Approximations of the GOCE error variance-covariance matrix for least-squares estimation of height datum offsets

One main geodetic objective of the European Space Agency’s satellite mission GOCE (gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer) is the contribution to global height system unification. This can be achieved by applying the Geodetic Boundary Value Problem (GBVP) approach. Thereby one est...
