Although the vertical root mean square (RMS) error reported by receivers generally has smaller values, it can only be treated as a measure of the precision of the obtained results. Nowadays, real-time GNSS measurements are commonly used to implement surveys with increased accuracy. In some cases, it may be of concern to determine the height difference with real-time techniques than the height itself. The use of height difference may be applicable when a point with a known height is available. This offers the possibility of transferring the known height to a distant point using GNSS technology instead of geometric leveling, which is more labor-intensive. The aim of the study was to verify if achieving accuracy better than 2 cm in ellipsoidal height difference using RTK/NRTK GNSS is possible, providing special conditions of measurement. In this paper, the results of research consisting of RTK/NRTK measurement of specific points with fixed heights in various terrain conditions are presented. A single GNSS reference station was used as a base station to determine ellipsoidal height in RTK mode and Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) for measurements in NRTK mode. Comparison of the ellipsoidal height difference to the results of precise leveling allows us to determine ellipsoidal height measurement errors. The measurements were carried out in open terrain, with the covered horizon (under trees) and in urbanized areas (high buildings). The method proposed by the authors in this paper does not require knowledge of the quasi-geoid model, neither normal correction to obtain measurement results.

They need to be applied at stations buried inside the masses to transform internal values into harmonically downward continued values, which are then input to local quasi-geoid modelling using least-squares collocation or least-squares techniques in combination with the remove-compute-restore approach. Harmonic corrections to potential and height anomaly were assumed to be negligible so far resulting in yet unknown quasi-geoid model errors. The improved expressions for the harmonic correction to gravity, and the new expressions for the harmonic correction to potential and height anomaly are used to quantify the approximation errors of the commonly used harmonic correction to gravity and to quantify the magnitude of the harmonic correction to potential and height anomaly. This is done for two test areas with different topographic regimes. One comprises parts of Norway and the North Atlantic where the presence of deep, long, and narrow fjords suggest extreme values for the harmonic correction to potential and height anomaly and corresponding large errors of the commonly used approximation of the harmonic correction to gravity. The other one is located in the Auvergne test area with a moderate topography comprising both flat and hilly areas and therefore may be representative for many areas around the world. For both test areas, two RTM surfaces with different smoothness are computed simulating the use of a medium-resolution and an ultra-high-resolution reference gravity field, respectively. We show that the errors of the commonly used harmonic correction to gravity may be as large as the harmonic correction itself and attain peak values in areas of strong topographic variations of about 100 mGal. Moreover, we show that this correction may introduce long-wavelength biases in the computed quasi-geoid model. Furthermore, we show that the harmonic correction to height anomaly can attain values on the order of a decimetre at some points. Overall, however, the harmonic correction to height anomaly needs to be applied only in areas of strong topographic variations. In flat or hilly areas, it is mostly smaller than one centimetre. Finally, we show that the harmonic corrections increase with increasing smoothness of the RTM surface, which suggests to use a RTM surface with a spatial resolution comparable to the finest scales which can be resolved by the data rather than depending on the resolution of the global geopotential model used to reduce the data.

Challenges related to the determination of altitudes of mountain peaks presented on cartographic sources / Katarzyna Chwedczuk in Geodetski vestnik, vol 66 n° 1 (March 2022)  

Public [article]  inGeodetski vestnik > vol 66 n° 1 (March 2022) . - pp 49 - 59 Titre : Challenges related to the determination of altitudes of mountain peaks presented on cartographic sources Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Katarzyna Chwedczuk, Auteur ; Daniel Cienkosz, Auteur ; Michal Apollo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 49 - 59 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Slovène (slv) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Nivellement [Termes IGN] altimétrie [Termes IGN] altitude [Termes IGN] données cartographiques [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] hauteur ellipsoïdale [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de terrain [Termes IGN] montagne [Termes IGN] nivellement par GPS [Termes IGN] Pologne [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] sommet (relief) Résumé : (auteur) This study aimed to measure and validate altitudes from existing sources with direct GNSS measurements and airborne lidar data. For this purpose, 12 mountain peaks located in the south part of Polish territory were selected. Measurements were performed using a GNSS receiver using the Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or static techniques enabling altitude measurements with accuracy of 10 cm. GNSS was treated as the primary data source, as the direct field measurements can determine the highest point on each peak. The obtained results were confronted with historical, internet sources, and official altitude data. Moreover, each altitude was determined using lidar data from an airborne lidar dataset of Poland from the ISOK program and provided by the national agency. Significant discrepancies in data were already detected during the analysis of internet materials and traditional maps, up to a few meters. The differences between measured and internet sources in altitude of mountain peak range from 27 cm to 504 cm. This study has shown the need to re-measure the altitudes of the mountain peaks and determine the highest point correctly.

Validating geoid models with marine GNSS measurements, sea surface models, and additional gravity observations in the Gulf of Finland / Timo Saari in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 3 (May 2021)  

Public [article]  inMarine geodesy > vol 44 n° 3 (May 2021) . - pp 196 - 214 Titre : Validating geoid models with marine GNSS measurements, sea surface models, and additional gravity observations in the Gulf of Finland Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Timo Saari, Auteur ; Mirjam Bilker-Koivula, Auteur ; Hannu Koivula, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 196 - 214 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] Finlande [Termes IGN] géodésie marine [Termes IGN] geoïde marin [Termes IGN] hauteur ellipsoïdale [Termes IGN] mesurage par GNSS [Termes IGN] modèle de géopotentiel [Termes IGN] nivellement [Termes IGN] surface de la mer Résumé : (auteur) Traditionally, geoid models have been validated using GNSS-levelling benchmarks on land only. As such benchmarks cannot be established offshore, marine areas of geoid models must be evaluated in a different way. In this research, we present a marine GNSS/gravity campaign where existing geoid models were validated at sea areas by GNSS measurements in combination with sea surface models. Additionally, a new geoid model, calculated using the newly collected marine gravity data, was validated. The campaign was carried out with the marine geology research catamaran Geomari (operated by the Geological Survey of Finland), which sailed back and forth the eastern part of the Finnish territorial waters of the Gulf of Finland during the early summer of 2018. From the GNSS and sea surface data we were able to obtain geoid heights at sea areas with an accuracy of a few centimetres. When the GNSS derived geoid heights are compared with geoid heights from the geoid models differences between the respective models are seen in the most eastern and southern parts of the campaign area. The new gravity data changed the geoid model heights by up to 15 cm in areas of sparse/non-existing gravity data.
