Strength of long lines in terrestrial geodetic control networks
Abstract a knowledge of the à posteriori accuracy of long lines in classical triangulation networks is important not only for establishing the quality of existing primary national control networks, but also for assessing the likely contribution of satellite derived observations. Extensive tests carried out with various networks, ranging from a basic triangulation chain to Block VI of the European Triangulation Network, show definite trends. The à posteriori standard errors of both the scale and the orientation of an adjusted line diminish considerably as the length of the line increases. In the case of medium sized countries, the results compare favourably with those predicted for satellite derived data. The conclusions emphasize the need for great care in the reduction of terrestrial observations and the elimination of all possible systematic errors before proceeding with a least squares adjustment.
