The assessment of the accuracy of the model ΔHKronstadt′60–KRON86: raw data (the points of the reference network) and after adjustments (the Danish method)

ParameterRaw dataThe Danish method
Average [cm]–8.2–8.2
Deviation [cm]0.90.6
Maximum [cm]–6.4–6.9
Minimum [cm]–10.5–9.6
Curtosis–0.11–0.04
Skewness–0.24–0.01
