Fast and accurate relative positioning for baselines less than 20 km in length is possible using dual-frequency Global Positioning
System (GPS) receivers. By measuring orthometric heights of a few GPS stations by differential levelling techniques, the geoid
undulation can be modelled, which enables GPS to be used for orthometric height determination in a much faster and more economical
way than terrestrial methods. The geoid undulation anomaly can be very useful for studying tectonic structure. GPS, levelling
and gravity measurements were carried out along a 200-km-long highly undulating profile, at an average elevation of 4000 m,
in the Ladak region of NW Himalaya, India. The geoid undulation and gravity anomaly were measured at 28 common GPS-levelling
and 67 GPS-gravity stations. A regional geoid low of nearly −4 m coincident with a steep negative gravity gradient is compatible
with very recent findings from other geophysical studies of a low-velocity layer 20–30 km thick to the north of the India–Tibet
plate boundary, within the Tibetan plate. Topographic, gravity and geoid data possibly indicate that the actual plate boundary
is situated further north of what is geologically known as the Indus Tsangpo Suture Zone, the traditionally supposed location
of the plate boundary. Comparison of the measured geoid with that computed from OSU91 and EGM96 gravity models indicates that
GPS alone can be used for orthometric height determination over the Higher Himalaya with 1–2 m accuracy.

The Western Alps are among the best studied collisional belts with both detailed structural mapping and also crustal geophysical
investigations such as the ECORS and EGT seismic profile. By contrast, the present-day kinematics of the belt is still largely
unknown due to small relative motions and the insufficient accuracy of the triangulation data. As a consequence, several tectonic
problems still remain to be solved, such as the amount of N–S convergence in the Occidental Alps, the repartition of the deformation
between the Alpine tectonic units, and the relation between deformation and rotation across the Alpine arc. In order to address
these problems, the GPS ALPES group, made up of French, Swiss and Italian research organizations, has achieved the first large-scale
GPS surveys of the Western Alps. More than 60 sites were surveyed in 1993 and 1998 with a minimum observation of 3 days at
each site. GPS data processing has been done by three independent teams using different software. The different solutions
have horizontal repeatabilities (N–E) of 4–7 mm in 1993 and 2–3 mm in 1998 and compare at the 3–5-mm level in position and
2-mm/yr level in velocity. A comparison of 1993 and 1998 coordinates shows that residual velocities of the GPS marks are generally
smaller than 2 mm/yr, precluding a detailed tectonic interpretation of the differential motions. However, these data seem
to suggest that the N–S compression of the Western Alps is quite mild (less than 2 mm/yr) compared to the global convergence
between the African and Eurasian plate (6 mm/yr). This implies that the shortening must be accomodated elsewhere by the deformation
of the Maghrebids and/or by rotations of Mediterranean microplates. Also, E–W velocity components analysis supports the idea
that E–W extension exists, as already suggested by recent structural and seismotectonic data interpretation.

The 2 arc-minute × 2 arc-minute geoid model (GEOID96) for the United States supports the conversion between North American
Datum 1983 (NAD 83) ellipsoid heights and North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88) Helmert heights. GEOID96 includes information
from global positioning system (GPS) height measurements at optically leveled benchmarks. A separate geocentric gravimetric
geoid, G96SSS, was first calculated, then datum transformations and least-squares collocation were used to convert from G96SSS
to GEOID96.
Fits of 2951 GPS/level (ITRF94/NAVD 88) benchmarks to G96SSS show a 15.1-cm root mean square (RMS) around a tilted plane (0.06 ppm,
178∘ azimuth), with a mean value of −31.4 cm (15.6-cm RMS without plane). This mean represents a bias in NAVD 88 from global mean
sea level, remaining nearly constant when computed from subsets of benchmarks. Fits of 2951 GPS/level (NAD 83/NAVD 88) benchmarks
to GEOID96 show a 5.5-cm RMS (no tilts, zero average), due primarily to GPS error. The correlated error was 2.5 cm, decorrelating
at 40 km, and is due to gravity, geoid and GPS errors. Differences between GEOID96 and GEOID93 range from −122 to +374 cm
due primarily to the non-geocentricity of NAD 83.

