Recent applications in Earth sciences require geoid models to be determined with a sub-
centimetre internal error. Regional models of the geoid are usually determined using …

The distribution of masses within topography is extremely important for the evaluation of a
rigorous geoid model. Most present day models of topographical density are either …

This paper represents a milestone in the UNB effort to formulate an accurate and self-
consistent theory for regional geoid determination. To get the geoid to a sub-centimetre …

Since 2006, several different groups have computed geoid and/or quasigeoid (quasi/geoid)
models for the Auvergne test area in central France using various approaches. In this …

Physical heights is one of the most important topics in physical geodesy. Their original
concept, introduced in the 19-th century, defined physical heights as lengths of plumblines of …

The aim of this paper is to show a present state-of-the-art precise gravimetric geoid
determination using the UNB Stokes-Helmert's technique in a simple schematic way. A …

Over the past decade, numerous advantages of a gravimetric geoid model and its possible
suitability for the Indian national vertical datum have been discussed and advocated by the …

The geoid, but not the quasigeoid, is an equipotential surface in the Earth's gravity field that
can serve both as a geodetic datum and a reference surface in geophysics. It is also a …

It is well known that the success in precise determinations of the gravimetric geoid height (N)
and the orthometric height (H) rely on the knowledge of the topographic mass distribution …
