Differential Leveling
Requires a series of set ups of the instrument along the general route and, for each set up, a rod reading back to a point of known elevation and forward to a point of unknown elevation
CHECKS: 1. Rerunning levels on the same route 2. Tying on to a previously established BM near the end of the level line 3. Returning to the initial BM level loop

USEFUL WHEN: There is an urgent need to undertake differential leveling in a short period of time where no established bench marks are available for checking results. Running a long line of levels which do not close back on the initial BM

Requirements: 1. Rod should be calibrated at frequent intervals by comparison with a standard length. 2. Rod should have an attached rod level for plumbing.

4. Level should be protected from the sun by an umbrella 5. Level tripod should be set very firmly on the ground to prevent settlement 6. Shortest possible time elapse bet. BS & FS is desirable in order to eliminate, as nearly as possible, the effects of: variations in atm. Refraction Settlement of the tripod Warping of the level

Profile Leveling
= process of determining elevation of points at short measured intervals along a fixed line stakes or other marks are placed @ regular intervals along an established line, usually the center line. ordinarily the interval bet. Stakes is 100m, 50m, 20m and 10m.
Used during the location and construction of the ff.: 1. Highways 2. Railroads 3. Canals 4. Sewers

2. Trigonometric Leveling
zenith or vertical angle AND horizontal or slope distance difference in elevation is calculated
3. Stadia Leveling
consists of observing through the telescope, the apparent locations of two stadia hairs on the rod, which is held in a vertical position.

4. Barometric Leveling
measuring the differences in atmospheric pressure at various stations by means of a barometer. pressure is inversely proportional with elevation.

4. Barometric Leveling
Example: Given the elevation of an upper base of 275 ft, of a lower base of 56ft; the difference in elevation between the bases, therefore is 275 56 f= 219 ft. At a given instant, the three altimeter readings indicate that the difference in elevation of an intermediate point from the upper base is 209 ft. and from the lower base is 25 ft; therefore, the indicated total difference in elevation between bases is 234 ft. The corrected differences in elevation are approximately (219/234)(209) = 196 ft (from the upper base) and (219/234)(25) = 23 ft (from the lower base); as a check, the total computed difference in elevtaion between bases is now 196 + 23 = 219 ft. The elevation of the point is 79 ft, computed by difference from either base (275 196 = 79 ft; or 56 + 2).3 = 79 ft

4. Barometric Leveling
QUIZ: Given the ff data gathered from an altimeter survey: Elevation of the upper base is 518m; elevation of the lower base is 122m; barometer reading at the upper base is 2708Pa and barometer reading at the lower base is 5954Pa. If the barometer reading at a field station is 4150Pa, determine the elevation of the station.
