Table 3 Planar fitting of gravimetric geoid models to GNSS/leveling geoid heights at 971 benchmarks for EGM2008, JGEOID2008, and this study

From: Refinement of a gravimetric geoid model for Japan using GOCE and an updated regional gravity field model

Model	Planar fit
Model	Tilt (ppm)	Azimuth (°)	SD (cm)
EGM2008	0.14	342	6.56
JGEOID2008	0.08	44	6.85
This study	0.11	352	4.06

Tilt represents the tilt of the fitted plate (unit: parts per million), Azimuth represents the angle of tilted trend from north, and SD indicates the standard deviation of geoid difference with respect to the fitted plane
