A reference ellipsoid.
The heights determined by GPS measurements are
originally ellipsoidal. These heights are then generally
converted to orthometric heights, also known as
elevations, by modeling the differences between the geoid
and the reference ellipsoid at the newly observed stations
using connections to control points with known orthometric
points. - Answer-The heights determined by uncorrected
GPS measurements refer first to what?
Dilution Of Precision.
A measurement of the geometric strength of the satellite
configuration at a particular moment. - Answer-What is the
meaning of DOP in GPS?

Land built by accretion belongs to the riparian owner. -
Answer-Title to land may be gained or lost by the action of
water. What sort of change may cause a riparian owner to
gain land?
Existant - can be found by its monumentation,
accessories, field notes or other evidence
Obliterated - cannot be located by evidence of its
monumentation or accessories, but may be located
beyond a reasonable doubt by testimony or some
acceptable record evidence.
Lost - a lost corner cannot be located by testimony,
physical, or record evidence. A lost corner can only be
reestablished by reference to other known corners. -
Answer-Existant vs. Obliterated vs. Lost corners in Public
Land Surveys
A full 18.6 years is required for the relative positions of the
sun, moon, and earth to be repeated. This tidal cycle is
often rounded off to 19 years. - Answer-To accurately
determine mean high tide, how long must a given station
be monitored?

A riparian owner may lose title to land that gradually
becomes eroded or permanently inundated with water. If
the change is sudden, however, the title will not change. -
Answer-Title to land may be gained or lost by the action of
water. What sort of change may cause a riparian owner to
lose land?
The gradual and imperceptible process of building up of
new land by the action of water. - Answer-Define
"accretion"
a sudden, perceptible loss or addition of land caused by
the action of water. An example is when a river suddenly
breaks it banks and forms a new channel, thereby cutting
off a large portion of land. - Answer-Define "avulsion"
A six-channel receiver has hardware that is dedicated to
one satellite signal and can track that signal continuously
constitutes a channel.
Some GPS receivers track several satellites by reading
each signal individually in a sequence. These receivers
may track four, six, or more satellites sequentially, but not
