The Austrian Qeoid - Recent Steps to a New Solution

摘要

A refined version of the Austrian geoid with the working title "GEOID 2000" will be released after the IAG General Assembly in Sapporo. The project was worked out in a cooperation of the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying and the Technical University of Graz, Institute of Geodesy. The territory of Austria serves as an ideal test area for the different computational methods concerning usability and accessible precision as well as for the compatibility of the available datasets. An overview of the computation process as well as the key figur es of the new geoid are discussed.
