Abstract

This technical report describes the levelling and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) results for stations on the MPQ (Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik) campus in Garching, aiming at the derivation of relativistic redshift corrections for novel clock comparison experiments. The underlying observations were carried out mainly in the year 2016, but supplementary information and data were also considered until the end of 2018. The (relative) accuracy of the levelled heights within the internal network on the MPQ campus is estimated to be better than 1 – 2 mm, which is based on the raw double-run levelling discrepancies and loop misclosures involving also stations on rooftops of buildings. The accuracy of the GNSS (ellipsoidal) heights is estimated to be better than 1 cm. The consistency between the levelled and GNSS heights was evaluated internally by approximating the quasigeoid by a horizontal plane as well as externally by comparing with a gravimetric quasigeoid model, yielding maximum residuals of only 2 – 3 mm.
