SUMMARY
Geoidal undulation is the distance from the surface of an ellipsoid to the surface of a geoid measured along a line that is perpendicular to the ellipsoid. This paper describes how the geoidal undulation can be derived from the orthometric height, Global Navigation Satellite System geodetic height, and a surface model. Various surfaces fitting using the plane coordinates of the reference points and analysis with different buffers were used to determine the geoid undulation Taiwan. The results show that the quadratic surface model outperformed other surface models, yielding a buffer radius ranging from 15 to 25 km. According to the results, the accuracy of regional geoid undulation (city or state) can be improved through this process of surface fitting.
