This invention belongs to the field of
geodesy and geophysical exploration technology, and discloses a method for transoceanic elevation transfer and global elevation datum unification using multi-frequency, multi-mode GNSS. The method includes: Step 1, deploying multi-frequency, multi-mode GNSS receivers at multiple local leveling / gravity measurement points and simultaneously conducting GNSS static observations; Step 2, acquiring
satellite precision
clock track products; Step 3, calculating the
gravitational potential at the
satellite's location; Step 4, using a model for determining
gravitational potential and altitude based on single-
station non-differential multi-frequency, multi-mode GNSS signals to calculate the altitude of ground measurement points; Step 5, iteratively executing steps 1-4 to obtain the altitude of each transoceanic
observation point; Step 6, obtaining the elevation difference between two different transoceanic measurement points through difference calculation; Step 7, determining the elevation datum difference between the two different transoceanic locations based on the
least squares method, thus achieving the unification of transoceanic elevation datums. This invention overcomes the long-standing problem of transoceanic and transsea elevation transfer and achieves the unification of global elevation datums.
