Terrain Coordinate Systems

Terrain Coordinate System is a geographic referencing framework that orients spatial measurements relative to the local topographic surface, distinguishing itself from geodetic or projected coordinate systems by aligning its vertical axis with the direction of gravity and terrain elevation to accurately represent positions in rugged or uneven landscapes.
