Summary In order to derive the ellipsoidal height of a point Pt, on the physical surface of the earth, and the direction of ellipsoidal normal through Pt, we presente here an iterative procedure rapidly convergent to compute, in a topocentric Cartesian system, the coordinates of Helmert's projection of the ground point Pt onto the reference ellipsoid of revolution .We derive as well the cofactor matrix of total vector of the topocentric coordinates of the above ground point and of its Helmert's projection so that to compute the variance of ellipsoidal height.
