Auvergne Dataset: Testing Several Geoid Computation Methods

In 2004, the French Institut Geographique National (IGN), upon the request of the steering committee of the European Gravity and Geoid Project, prepared a dataset to test geoid computation methods. It consists of a set of about 240,000 gravity points, three digital terrestrial models (an accurate one, a low-resolution one and a filtered one) and 75 GPS/levelling points to evaluate the quality of the computed geoid models (Duquenne, A data set to test geoid computation methods.
