The geoid or quasigeoid – which reference surface should be preferred for a national height system?
Most European states use M. S. Molodensky’s concept of normal heights for their height systems with a quasigeoid model as the reference surface, while the rest of the world rely on orthometric heights with the geoid as the zero-level. Considering the advances in data caption and theory for geoid and...
