GNSS observations carried out in a network of permanent stations are a complex systems which offer post-processing as well as corrections sent in real-time and the creation of so-called virtual observations. Currently, there are several Network-based Real Time Kinematic (NRTK) services around the world. In Poland, such a system has been in operation since June 2008, known as the Polish Active Geodetic Network (ASG-EUPOS). Three real-time correction services and two postprocessing services are currently used by users. NRTK technique uses GNSS observations gathered from a network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) in order to generate more reliable error models that can mitigate the distance dependent errors within the area covered by the CORS. This method has been developed and tested considerably by many scientists during recent years. These studies have demonstrated the high centimeter accuracy that can be achieved using NRTK technique. This study analyzed the accuracy of the height determination with NRTK measurements using ASG-EUPOS. The results obtained show that RTK ASG-EUPOS height measurements are characterized by high precision, but the normal height measurements compared to the height measurements obtained from precise leveling, probably due to some systematic errors (the mean of many measurements differs significantly from the actual value) are not so accurate. In this case, fitting NRTK results to a precise leveling network may significantly improve the results. In presented test this resulted in reducing NRTK normal height determination errors by 70 percent.
