Abstract

The principle and application of the vertical crustal deformation model from the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and levelling in the time and position domains are discussed in this paper. Many attempts are made to address the height datum inhomogeneity problem between the GPS ellipsoid height and the levelling orthometric height. Corresponding observation and computation strategies are designed. A special statistical technique is imposed to test the validity of the model developed. The numerical example shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the approach.
