| Abstract: | The evaluation of deflections of the vertical for the area of Greece is attempted using a combination of topographic and astrogeodetic
data. Tests carried out in the area bounded by 35°≤ϕ≤42°, 19°≤λ≤27° indicate that an accuracy of ±3″.3 can be obtained in
this area for the meridian and prime vertical deflection components when high resolution topographic data in the immediate
vicinity of computation points are used, combined with high degree spherical harmonic expansions of the geopotential and isostatic
reduction potential. This accuracy is about 25% better than the corresponding topographic-Moho deflection components which
are evaluated using topographic and Moho data up to 120 km around each station, without any combination with the spherical
harmonic expansion of the geopotential or isostatic reduction potential. The accuracy in both cases is increased to about
2″.6 when the astrogeodetic data available in the area mentioned above are used for the prediction of remaining values. Furthermore
the estimation of datum-shift parameters is attempted using least squares collocation. |
