The empirical model GPT (Global Pressure and Temperature), which is based on spherical harmonics up to degree and order nine,
provides pressure and temperature at any site in the vicinity of the Earth’s surface. It can be used for geodetic applications
such as the determination of a priori hydrostatic zenith delays, reference pressure values for atmospheric loading, or thermal
deformation of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio telescopes. Input parameters of GPT are the station coordinates
and the day of the year, thus also allowing one to model the annual variations of the parameters. As an improvement compared
with previous models, it reproduces the large pressure anomaly over Antarctica, which can cause station height errors in the
analysis of space-geodetic data of up to 1 cm if not considered properly in troposphere modelling. First tests at selected
geodetic observing stations show that the pressure biases considerably decrease when using GPT instead of the very simple
approaches applied to various Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) software packages so far. GPT also provides an appropriate
model for the annual variability of global temperature.

Stochastic estimation of tropospheric path delays in global positioning system geodetic measurements 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：5
Water vapor radiometric (WVR) and surface meteorological (SM) measurements taken during three Global Positioning System (GPS) geodetic experiments are used to calculate process noise levels for random walk and first-order Gauss-Markov temporal models
of tropospheric path delays. Entire wet and combined wet and dry zenith delays at each network site then are estimated simultaneously
with the geodetic parameters without prior calibration. The path delays and corresponding baseline estimates are compared
to those obtained with calibrated data and stochastic residual delays. In this manner, the marginal utility of a priori tropospheric
calibration is assessed given the ability to estimate the path delays directly using only theGPS data. Estimation of total zenith path delays with appropriate random walk or Gauss-Markov models yields baseline repeatabilities
of a few parts in 108. This level of geodetic precision, and accuracy as suggested by analyses on collocated baselines estimated independently
by very long baseline interferometry, is comparable to or better than that obtained after path delay calibration usingWVR and/orSM measurements. Results suggest thatGPS data alone have sufficient strength to resolve centimeter-level zenith path delay fluctuations over periods of a few minutes. 相似文献

Summary Time varying coordinates of points of a geodetic network are indirectly measured by a group of measurement devices with different characteristics of accuracy in several epochs. The design of the measurement is the same in all epochs. The ratio of the characteristics of accuracy is a priori unknown. The aim is to determine an estimator of the parameters of functions modelling changes of the coordinates, confidence regions of these functions and to construct a procedure for testing linear hypotheses on time varying coordinates of a geodetic network. As the characteristics of accuracy are a priori unknown, the problem of their estimation has to be solved simultaneously. The research of rules of recent crustal movements leads to studying the mentioned model. 相似文献

Monte Carlo simulations of the impact of troposphere,clock and measurement errors on the repeatability of VLBI positions 总被引：6，自引：5，他引：1
Within the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out to design
the next generation VLBI system (“VLBI2010”). Simulated VLBI observables were generated taking into account the three most
important stochastic error sources in VLBI, i.e. wet troposphere delay, station clock, and measurement error. Based on realistic
physical properties of the troposphere and clocks we ran simulations to investigate the influence of the troposphere on VLBI
analyses, and to gain information about the role of clock performance and measurement errors of the receiving system in the
process of reaching VLBI2010’s goal of mm position accuracy on a global scale. Our simulations confirm that the wet troposphere
delay is the most important of these three error sources. We did not observe significant improvement of geodetic parameters
if the clocks were simulated with an Allan standard deviation better than 1 × 10−14 at 50 min and found the impact of measurement errors to be relatively small compared with the impact of the troposphere.
Along with simulations to test different network sizes, scheduling strategies, and antenna slew rates these studies were used
as a basis for the definition and specification of VLBI2010 antennas and recording system and might also be an example for
other space geodetic techniques. 相似文献

