The geoid undulations were computed from the OSU91A potential coefficient model. The undulations were calculated on a 0.25 x 0.25 degree grid. The geoid undulations given on the grid refer to an ellipsoid whose flattening is 1.0/298.257--- and whose equatorial radius is approximately 6378.13655 km.
