- Partially-conformal variations of the Standard Molodensky datum transformation Andrew Carey Ruffhead Ciencias de la Tierra squares ordinary least Standard Molodensky partial conformality datum transformations Standard Molodensky is a recognised method of transforming coordinates between geodetic datums. Although less accurate than some other methods, it has the merit of being direct. That is to say it can be applied to geodetic coordinates, without involving Cartesian coordinates that give rise to difficulties in computing latitude. This paper considers the use of Standard Molodensky when at least one of the datums is 2D+1D in nature, meaning that that horizontal and vertical positions are obtained by different methods. This was generally the case before 3D positioning by satellites and is a widespread characteristic of local datums that are still used. The 2D+1D property weakens the argument for 3D conformality, and invites the possibility that different translation parameters might be used for horizontal and vertical shifts. The possibility of including a Z-rotation as a 7th parameter is also considered. Besides being ideal for those who favour the simplicity of Standard Molodensky, the variations introduced in this paper offer significant improvements in accuracy such as error reductions of 75%, 69% and 99% in the three selected case studies. 2022 artículo científico 1413-4853 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=393973723004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3939/393973723004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3939/393973723004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3939/393973723004/393973723004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3939/393973723004/movil 10.1590/s1982-21702022000400021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3939 Boletim de Ciências Geodésicas application/pdf Universidade Federal do Paraná Boletim de Ciências Geodésicas (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.28
