In EMRP SIB60 project we participate in the European Metrology Research Programme Joint Research Project “Metrology for long distance surveying”.
In addition to the tide gauges, sea level research nowadays is based on a number of measurement systems, which all have their own characteristics and deliver different type of observations. In order to analyze all observations they need to be available in a common reference frame.
The goal of the project is to build a jointly used laboratory and innovation environment for the study and development of smart maritime transport.
In Finland, there are free nationwide reference systems, EUREF-FIN coordinate system, N2000 height system and FOGN gravity system. On top of these there is a national geoid model FIN2005N00 that is a transformation surface between EUREF-FIN and N2000 heights. In this project, we research some aspects that support decision making when future reference systems are to be created.
In 2012-2013 FinnRef will be upgraded to a modern GNSS network.
This project is a coordinated effort among four partners from three EU members states (Netherlands, Sweden and Finland). The consortium provides GRC access to a range of facilities and expertise at the member state level for Galileo service performance monitoring.
