摘要:We have developed a new hybrid geoid model of Japan, “GSIGEO2011”, which was made publicly available on April 1, 2014. The model was created in such a way that a high-resolution gravimetric geoid model for Japan, “JGEOID2008” was fitted to GNSS/leveling geoid undulations at 971 sites by the Least-Squares Collocation method. The model reproduces geoid heights at the GNSS/leveling sites with the consistency of a standard deviation of 1.8 cm. By utilizing the model to convert GNSS-derived three-dimensional positions to orthometric heights, GNSS survey can determine orthometric heights at the same precision as third-order leveling surveys. Orthometric height determination by GNSS surveying has been applicable in public surveys as alternative to third-order leveling in Japan since April 1 2014.
