Abstract: | GPS-levelling points are widely used to control gravimetric geoid or quasigeoid models. Direct comparison is often interpreted
to reveal the accuracy of the gravimetric model, using GPS-levelling as a reference. However, both GPS and levelled heights
contain errors, and in order to achieve a centimeter-accuracy geoid, these should be investigated. The Norwegian Height System
NN1954 is known to contain large systematic errors due to postglacial land uplift in the area. In this study, the current
height system and two revised versions, corrected for uplift, are applied to compute three sets of control quasigeoid heights
in the southern part of Norway. These heights are then compared to various Nordic gravimetric quasigeoid models generated
during the last two decades. In contradiction to some earlier studies, the accuracy of gravimetric quasigeoid models for this
area are found to improve near-linearly with time. This is in accordance with expectations, since both data coverage and computation
methods have progressed during this time. However, this study shows the importance of establishing accurate and error-free
control data for geoid comparisons. |