Prediction of surface horizontal displacements, and gravity and tilt changes caused by filling the Three Gorges Reservoir 总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11
Horizontal displacements, and gravity and tilt changes induced by filling the Three Gorges Reservoir are modeled using elastic
loading Green functions. When the water surface reaches its highest level, the effects become maximum on the reservoir banks.
The longitudinal and latitudinal components of the horizontal displacements reach −8.2 and 7.7 mm respectively, gravity is
increased by up to 3.4 mGal, and the prime vertical and meridian components of the tilt changes are −7.8 and −17.5 arcseconds
respectively. Accordingly, the filling of the reservoir will influence values observed from global positioning system (GPS),
gravimetry and tilt measurements in the area. The results given can be used to provide important corrections for extracting
earthquake-related signals from observed data.

Atmospheric modelling in GPS analysis and its effect on the estimated geodetic parameters 总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2
Permanently operating Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers are used today, for example, in precise positioning and determination
of atmospheric water vapour content. The GPS signals are delayed by various gases when traversing the atmosphere. The delay
due to water vapour, the wet delay, is difficult to model using ground surface data and is thus often estimated from the GPS
data. In order to obtain the most accurate results from the GPS processing, a modelling of the horizontal distribution of
the wet delay may be necessary. Through simulations, three such models are evaluated, one of which is developed in this paper.
In the first model the water vapour is assumed to be horizontally stratified, thus the wet delay can be described by only
one zenith parameter. The second model gives the wet delay with one zenith and two horizontal gradient parameters. The third
model uses the correlation between the wet-delay values in different directions. It is found that for large gradients and
strong turbulence the two latter models yield lower errors in the estimated vertical coordinate and wet-delay parameters.
For large gradients this improvement is up to 7 mm in the zenith wet-delay parameter, from 9 mm down to 2 and 4 mm for the
second and third models, respectively.

Due to the maximum of the solar cycle, ionospheric activity increased considerably last year. At frequent times warning were
sent out announcing geomagnetic storms disturbing the ionospheric electron content. In this article the influence of such
geomagnetic storms on fast and precise GPS positioning (for surveying applications at midlatitude regions) is studied. And
here with “fast” it is aimed at the shortest observation time possible: carrier ambiguity resolution and position estimation
using only one single epoch of data. To apply this instantaneous data processing technique successfully to GPS baselines of
medium length (up to 50 km), additional ionospheric information is inevitable, not only under geomagnetic storm but also under
more quiet conditions. However, in this article it will be shown that under geomagnetic storm conditions, even for rather
short baselines (<10 km), for which the ionospheric delays under more quiet conditions could be neglected, one has to account
for significant relative ionospheric delays. Therefore an important facet of this contribution is the investigation of how
to process baselines of varying length in a more uniform way, making use of a permanent GPS network (if available in the surveying
area) and a stochastic modeling technique of the ionospheric delays. ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Geodetic measurements from 1963 through 1994 are used to estimate horizontal strain rates across the Red River fault near
Thac Ba, Vietnam. Whether or not this fault system is currently active is a subject of some debate. By combining: (1) triangulation
from 1963, (2) triangulation in 1983, and (3) Global Positioning System (GPS) observations in 1994, horizontal shear strain
rates are estimated without imposing any prior information on fixed stations. The estimated rates of shear strain in ten triangular
subnetworks surrounding the fault trace are not significantly different from zero at 95% confidence. The maximum rate of dextral
shear is less than 0.3 μrad/year in all but one of the triangles. The estimates help bound the slip rate in a simple elastic
dislocation model for a locked, vertical strike-slip fault. By assuming a locking depth of 5–20 km, the most likely values
for the deep slip rate are between 1 and 5 mm/year of right-lateral motion. These values delimit the 23% confidence interval.
At 95% confidence, the slip rate estimate falls between 7 mm/year of left-lateral motion and 15 mm/year of right-lateral motion.

