GPS-Techniques Applied to Geodesy and Surveying: Proceedings of the International GPS-Workshop Darmstadt, April 10 to 13, 1988 [Paperback]

GPS-Techniques Applied to Geodesy and Surveying contains the proceedings of an international workshop held in April 1988 at the Technical University in Darmstadt, Germany. It presents a state-of-the-art description of GPS techniques applied to geodesy and surveying with emphasis on monitoring time dependent phenomena. Theoretical, numerical, instrumental and rather general aspects of modern satellite positioning are treated. The articles are easy to read; the book addresses newcomers to the field as well as experts.Opening address.- Welcome addresses.- More than five years of GPS-experiments  Rethinking of geodesy.- President of the Arbeitskreis Triangulation of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen der L?nder der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.- Geodetic applications with GPS in Norway as part of a global cooperation.- GPS geodesy with centimeter accuracy.- Relativistic effects in GPS.- Relativistic models of phase and Doppler observations of electromagnetic signals.- The use of GPS at IGN : Geodesy, geophysics, engineering.- GPS applications of CTS.- Ageden  An application of GPS for geodynamic investigations in Austria.- Investigation of an alternate method of processing global positioning survey data collected in kinematic mode.- Experiences with the WM 101 GPS receiver.- ?land GPS levelling experiment in 1987 preliminary report on the results.- Experiences with TRIMBLE receivers in the control network of the F.
