• Description:
  The field coordinates from inertial survey systems exhibit systematic error which must be reduced by postmission processing. Desirable qualities of an inertial survey least-squares adjustment are discussed, and an adjustment program using the Gregerson 12 parameter model is described. Several adjustments of inertial observations in southwest Arizona test the Gregerson model and indicate the precision of the data. Possible improvements in the observational model and adjustment program are then examined.
