The Hungarian Contribution to the Determination of a Precise European Reference Geoid

Currently the European Geoid Project is on-going aimed at the determination of a Precise European Reference Geoid [Torge, 1992; Denker and Torge, 1993]. In Hungary we are strongly interested in the success of this effort toward a new European quasigeoid solution improved in spatial resolution and accuracy. Therefore appropriate gravity data and elevations from Hungary have been made available for use in the computations. In exchange the resulting geoid solution for the area of Hungary will be provided. This geoid surface will be very important for a check of the individual local quasigeoid solutions determined by Hungarian institutions.
