Development of GGMs
With the advent of new gravity dedicated satellite missions (CHAMP, GRACE and GOCE), the long wavelength gravity field modeling of the Earth is possible with remarkable accuracy. Numerous global geopotential models (GGMs) have been developed to date with these improved satellite gravity information, …
The paper describes a method for improving the coordinates of hydrological stations using the GNSS. Traditional methods of determining the coordinates of level posts are analyzed in this work. The requirements for the accuracy and installation of geodetic points of level posts are given. A scheme of the GNSS network of the coastal zone…
