Conclusions (1)• There is no noticeable improvement in GPS/leveling comparisons in Alaska (crustal motion, subsidence, PGR. etc.)
• . GPS/leveling (Yukon) comparison shows the improvement of satellite models over EGM08 happens between degree 80 to 195.
• 3 cm (21 to 18 cm) improvement of EIGEN_6c over EGM08 is seen at degree 195. There is no improvement after degree 1000. EGM08 does not improve after degree 1000, too.

Conclusions (2)• GOCO02s seems more accurate than other
solutions between degree 130 to 195.• Coefficients of all satellite models after degree
195 seem to degrade significantly and are not useable
• Altimetric geoid comparisons show the improvement between degree 105 to 160.
• Local geoid comparisons show a similar pattern
