FINAL QUALITY EVALUATION OF THE KINEMATIC MODEL OF THE EARTH-S CRUST HEIGHT MOVEMENT ON THE CROATIAN TERRITORY
Abstract
The paper presents a quality evaluation of the kinematic model concerning the relative height movement of the Earth-s crust that refers to the territory of the Republic of Croatia. This kinematic model enables determination of vertical displacements and movement speeds of discrete points on the Earth-s crust. So far, the quality of the model has been rated only for certain parts of the Croatian territory, but this paper shows the results of the model-s quality evaluation for the entire territory of the Republic of Croatia. The model-s quality is evaluated using the geometric levelling measurements of the 2nd order state network by applying the indirect quality assessment method. The criteria for measurement accuracy are determined at both the a priori and the a posteriori level and are expressed with reference probable errors. In the first case, the quality assessment is based on the levelling loop misclosures before network adjustment using the original and reduced measurements, and in the second case, on the network adjustment results using the original and the reduced measurements. The results indicate quite a successful elimination of the systematic effect of the relative height movements of the crust from the levelling measurements of the 2nd order network, leading to the final conclusion that the height movement kinematic model for the entire Croatian territory can be reliably used for the determination of regional relative height changes due to vertical crustal movements with the centimetre level of accuracy.