Tropospheric refractivity and zenith path delays from least-squares collocation of meteorological and GNSS data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Precise positioning requires an accurate a priori troposphere model to enhance the solution quality. Several empirical models are available, but they may not properly characterize the state of troposphere, especially in severe weather conditions. Another possible solution is to use regional troposphere models based on real-time or near-real time measurements. In this study, we present the total refractivity and zenith total delay (ZTD) models based on a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and ground-based meteorological observations. We reconstruct the total refractivity profiles over the western part of Switzerland and the total refractivity profiles as well as ZTDs over Poland using the least-squares collocation software COMEDIE (Collocation of Meteorological Data for Interpretation and Estimation of Tropospheric Pathdelays) developed at ETH Zürich. In these two case studies, profiles of the total refractivity and ZTDs are calculated from different data sets. For Switzerland, the data set with the best agreement with the reference radiosonde (RS) measurements is the combination of ground-based meteorological observations and GNSS ZTDs. Introducing the horizontal gradients does not improve the vertical interpolation, and results in slightly larger biases and standard deviations. For Poland, the data set based on meteorological parameters from the NWP Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and from a combination of the NWP model and GNSS ZTDs shows the best agreement with the reference RS data. In terms of ZTD, the combined NWP-GNSS observations and GNSS-only data set exhibit the best accuracy with an average bias (from all stations) of 3.7 mm and average standard deviations of 17.0 mm w.r.t. the reference GNSS stations. 相似文献

The direct method of vertical datum unification requires estimates of the ocean’s mean dynamic topography (MDT) at tide gauges, which can be sourced from either geodetic or oceanographic approaches. To assess the suitability of different types of MDT for this purpose, we evaluate 13 physics-based numerical ocean models and six MDTs computed from observed geodetic and/or ocean data at 32 tide gauges around the Australian coast. We focus on the viability of numerical ocean models for vertical datum unification, classifying the 13 ocean models used as either independent (do not contain assimilated geodetic data) or non-independent (do contain assimilated geodetic data). We find that the independent and non-independent ocean models deliver similar results. Maximum differences among ocean models and geodetic MDTs reach >150 mm at several Australian tide gauges and are considered anomalous at the 99% confidence level. These differences appear to be of geodetic origin, but without additional independent information, or formal error estimates for each model, some of these errors remain inseparable. Our results imply that some ocean models have standard deviations of differences with other MDTs (using geodetic and/or ocean observations) at Australian tide gauges, and with levelling between some Australian tide gauges, of \({\sim }\pm 50\,\hbox {mm}\). This indicates that they should be considered as an alternative to geodetic MDTs for the direct unification of vertical datums. They can also be used as diagnostics for errors in geodetic MDT in coastal zones, but the inseparability problem remains, where the error cannot be discriminated between the geoid model or altimeter-derived mean sea surface. 相似文献

Missing or incorrect consideration of azimuthal asymmetry of troposphere delays is a considerable error source in space geodetic techniques such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). So-called horizontal troposphere gradients are generally utilized for modeling such azimuthal variations and are particularly required for observations at low elevation angles. Apart from estimating the gradients within the data analysis, which has become common practice in space geodetic techniques, there is also the possibility to determine the gradients beforehand from different data sources than the actual observations. Using ray-tracing through Numerical Weather Models (NWMs), we determined discrete gradient values referred to as GRAD for VLBI observations, based on the standard gradient model by Chen and Herring (J Geophys Res 102(B9):20489–20502, 1997. https://doi.org/10.1029/97JB01739) and also for new, higher-order gradient models. These gradients are produced on the same data basis as the Vienna Mapping Functions 3 (VMF3) (Landskron and Böhm in J Geod, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-017-1066-2), so they can also be regarded as the VMF3 gradients as they are fully consistent with each other. From VLBI analyses of the Vienna VLBI and Satellite Software (VieVS), it becomes evident that baseline length repeatabilities (BLRs) are improved on average by 5% when using a priori gradients GRAD instead of estimating the gradients. The reason for this improvement is that the gradient estimation yields poor results for VLBI sessions with a small number of observations, while the GRAD a priori gradients are unaffected from this. We also developed a new empirical gradient model applicable for any time and location on Earth, which is included in the Global Pressure and Temperature 3 (GPT3) model. Although being able to describe only the systematic component of azimuthal asymmetry and no short-term variations at all, even these empirical a priori gradients slightly reduce (improve) the BLRs with respect to the estimation of gradients. In general, this paper addresses that a priori horizontal gradients are actually more important for VLBI analysis than previously assumed, as particularly the discrete model GRAD as well as the empirical model GPT3 are indeed able to refine and improve the results. 相似文献

