Refined astrogravimetric geoid in Poland - Part 1
(2010) Łyszkowicz, Adam
Deflections of the vertical were traditionally used for modelling geoid on local and regional scale. First astrogeodetic geoid model for Poland was developed in 1961 while the last was calculated in 2005 in the framework of the project on precise geoid modelling. That model was developed using the improved deflections of the vertical, both astronomic and gravimetric. There are several effects, that were not fully considered, and problems that were not completely solved. They concern quality of archival astrogravimetric data, problem of weighting, the effects of plumb line curvature and elimination of outlying observations. In addition, all those geoid models were determined with the use of simplified astronomical levelling approach. The aim of this study was to improve the astrogravimetric geoid model in Poland by improving the procedure of astrogravimetric geoid modelling and by using improved data. In the part I of this paper theoretical background of astronomic levelling and least squares collocation methods are given. Then the accuracy of the components of the deflections of the vertical was estimated and the weights of astrogeodetic and astrogravimetric deflections of the vertical were determined. After that in the part II ( Geomatics and Environmental Engineering , Vol. 4, No. 2, in print) the astrogeodetic and astrogravimetric geoid models were determined from improved deflections of the vertical with the use of astronomical levelling. Other astrogeodetic and astrogravimetric geoid models were determined by least squares collocation with additional use of gravity anomalies. All models were compared with the GPS/levelling geoid of the satellite POLREF network. The results obtained indicate that both astrogeodetic and astrogravimetric geoid models determined from the same input data using least squares collocation approach is by factor 5 to 7 more accurate than the ones obtained using classical astronomical levelling.

All four computed models were compared with the GPS/levelling geoid of the satellite POLREF network. The results obtained indicate that both astrogeodetic and astrogravimetric geoid models determined from the same input data using least squares collocation approach is by factor 5 to 7 more accurate than the ones obtained using classical astronomical levelling.
