Towards a vertical datum standardisation under the umbrella of Global Geodetic Observing System
2012 · cited by 37
Fairchild et al. (2012) highlight that the Global Geodetic Observing System promotes the standardisation of height systems worldwide to provide a reliable reference frame for consistent global geodetic and gravity field modelling.
