IMPROVING GNSS-DERIVED ELLIPSOIDAL HEIGHTS USING OBSERVED METEO DATA

Geodesy Engineering produces 3d coordinates (X,Y,H) and this science is infrastructure engineering. While geodesy engineering is used for the purpose of commercial activities that’s multidisciplinary sciences such as building, bridge, barrage, road build’s, architecture, geographic information systems, transportation, communication; but it is also aimed to be used for the purpose of scientific researches that’s meteorological and Earthquake Researches. The trueness of the coordinate directly effects multidisciplinary sciences conducted by Geodesy engineering. Study for Improvement of Ellipsoidal heights was firstly applied by Dr.Seyit Ali Yılmaz in Europe and positive improvements has been obtained but according to the PhD supervisors of Dr.Seyit Ali Yılmaz, more applications of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements should be done in different climate conditions. All scientific studies of concern to this proposal have been referred to Improvement Ellipsoidal Heights, which acronym is “IEHs”.