International compilations of marine gravity, such as the International Gravity Bureau (BGI) contain tens of millions of point
data. Lemoine et al. (The Development of the Joint NASA GSFC and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Geopotential
Model EGM96, NASA/TP-1998-206861) chose not to include any marine gravity in the construction of the global gravity model
EGM96. Instead they used synthetic anomalies derived from altimetry, so that no independent information about Mean Dynamic
Topography (MDT) can be deduced. Software has been developed not only to identify and correct those aspects of marine gravity
data that are unreliable, but to do so in a way that can be applied to very large, ocean-wide data sets. First, we select
only straight-line parts of ship-tracks and fit each one with a high-degree series of Chebyshev polynomials, whose misfit
standard deviation is σ
line and measures the random error associated with point gravity data. Then, network adjustment determines how the gravity datum is offset for each survey.
A free least squares adjustment minimises the gravity anomaly mismatch at line-crossing points, using σ
line to weight the estimate for each line. For a long, well crossed survey, the instrumental drift rate is also adjusted. For
some 42,000 cross-over points in the northern Atlantic Ocean, network adjustment reduces the unweighted standard deviation
of the cross-over errors from 4.03 to 1.58 mGal; when quality weighted, the statistic reduces from 1.32 to 0.39 mGal. The
geodetic MDT is calculated combining the adjusted gravity anomalies and satellite altimetry, and a priori global ocean model
through a new algorithm called the Iterative Combination Method. This paper reports a first demonstration that geodetic oceanography
can characterise the details of basin wide ocean circulation with a resolution better than global ocean circulation models.
The result matches regional models of ocean circulation from hydrography measurements (Geophys Res Lett 29:1896, 2002; J Geophys
Res 108:3251, 2003). 相似文献

We perform extensive simulations in order to assess the accuracy with which the position of a radio transmitter on the surface of the Moon can be determined by geodetic VLBI. We study how the quality and quantity of geodetic VLBI observations influence these position estimates and investigate how observations of such near-field objects affect classical geodetic parameters like VLBI station coordinates and Earth rotation parameters. Our studies are based on today’s global geodetic VLBI schedules as well as on those designed for the next-generation geodetic VLBI system. We use Monte Carlo simulations including realistic stochastic models of troposphere, station clocks, and observational noise. Our results indicate that it is possible to position a radio transmitter on the Moon using today’s geodetic VLBI with a two-dimensional horizontal accuracy of better than one meter. Moreover, we show that the next-generation geodetic VLBI has the potential to improve the two-dimensional accuracy to better than 5 cm. Thus, our results lay the base for novel observing concepts to improve both lunar research and geodetic VLBI. 相似文献

Multi-technique space geodetic analysis software has been developed which allows to combine data on the observation level. In addition to local tie information, site-wise common parameters, i.e., troposphere and clocks, can be estimated with this software. Thus, it will be discussed how common parameters have to be estimated and where biases/offsets need to be taken into account. To test such a novel concept, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data from the CONT11 campaign are being utilized. Since the VLBI baselines of this campaign extend over several thousands of kilometers, GPS data are processed in precise-point positioning mode and satellite orbits and clocks are kept fixed to the IGS final products. From the obtained results, it can be shown that the combination of space geodetic data on the observation level leads to a consistent improvement of station position repeatability as well as nuisance parameters like troposphere estimates. Furthermore, estimation of common parameters (troposphere or clocks) at co-located sites helps to improve the solution further and derive an utmost physically consistent model of the concerned parameters. 相似文献

Doppler derived geocentric and relative geodetic positions are now widely used for detecting and controlling systematic scale
and orientation errors in large classical terrestrial triangulation networks. However, the combined adjustment of terrestrial
and space data raises several theoretical problems, including the choice of appropriate reference systems, the a priori weighting
of the various types of observations, the modelling of systematic errors and the conditioning of the network in terms of internal
and external rank deficiencies. Tests with large national networks show conclusively that, without correct modelling, systematic
errors will largely be unaffected by “higher order” observations. 相似文献

