Abstract:This paper is written as a progression of the ongoing discussion in geodesy about the merits of the Molodensky height system versus the classical height system. It is a rebuttal of a publication in the Proceedings of the IX Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Mathematical Geodesy by Victor Popadyev titled “On the Advantage of Normal Heights: Once More on the Shape of Quasigeoid.” Even though Popadyev’s paper was not presented at the symposium it was published in the proceedings regardless. It purports to address a pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
