Verification of Heights Above Global Mean Sea Level from High-degree Global Geopotential Models by Using Leveling Data by Aydin Ustun is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
The dedicated satellite gravity missions CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP), Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), and Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) and their recent and expected Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) present new opportunities for the determination of gravity-related heights. Global Positioning System (GPS), the recent GGMs, and reference value W 0 are used to study the construction of di¤erent height systems and verify high-degree global geopotential models. This approach matches well with all theoretical basics of height systems. The presented numerical strategy is independent of height anomaly and geoid undulation computation. Using the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinates at 47 GPS stations of the Turkish National Vertical Control Network (TNVCN), the gravity potential values are computed based on new-generation GGMs. The computed gravity potentials are converted into di¤erent height systems. A global mean sea level represented by a geoid potential has been taken as reference for the heights. The GGM-derived geopotential numbers, Helmert orthometric, and Molodensky normal heights at the GPS