Quality assessment of GPS rapid static positioning with weighted ionospheric parameters in generalized least squares 总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1
Pawel Wielgosz 《GPS Solutions》2011,15(2):89-99
Precise GPS positioning requires the processing of carrier-phase observations and fixing integer ambiguities. With increasing
distance between receivers, ambiguity fixing becomes more difficult because ionospheric and tropospheric effects do not cancel
sufficiently in double differencing. A popular procedure in static positioning is to increase the length of the observing
session and/or to apply atmospheric (ionospheric) models and corrections. We investigate the methodology for GPS rapid static
positioning that requires just a few minutes of dual-frequency GPS observations for medium-length baselines. Ionospheric corrections
are not required, but the ionospheric delays are treated as pseudo-observations having a priori values and respective weights.
The tropospheric delays are reduced by using well-established troposphere models, and satellite orbital and clock errors are
eliminated by using IGS rapid products. Several numerical tests based on actual GPS data are presented. It is shown that the
proposed methodology is suitable for rapid static positioning within 50–70 km from the closest reference network station and
that centimeter-level precision in positioning is feasible when using just 1 min of dual-frequency GPS data. 相似文献

将GPS信号的斜路径湿延迟当作层析的观测量能够有效获取对流层的三维水汽场。由于射线分布的不均匀和观测网地形的扁平,观测方程是不适定的,因此需要添加一些约束条件来确定唯一解。由于水汽在垂直方向变化很快,合理的垂直约束在获取准确的水汽场上起着重要作用。研究了香港地区湿折射率的垂直分布特征,发现高斯函数能很好地表达湿折射率与高度的关系,利用高斯函数建立约束方程获得的层析解能很好地与探空数据和欧洲中尺度天气预报中心（ECMWF）数据吻合。相对于指数约束所得结果,层析湿折射率的标准差在整个对流层减小了3.8 mm/km,在低对流层减小了4.7 mm/km。实验也表明,利用其他气象数据,如无线电探空数据,作为湿折射率的先验信息,也可以得到较好的层析解。 相似文献

The DORIS Doppler measurements collected by Jason-1 are abnormally perturbed by the influence of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). The DORIS ultra-stable oscillators on-board Jason-1 are not as stable as they should be; their frequency is sensitive both to the irradiation rate and to the total irradiation encountered in orbit. The consequence is that not only are the DORIS measurement residuals higher than they ought to be, but also large systematic positioning errors are introduced for stations located in the vicinity of the SAA. In this paper, we present a method that has been devised to obtain a continuous observation of Jason-1 frequency offsets. This method relies on the precise determination of the station frequency and troposphere parameters via the use of other DORIS satellites. More than 3 years of these observations have then been used to construct a model of response of the oscillators of Jason-1 to the SAA. The sensitivity of the Jason-1 oscillators to the SAA perturbations has evolved over time, multiplied by a factor of four between launch and mid-2004. The corrective performances of the model are discussed in terms of DORIS measurement residuals, precise orbit determination and station positioning. The average DORIS measurement residuals are decreased by more than 7 % using this model. In terms of precise orbit determination, the 3D DORIS-only orbit error decreases from 5 to 4.2 cm, but the DORIS+SLR orbit error is almost unaffected, due to the already good quality of this type of orbit. In terms of station positioning, the model brings down the average 3D mono-satellite monthly network solution discrepancy with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame ITRF2000 from 11.3 to 6.1 cm, and also decreases the scatter about that average from 11.3 to 3.7 cm. The conclusion is that, with this model, it is possible to re-incorporate Jason-1 in the multi-satellite geodetic solutions for the DORIS station network. 相似文献

The troposphere affects Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals due to the variability of the refractive index. Tropospheric delay is a function of the satellite elevation angle and the altitude of the GNSS receiver and depends on the atmospheric parameters. If the residual tropospheric delay is not modelled carefully a bias error will occur in the vertical component. In order to analyse the precise altimetric positioning based on a local active network, four scenarios in Southern Spain with different topographical, environmental, and meteorological conditions are presented, considering both favourable and non-favourable conditions. The use of surface meteorological observations allows us to take into account the tropospheric conditions instead of a standard atmosphere, but introduces a residual tropospheric bias which reduces the accuracy of precise GNSS positioning. Thus, with short observation times it is recommended not to estimate troposphere parameters, but to use an a priori model together with the standard atmosphere. The results confirm that it is possible to achieve centimetre-scale vertical accuracy and precision with real time kinematic positioning even with large elevation differences with respect to the nearest reference stations. These numerical results may be taken into consideration for improving the altimetric configuration of the local active network. 相似文献
