Abstract
According to general relativity theory, the geopotential difference can be determined by comparing the clocks’ vibration frequencies or running rates. We conducted experiments to determine the geopotential difference between two remote sites with a height difference of about 1,245 m using two sets of hydrogen maser systems via precise point position time-frequency transfer technique. Two equipment sets were installed at one site or two remote sites to form the local or remote time-frequency transfer link. The gravity frequency shift between two hydrogen masers at two remote sites is derived from the resolved clock offset series, taking into account the local time-frequency transfer link as calibration. Then the geopotential difference is determined as 12,142.3 (112.4) m2/s2, quite close to the value 12,153.3 (2.3) m2/s2 computed by the EIGEN-6C4 model. Results show that the method proposed here for determining geopotential difference is promising for broad applications.
