Description:

Determination of heights with help of GPS in local geodetic networks is still more actual respecting the fact that the GPS technology becames more and more effective with hardware progress, with improvements in measuring and evaluating procedures, and with better modelling of the disturbing influences. In comparison with GPS the employment of classical terrestrial measuring technologies is often more difficult namely in broken mountain environment. In period 1998-2005 authors carried out repeated measurements of GPS baselines of various length and various height differences in local geodynamical network Sněžník and in other experimental areas. On ground of analyses of large GPS data sets the modified procedure for GPS observation was designed. The procedure is based on repetition of shorter static sessions separated by time intervals of optimal length. This technology represents an alternative to the ususal long static sessions, and is offering better effectivity of vertical GPS measurements with minimal loss of accuracy. The paper presents detailed description of the modified procedure together with some statistical analyses of results. The possibilities of elimination or mitigation of some disturbing influences are discussed. Two testing vertical profiles were marked in Sněžník network- longitudinal profile in N-S direction, and transversal profile in E-W direction - which were measured in course of several years by classical method of very precise levelling, and also by modified GPS heighting procedure in repeated sessions. Results obtained contributed to the local quasigeoid model creation., Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Radovan Machotka., and Obsahuje bibliografii
