GMTED2010 data set - rese_support - 08-Jun-2017

Quote:I have a question about an imported Global Elevation DEM, what is its vertical reference system? 

The provided data set of GMTED2010 is best described here:

https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1073/pdf/of2011-1073.pdf

There, it says:

"Most vertical heights in GMTED2010 are referenced to the Earth Gravitational Model 1996 (EGM 96) geoid (NGA, 2010)"
