The Quasigeoid: Why Molodensky Heights Fail

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractAny height system has two constituents: A reference surface upon which all heights are equal to zero, and a prescription for how observed heights and height differences will be related to that surface. That prescription is typically formulated with reference to Earth’s gravity field, but in this contribution, we will use the concept of metric ...

The Influence of Bathymetry on Regional Marine Geoid Modeling in Northern Europe

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Although Northern Europe has been the target area in many regionwide geoid determination studies, the research has been land-focused, neglecting bathymetry information. With new projects, such as the Baltic Sea Chart Datum 2000, the attention is shifting

GOCE quasigeoid performance for Norway

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2015
Abstract We have compared the EGM08/GOCE quasigeoid with the height anomalies of a precise GPS/levelling network in the south of Norway where the GOCE ground tracks are dense and the gravitational signal has been described as rough. It was found that the inclusion of the GOCE gravity potential can improve the quasigeoid fit with the GPS/levelling ...

On the Applicability of Molodensky’s Concept of Heights in Planetary Sciences

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Geometric heights, defined with respect to a geometric reference surface, are the most commonly used in planetary studies, but the use of physical heights defined with respect to an equipotential surface (typically the geoid) has been also acknowledged ...

Local quasigeoid modelling in Slovakia using the finite volume method on the discretized Earth's topography

open access: yesContributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2020
The paper presents local quasigeoid modelling in Slovakia using the finite volume method (FVM). FVM is used to solve numerically the fixed gravimetric boundary value problem (FGBVP) on a 3D unstructured mesh created above the real Earth's surface ...

Performance Comparison of Deterministic and Stochastic Modifications in Stokes’s and Hotine’s Formulas: The Case of Jilin Province, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The high-precision regional geoid model provides important fundamental geospatial information for developing and applying many disciplines. Deterministic and stochastic modifications are applied to Stokes’s and Hotine’s formulas of geoid modeling to ...

Choosing the Optimal Global Digital Elevation Model for Stream Network Delineation: Beyond Vertical Accuracy

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Satellite‐derived global digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential for providing the topographic information needed in a wide range of hydrological applications. However, their use is limited by spatial resolution and vertical bias due to sensor limitations in observing bare terrain.

How to Find Accurate Terrain and Canopy Height GEDI Footprints in Temperate Forests and Grasslands?

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 11, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Filtering approaches on Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) data differ considerably across existing studies and it is yet unclear which method is the most effective. We conducted an in‐depth analysis of GEDI's vertical accuracy in mapping terrain and canopy heights across three study sites in temperate forests and grasslands in ...
