Abstract
The article describes the correction of the results of measurements of electronic total station сarried out at the ash dump of «MPDS Topar» LLP. The statistical processing of horizontal laying of geodetic measurements was carried out, and the analysis of the obtained results of statistical data processing was performed. The need for these calculations is due to the fact that the results of linear measurements revealed a significant difference between the values obtained at different times of the day. This indicates the influence of the atmosphere on the measurement results carried out by electronic laser devices. Analysis of the results of correction of linear measurements showed that the influence of the atmosphere on the results of electronic total station measurements at a distance of 1,6 km significantly depends on the actual values of temperature and pressure, and it is unacceptable to neglect the difference between the real values of atmospheric quantities from their standard values at such distances. After analyzing the results of the calculations, conclusions were drawn on the implementation of geodetic measurements and the choice of the time of day in which the atmosphere does not affect the results of electronic total station
