Geoid or GNSS processing method? What determines the accurate determination of mountain peak heights?

24-02-2026

The height of mountain peaks can be determined using precise GNSS measurements. However, it should be remembered that GNSS gives the height relative to the ellipsoid – a mathematical reference surface – and not directly above sea level. To obtain the actual height above sea level, it is necessary to use a geoid model, which describes the physical surface corresponding to the average sea level. In addition, there are several methods available for processing GNSS data. So what has a greater impact on the accurate height determination in the mountains – the geoid model or the method of processing GNSS measurements? The answer to this question is presented in the latest article published in GPS Solutions.
