COMM COORDINATE DATA
COMM All lines are scissored to the following rules:
COMM   1) A 'smooth' edge outside the area boundary.
COMM   2) Maximum line overlap of 0 fiducials within
COMM      the area boundary.
COMM
COMM The local projection is a UTM projection based on the
COMM WGS84 spheroid with a central meridian of 147 East degrees.
COMM System parallax of 0.6 fiducial has been removed.
COMM
COMM MAGNETIC DATA
COMM The magnetic data has been corrected for regional gradient by subtraction
COMM of IGRF model 2005 computed continuously over the whole area based on
COMM the GPS height.
COMM Diurnal magnetic variations have been removed.
COMM System parallax of 1.6 fiducial has been removed.
COMM Tie-line levelling has been applied.
COMM Microlevelling has been applied.
COMM A base value of 61900 nT has been added to the data.
COMM

COMM DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL DATA
COMM
COMM DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL CALCULATION
COMM The radar altimeter data was subtracted from the GPS heights to provide
COMM a digital elevation model which is height above the WGS84 spheroid. Using
COMM interpolation on the 120 second DMA Geoid model, a correction was computed 
COMM and subtracted from the WGS84 data to convert to height above the geoid.
COMM
COMM DATA RELIABILITY
COMM This Digital Terrain Model (DTM) has been computed from data generated
COMM during the course of an airborne geophysical survey flown at a nominal
COMM spacing of 50m and data has been interpolated between such lines.
COMM Every effort has been made to make this model a useful general reference.
COMM No guarantee can be made that this model is a true representation of height
COMM above sea level as it can contain radar altimeter responses from buildings
COMM and in some instances dense timber. Users of the product should be aware
COMM of the topographic limitations mapped herewithin. Do not use this DTM for
COMM navigation purposes.
