Abstract.
Different kinds of analytical models of vertical curstal deformation have both advantages and disadvantages, and are appropriate to different deformation patterns. It is difficult to identify which deformation model is most suitable for a particular deformation area. In order to obtain a more precise and reliable analytical result, the combined model based on forecast theory has been approached. As a result, the fitting ability of single models is significantly improved. The combined model still possesses the same important features as the single models, which enable transferal of the derived crustal deformation information, within or even outside the time span of the data coverage, from geodetic sites to any user-specified locations where geodetic data may not exist. Examples are presented of both numerical simulation and a real-life situation, and the results are analysed in detail to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology.