The passive satellite GFZ-1 has been orbiting the Earth since April 1995. The purpose of this mission is to improve the current
knowledge of the Earth's gravity field by analysing gravitational orbit perturbations observed at unique low altitudes, below
400 km. GFZ-1 is one target of the international satellite laser ranging ground network. An evaluation of the first 30 months
of GFZ-1 laser tracking data led to a new version of the global GRIM4-S4 satellite-only gravity field model: GRIM4-S4G. Information
was obtained from GFZ-1 data for spherical harmonic coefficients up to degree 100, which was not possible in any earlier satellite-only
gravity field solution. GFZ-1's contribution to a global 5 × 5° geoid and gravity field representations is moderate but visible
with a 1 cm and 0.1 mGal gain in accuracy on a level of 75 cm and 5 mGal, respectively.

Summary Many GPS networks which were initially surveyed with Texas Instruments TI-4100 receivers have now been resurveyed with mixtures of TI-4100 and Trimble 4000 receivers or exclusively with Trimble receivers. In order to make confident tectonic interpretation of displacements observed between such surveys, it is necessary to understand any biases which may be introduced by using different receiver types or by mixing receivers within a network. Therefore, one of the primary objectives of the Ecuador 1990 GPS campaign (February 1990) was to provide a direct long baseline comparison between the TI-4100 and Trimble 4000SDT GPS receivers. p ]During this campaign, TI and Trimble receivers were co-located at each end of a 1323 kilometer baseline (Jerusalen to Baltra). Solutions for this baseline show no variation with receiver type. Zero-length baseline solutions showed no evidence for any intrinsic bias caused by mixing the two receiver types. Short baseline solutions indicate a bias of -34±10 mm in the baseline vertical component; the sign of the bias indicates that either the assumed phase center location for the TI is too low or the assumed location for the Trimble is too high. The bias is explainable if the phase centers of the Trimble SDT and SST antennas are similarly located. p ]Solutions for baselines measured with codeless receivers (such as the Trimble) should be as precise as those for baselines measured with P-code receivers (such as the TI) as long as it is possible to resolve ambiguities. Resolution of the widelane ambiguity is the limiting factor in ambiguity resolution with any codeless receiver, and in the February 1990 campaigns it was not successful fore baselines longer than 100 km. Without explicit modeling of the ionospheric effect on the widelane, ambiguity resolution with codeless receivers will not be successful for baselines longer than about 100 km, depending on the local ionospheric conditions. 相似文献

Analysis of the EUREF-89 GPS data from the SLR/VLBI sites 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In May 1989, the IAG Subcommission for the European Reference Frame organized a GPS measurement campaign, called EUREF-89, to establish a common European Reference Frame. During a 2-week period various types of GPS receivers were deployed at about 100 different locations in Europe, which included many national geodetic first order points and most of the well-known SLR and VLBI sites. In this study, the measurements from those SLR and VLBI sites, and three additional points in The Netherlands, have been analyzed adopting a fiducial network approach. In the first place, the study provided valuable experience in the use of the GIPSY software for the analysis of GPS data from large networks equipped with a mixture of receiver types. Furthermore, this analysis represents an independent check of the SLR/VLBI network, used as the reference frame for the official EUREF solution. Daily solutions of baselines up to 2500 km in length have been obtained with a repeatability of 0.5–2.0 parts in 108, while the agreement with SLR results is at about the same level. The accuracy of the estimated coordinates is at a level of about 4.0 cm in the horizontal and 6.0 cm in the vertical direction. Of particular interest are the results for some baselines in Greece, which have also been measured by mobile SLR in the framework of the WEGENER/MEDLAS project. The GPS results seem to confirm the trends in the baseline length changes emerging from those SLR studies. 相似文献

The New Hebrides experiment consisted of setting up a pair of DORIS beacons in remote tropical islands in the southwestern
Pacific, between 1993 and 1997. Because of orbitography requirements on TOPEX/Poséidon, the beacons were only transmitting
to SPOT satellites. Root-mean-square (RMS) scatters at the centimeter level on the latitude and vertical components were achieved,
but 2-cm RMS scatters affected the longitude component. Nevertheless, results of relative velocity (123 mm/year N250°) are
very consistent with those obtained using the global positioning system (GPS) (126 mm/yr N246°). The co-seismic step (12 mm
N60°) related to the Walpole event (M
W = 7.7) is consistent with that derived from GPS (10 mm N30°) or from the centroid moment tensor (CMT) of the quake (12 mm
N000°).

