mountainous area is a quite challenging task because of the lack of terrestrial gravity …

Estimation of the zero-height geopotential level W o LVD in a local vertical datum from inversion of co-located …

C Kotsakis, K Katsambalos, D Ampatzidis - Journal of geodesy, 2012 - Springer
The estimation of the zero-height geopotential level of a local vertical datum (LVD) is a key
task towards the connection of isolated physical height frames and their unification into a …

Comparison of different methods for estimating the geoid-to-quasi-geoid separation

I Foroughi, R Tenzer - Geophysical journal international, 2017 - academic.oup.com
In Molodensky's definition of the normal height, the mean normal gravity is computed
explicitly. In definition of the orthometric height, however, the actual mean gravity along the …

Towards a vertical datum standardisation under the umbrella of Global Geodetic Observing System

L Sánchez - Journal of Geodetic Science, 2012 - degruyter.com
Most of the existing height systems refer to local sea surface levels, are stationary (do not
consider variations in time), and realise different physical height types (orthometric, normal …

The effect of anomalous global lateral topographic density on the geoid-to-quasigeoid separation

R Tenzer, W Chen, S Rathnayake, M Pitoňák - Journal of Geodesy, 2021 - Springer
