The Ellipsoid<br />

The Geoid is a complicated surface defined by infinite<br />

number of observed gravity points, hence not suitable to<br />

perform mathematical computations.<br />

The ellipsoidal surface is smooth and convenient for<br />

mathematical operations.<br />

Therefore ellipsoid is widely used as the reference surface<br />

(datum) for horizontal coordinates in geodetic network.<br />
