellipsoid height with orthometric elevation in the same pair.
