Geopotential difference determination using optic-atomic clocks via coaxial cable time transfer technique and a synthetic test

According to the general theory of relativity, two clocks placed at two different positions with different geopotentials run at different rates. Thus one can determine the geopotential difference between these two points by comparing the running rates of the two clocks. Using the most precise optic-...
