The canonical height on an abelian variety is useful and important for the study of the Mordell-Weil group. But it is difficult to calculate the canonical height in general. We give an effective method to calculate the canonical height on a Jacobian surface. As an application, we verify the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for the Jacobian surface of a twisted modular curve.
