$Antoine Couëtte: Any reliable computation of terrestrial refraction?$

Any practical Method to obtain WGS84 Altitudes?
From: Antoine Couëtte

Dear All,

As this specific topic requires a dedicated thread, in the end-remark #1 of this most recent post, I indicated that I do not actually know where and how it is possible on the Internet to reliably obtain Altitudes measured from WGS84.

I performed all my computations assuming that such WGS84 referenced altitudes are obtained directly from Google Earth [Pro], but since the exact shorelines seem to always show at 0 m altitude - which should not be the actual case everywhere - I am not sure that Google Earth [Pro] actually indicates such WGS84 referenced altitudes.

Any NavList Member to bring light on this topic ?

Thanks in advance.

Kermit
