Some of you have asked about the EGM96 tidal solution. The low-degree (to degree 70) portion of the solution also included an adjustment for 12,000 parameters, including the geopotential coefficients to degree 70, 112 tidal coefficients, pole position from 1980 to 1994, station coordinates, and coefficients of the dynamic ocean topography (DOT) for TOPEX/ERS-1 and GEOSAT to degree and order 20.

Please see Rapp [1996], for a discussion of the height anomaly/geoid undulation difference.
