-Grid data for high precision conversion of geographic coordinates from
-the original NAD83 (1986) (EPSG:4269) to NAD83 High Precision Geodetic Networks
-(HPGNs) (EPSG:4152), also referred to as High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARNs).
-NAD 83 coordinates based on the HPGN/HARN surveys changed approximately 0.2
-to 1.0 meter relative to the original NAD 83 (1986) adjustment.
-
-Those files have been converted to NTv2 grids with the
-[build_nad83_harn.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid/master/north-america/build_nad83_harn.sh) script.

-
-GEOID06 is a refined hybrid geoid model for Alaska only.
-
-GEOID06 converts between the U.S. ellipsoidal datum, NAD 83, and the U.S.
-vertical datum, NAVD 88. GEOID06 is built largely on the USGG2003 gravimetric geoid.
-
-It is superseded by later GEOIDxx models

-### USA GEOID2009 model (superseded): NAVD88/PRVD02/VIVD09/GUVD04 height to NAD83

-*Converter*: build_g2009.sh
-*Format*: GeoTIFF converted from GTX

-
-The GEOID09 model is known as a hybrid geoid model, as it is modified
-from a gravimetric model to fit GPS ellipsoid heights on leveled bench marks.
-The GEOID09 model refers to a GRS-80 shaped ellipsoid,
-centered at the NAD83 origin. It supports direct conversion between
-NAD83 GPS ellipsoidal heights and NAVD88, GUVD04 and ASVD03 orthometric heights,
-and will support future vertical datums PRVD02 nad VIVD09.

-*Converter*: build_g2012.sh
-*Format*: GeoTIFF converted from GTX

-
-GEOID12B is a hybrid geoid height model that can transform between the relevant
-vertical datum for each region to a NAD 83 ellipsoid height
-See https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GEOID/GEOID12B/faq_2012B.shtml for more details.

-### USA GEOID18 model: NAVD88/PRVD02 height to NAD83(2011)

-
-GEOID18 is intended for use with coordinates in the North American Datum of 1983 (2011)
-[NAD 83 (2011) epoch 2010.00]. It provides orthometric heights consistent with the
-North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), the Puerto Rico Vertical Datum of
-2002 (PRVD02), or the Virgin Islands Vertical Datum of 2009 (VIVD09).
-
-GEOID18 covers CONUS, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and supersedes
-GEOID12B in these regions. GEOID18 does NOT cover Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the
-Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) where users should continue
-to use GEOID12B.