Estimates of ocean tide loading displacements and its impact on position time series in Hong Kong using a dense continuous GPS network 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Three-dimensional ocean tide loading (OTL) displacements of eight diurnal and semidiurnal constituents at 12 sites in Hong
Kong were estimated using 3–7 years of continuous global positioning system (GPS) observations. OTL displacements were estimated
using the precise point positioning (PPP) technique on a daily basis and then combined. The OTL displacements obtained by
GPS were compared with predictions using seven recent global ocean tide models. The effect of OTL displacements on GPS position
time series was also investigated. The study shows that the GPS-derived OTL displacements (excluding K1 and K2 constituents)
agree best with those predicted by the GOT4.7 and NAO99b models. The GPS/model agreement is generally at the sub-millimeter
level, except for S2, K1, and K2 constituents with relatively large errors. After systematic biases between the GPS and model
values are removed, the misfits of all sites for M2, S2, N2, O1, P1, and Q1 are less than 0.5 and 1.0 mm in the horizontal
and vertical components, respectively, while larger misfits (within 2.5 mm) are observed for K1 and K2. Integer ambiguity
fixing slightly improves the east component of OTL displacement estimates. The study also finds that GPS-derived OTL corrections,
instead of model predicts, can be used in daily data processing with the exception of K1 and K2. Including K2 corrections,
a secular vertical rate of up to 1 mm/year in position time series can be induced, which needs to be confirmed by further
studies. 相似文献

GPS precision as a function of session duration and reference frame using multi-point software 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
As an aid to survey design, we used data acquired from three European continuous GPS networks to test the precision of position
estimates from static observations as a function of the length of the observing session and the number and distribution of
reference stations. Our criterion was the weighted RMS of estimates over 31 days with respect to coordinates determined from
24-h sessions over a 2-year period. With a single reference station, a precision of 3 mm horizontal and 10 mm vertical could
be achieved reliably only for session lengths of 3 h or longer and baselines less than 200 km. If four or more reference stations
are used, these levels of precision were usually achieved with sessions as short as 2 h. With sessions 6 h or longer and four
or more reference stations, the precision is typically 1–2 mm in horizontal and about 3–5 mm in vertical. Increasing the number
of reference stations further provides only marginal improvement. Although there is some variation in precision in 4-station
networks with the choice of reference stations, the dependence on distance and geometric distribution is weak. 相似文献

Unification of vertical datums by GPS and gravimetric geoid models with application to Fennoscandia 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
The second Baltic Sea Level (BSL) GPS campaign was run for one week in June 1993. Data from 35 tide gauge sites and five
fiducial stations were analysed, for three fiducial stations (Onsala, Mets?hovi and Wettzell) fixed at the ITRF93 system.
On a time-scale of 5 days, precision was several parts in 109 for the horizontal and vertical components. Accuracies were about 1 cm in comparison with the International GPS Geodynamical
Service (IGS) coordinates in three directions. To connect the Swedish and the Finnish height systems, our numerical application
utilises three approaches: a rigorous approach, a bias fit and a three-parameter fit. The results between the Swedish RH70
and the Finnish N 60 systems are estimated to −19.3 ± 6.5, −17 ± 6 and −15 ± 6 cm, respectively, by the three approaches.
The results of the three indirect methods are in an agreement with those of a direct approach from levelling and gravity measurements.

