GNSS-derived ellipsoid heights are the basis for GNSS-derived orthometric heights, so it makes sense to make these ellipsoid heights as close to error free as possible. This article will discuss guidelines for detecting, reducing andr eliminating error sources in ellipsoid heights. It will focus on guidelines for establishing accurate ellipsoid heights in a local geodetic network. (Part 2 of a series)
