Abstract
Gravimetric data, levelling, and precise position fixes using artificial satellites or the Moon could be combined to estimate the potential difference between benchmarks situated far apart to an accuracy of a few tenths of kgal m. This is substantially better than what can be obtained with tide gauges, which are affected by the stationary sea surface topography. A set of these benchmarks can link national and continental levelling nets into a unified World Vertical Network.