Three methods to correct for the atmospheric propagation delay in very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) measurements were
investigated. In the analysis, the NASA R&D experiments from January 1993 to June 1995 were used. The methods were compared
in correcting for the excess propagation delay due to water vapour, the “wet” delay, at one of the sites, the Onsala Space
Observatory on the west coast of Sweden. The three methods were: (1) estimating the wet delay using the VLBI data themselves;
(2) inferring the wet delay from water vapour radiometer (WVR) data, and (3) using independent estimates based on data from
the global positioning system (GPS). Optimum elevation cutoff angles were 22∘ and 26∘ when using WVR and GPS data, respectively. The results were found to be similar in terms of reproducibility of the estimated
baseline lengths. The shortest baselines tend to benefit from external measurements, whereas the lack of improvement in the
longer baselines may be partly due to the large amount of data thrown away when removing observations at low elevation angles.
Over a 2 week period of intensive measurements, the two methods using external data showed an overall improvement, for all
baseline lengths, compared to the first method. This indicates that there are long-term systematic errors in the wet delay
data estimated using WVR and GPS data.

Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of global positioning system (GPS) receivers for relative positioning of formation-flying satellites using dual-frequency carrier-phase observations. The accurate determination of distances or baselines between satellites flying in formation can provide significant benefits to a wide area of geodetic studies. For spaceborne radar interferometry in particular, such measurements will improve the accuracy of interferometric products such as digital elevation models (DEM) or surface deformation maps. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of relative position errors on the interferometric baseline performance of multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites flying in such a formation. Based on accuracy results obtained from differential GPS (DGPS) observations between the twin gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) satellites, baseline uncertainties are derived for three interferometric scenarios of a dedicated SAR mission. For cross-track interferometry in a bistatic operational mode, a mean 2D baseline error (1σ) of 1.4 mm is derived, whereas baseline estimates necessary for a monostatic acquisition mode with a 50 km along-track separation reveal a 2D uncertainty of approximately 1.7 mm. Absolute orbit solutions based on reduced dynamic orbit determination techniques using GRACE GPS code and carrier-phase data allows a repeat-pass baseline estimation with an accuracy down to 4 cm (2D 1σ). To assess the accuracy with respect to quality requirements of high-resolution DEMs, topographic height errors are derived from the estimated baseline uncertainties. Taking the monostatic pursuit flight configuration as the worst case for baseline performance, the analysis reveals that the induced low-frequency modulation (height bias) fulfills the relative vertical accuracy requirement (σ<1 m linear point-to-point error) according to the digital terrain elevation data level 3 (DTED-3) specifications for most of the baseline constellations. The use of a GPS-based reduced dynamic orbit determination technique improves the baseline performance for repeat-pass interferometry. The problem of fulfilling the DTED-3 horizontal accuracy requirements is still an issue to be investigated. DGPS can be used as an operational navigation tool for high-precision baseline estimation if a geodetic-grade dual-frequency spaceborne GPS receiver is assumed to be the primary instrument onboard the SAR satellites. The possibility of using only single-frequency receivers, however, requires further research effort.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) research fellow until Sept. 2004 at the Microwaves and Radar Institute, Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) e.V., 82234 Weßling, Germany 相似文献

Bathymetry data from Sognefjord, Norway, have been included in a terrain model, and their influence on the geoid has been
calculated. The test area, located in the western part of Norway, was chosen due to its deep fjords and high mountains. Inclusion
of bathymetry data in the terrain model altered the computed gravimetric geoid by as much as a few decimeters. The effect
was detectable to a distance of more than 100 km. All calculated geoids, both with and without bathymetry data in the terrain
model, fit the geoidal heights determined by available Global Positioning System (GPS) and levelling heights at the sub-decimetre
level. Contrary to expectations, the accuracy in geoid prediction was reduced when using bathymetric data. The geoid changes
were largest over the fjord where no GPS points were located. Different methods on the same area [isostatic and Residual Terrain
Model (RTM)-terrain reductions] showed differences of approximately 1 m. Rigorous distinction between quasigeoid and geoid
was found to be essential in this kind of area.
