AGGOQG_LSC_2025 is a local, high-precision, high-resolution, pure-gravimetric quasigeoid model developed for the area surrounding AGGO and LPGS, two International Height Reference Frame (IHRF) stations located in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, covering latitudes 36°S to 31°S and longitudes 61°W to 55°W, with a 0.03° grid resolution. The purpose of the model is to determine the IHRF vertical coordinate at these stations. Its computation followed Molodensky’s formulation of the Geodetic Boundary Value Problem (GBVP) and employed the remove–compute–restore (RCR) strategy. Long-wavelength components were modeled using the XGM2019e Global Geopotential Model (GGM) up to degree and order 600. Topographic contributions were modeled via Residual Terrain Modeling (RTM) using the SRTM v4.1 Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Residual height anomalies were calculated with the Least-Squares Collocation (LSC) technique. All computational steps were performed with the GRAVSOFT software package. Validation against 111 GNSS/leveling points yielded an estimated precision of 0.063 m after applying a four-parameter fit.

The geoid model is provided in ISG format 2.0 (ISG Format Specifications), while the file in its original data format is available at the model ISG webpage.

The International Service for the Geoid (ISG) was founded in 1992 (as International Geoid Service - IGeS) and it is now an official service of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), under the umbrella of the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS). The main activities of ISG consist in collecting, analysing and redistributing local and regional geoid models, as well as organizing international schools on the geoid determination (Reguzzoni et al., 2021).
