Overview
- Provides the definition of most height systems in use and to the relative transformations
- Gives rigorous observation equations for a classical technique like spirit leveling, showing that contrary to the geodetic practice it is natural to use normal heights instead of orthometric heights
- Acquaints the reader with an up-to-date problem, namely the definition and use of global and regional height reference systems
