Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9258) exceeds the top (9174), which is impossible. The top measurement of q28 is 9174, while the ending elevation is 9159, therefore I conclude that the measured top elevation is correct, while the bottom one is in error and should be about 9159.
