1977-78 Season
Engineers: David Reed, Eberhand G. Schirmacher, Robin Schumtzler,
and Harry Zohn, Jr.
Intersected peak positions determined by terrestrial surveys
employing Wild T-2 theodolite for angular measurements and Electro-tapes
for distance measurements from positions developed by geoceiver (Doppler)
observations.
Elevations based on sea level using the NASA Goddard Earth
Model (GEM) 10B.
Located in Ellsworth Land, approximately 31 km SE of Mt. Wasilewski,
approximatley 24 km SE of Thomas Mountain, and approximately 15 km SW of
Mt. Smart on the E nunatak0n Morgan Nunataks, intersected station.
Survey mark - highest point
Surveyed on 03 January 1978.
Horizontal Datum - The positions are based on WGS 66 datum. The adjusted
network was fitted to the geoceiver stations by a least squares transformation
and the residuals were less than two meters.
Vertical Datum - Geodetic heights corrected to the geoid using NASA
GEM 10B. No direct connections to sea level were made.
