| description | A conventional transformation model between different realizations of a vertical reference system is an important tool for geodetic studies related to precise vertical positioning and physical height determination. Its fundamental role is the evaluation of the consistency for colocated vertical reference frames that are obtained from different observation techniques, data sources or optimal estimation strategies in terms of an appropriate set of “vertical datum perturbation” parameters. Our scope herein is to discuss a number of key issues related to the formulation of such a transformation model and to present some simple examples from its practical implementation in the comparison of existing vertical frames over Europe. |
