5.  Geoid, Gravity, Deflection, and Data Coverage Grids
http://sinbad.ngs.noaa.gov/GEOID/ngdc-indx.html

These datasets were prepared by the National Geodetic Survey for the Solid
Earth Geophysics Division of the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).
The data elements are written in ASCII and can be downloaded in compressed
format. Geoid height, deflection of the vertical, N/S and E/W components,
terrain corrected free-air gravity anomalies, and number of gravity data
per cell are available for the conterminous US, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, and Mexico. The Geoid height using the G96SSS Geoid
Height Model is available for the conterminous US. Descriptions and formats
are available for each data set separate from the data file. [KH]
