arcgis desktop - Which vertical coordinate system is used in "ALOS PALSAR"?


I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.


I have downloaded a raster file from this link.(the data is from ALOS PSAR) when I opened the file all heights are ellipsoid, I have to convert the raster file to Orthometric height (exactly like SRTM 1 arc-second) The xy coordinate system is WGS_1984_UTM_ZONE39. I added vertical coordinate system to WGS_1984 by using Define Projection tool.


now I used Project Raster tool to transform the ellipsoid raster file to Orthometric raster file as the below:


Input: myfile.tif Input coordinate system: WGS_1984_UTM_ZONE39 / WGS_1984 Output: test.tif output coordinate system: GCS_WGS_1984 / VCS:EGM96_Geoid


but the result is still ellipsoid! I have tried many times but the result is not OK.





I should have checked Vertical (Optional) box to enable Vertical transformation.


enter image description here


but the result is incorrect. now the sea level is 200 meter!!!
