AbstractA network of pointwise available height anomalies, derived from levelling and GPS observations, can be densified by adjusting a gravimetric quasigeoid using least-squares collocation. The resulting type of Corrector Surface Model (CSM) is applied by Norwegian surveyors to convert ellipsoidal heights to normal heights expressed in the official height system NN2000. In this work, the uncertainty related to the use of a CSM to predict differences in height anomaly was sought. As previously, the application of variograms to determine the local statistical properties of the adopted collocation model led to predictions that were consistent with their computed uncertainties. For the purpose of predicting height anomaly differences, the effect of collocation was seen to be moderate in general for the small spatial separations considered (< 10 km). However, the relative impact of collocation could be appreciable, and increasing with distance, near the network. At last, it was argued that conservative uncertainties of height anomaly differences may be obtained by rescaling output of a grid interpolation by \sqrt \Delta, where Δ is the spatial separation of the two locations for which the difference is sought.

The key point researched by many scholars in the field of surveying and mapping is how to use the given geodetic height H measured by GPS to obtain the normal height. Although many commonly-used fitting methods have solved many problems, they all value the pending parameters as the nonrandom variables. Figuring out the best valuations, according to the traditional least square principle, only considers its trend or randomness, which is theoretically incomprehensive and have limitations in practice. Therefore, a method is needed not only considers its trend but also takes randomness into account. This method is called the least squares collocation.

Least-squares collocation is a powerful method for combining interpolation, filtering and parameter determination in one single computational step. We show that the method is applicable to the computation of polar motion values from a very large set of basic observational data. In this study, we use the ILS observations from 1900 to 1978.

A new gravimetric geoid model, the KW-FLGM2021, is developed for Kuwait in this study. This new geoid model is driven by a combination of the XGM2019e-combined global geopotential model (GGM), terrestrial gravity, and the SRTM 3 global digital elevation model with a spatial resolution of three arc seconds. The KW-FLGM2021 has been computed by using the technique of Least Squares Collocation (LSC) with Remove-Compute-Restore (RCR) procedure. To evaluate the external accuracy of the KW-FLGM2021 gravimetric geoid model, GPS/leveling data were used. As a result of this evaluation, the residual of geoid heights obtained from the KW-FLGM2021 geoid model is 2.2 cm. The KW-FLGM2021 is possible to be recommended as the first accurate geoid model for Kuwait.
