Abstract:
Recently, a new national height reference system was implemented: the Slovenian Height System 2010 (SVS2010). This new system replaced the Slovenian Height System 2000 (SVS2000). It is a new realisation of a national height system, which is based on new levelling and gravity surveys and recent tide gauge data. Its implementation changes the height datum (from Trieste to Koper) as well as the type of heights (from normal-orthometric to normal). Consequently, differences between the old and new height reference systems from 1.4 cm to 30.8 cm were detected. Unfortunately, there is no simple transformation between the two height reference systems. The surveyor must choose an appropriate method of local transformation or recalculation based on the given data and the required accuracy. To provide all necessary information for the users, the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia has, in cooperation with the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering at the University of Ljubljana, prepared a new Technical instruction for the use of the new national height system. Online software called SiVis is also available for converting GNSS-based heights into both height reference systems (SVS2000 and SVS2010). Due to some problems with the (old) AMG2000/Trst geoid model near the national boundary, this model was extrapolated to a buffer covering parts of neighbouring countries. EPSG codes for both national height reference systems of Slovenia were also created.
