Items

Ellipsoid = 0

Vertical coordinates are measured relative from the ellipsoid surface.

Gravity = 1

Vertical coordinates are gravity-related (e.g. measured relative from the geoid surface).

Remarks:

Coordinates of this type can usually be interpreted as pressure altitude resp. height above mean sea level.

See also:

Geocentric.Vertical
Height = 2

Vertical coordinates are measured relative from the terrain surface.

Remarks:

Coordinates of this type can be interpreted as radio altitude.

Using this type requires heightmap accesses, which may cause blocking I/O work.

VerticalType.HeightMesh
Geocentric.Vertical
HeightMesh = 3

Vertical coordinates are measured relative from the terrain surface mesh, in its current state of tessellation.

Remarks:

Coordinates of this type can be interpreted as radio altitude.

When the terrain surface mesh has not been specified resp. is not ready (see IsReady), vertical coordinates of this type will revert to Height, which may cause blocking I/O work.
