Since the beginning of the International Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) Experiment, IGEX, in October 1998,
the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) has acted as an analysis center providing precise GLONASS orbits on a
regular basis. In CODE's IGEX routine analysis the Global Positioning System (GPS) orbits and Earth rotation parameters are
introduced as known quantities into the GLONASS processing. A new approach is studied, where data from the IGEX network are
combined with GPS observations from the International GPS Service (IGS) network and all parameters (GPS and GLONASS orbits,
Earth rotation parameters, and site coordinates) are estimated in one processing step. The influence of different solar radiation
pressure parameterizations on the GLONASS orbits is studied using different parameter subsets of the extended CODE orbit model.
Parameterization with three constant terms in the three orthogonal directions, D, Y, and X (D = direction satellite–Sun, Y = direction of the satellite's solar panel axis), and two periodic terms in the X-direction, proves to be adequate for GLONASS satellites. As a result of the processing it is found that the solar radiation
pressure effect for the GLONASS satellites is significantly different in the Y-direction from that for the GPS satellites, and an extensive analysis is carried out to investigate the effect in detail.
SLR observations from the ILRS network are used as an independent check on the quality of the GLONASS orbital solutions. Both
processing aspects, combining the two networks and changing the orbit parameterization, significantly improve the quality
of the determined GLONASS orbits compared to the orbits stemming from CODE's IGEX routine processing.

Laser-based validation of GLONASS orbits by short-arc technique 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The International GLONASS Experiment (IGEX-98) was carried out between 19 October 1998 and 19 April 1999. Among several objectives
was the precise orbit determination of GPS and GLONASS satellites and its validation by laser ranging observations. Local
laser-based orbit corrections (radial, tangential and normal components in a rotating orbital local reference frame) are computed
using a geometrical short-arc technique. The order of magnitude of these corrections is at the level of few decimeters, depending
on the considered components. The orbit corrections are analyzed as a function of several parameters (date, orbital plane,
geographical area). The mean corrections are at the level of several centimeters. However, when averaging over the entire
campaign and for all the satellites, no mean radial, tangential and normal orbit corrections are found. The origin of the
observed corrections is considered (errors due to the geocentric gravitational constant, the non-gravitational forces, the
thermal equilibrium of on-board equipment, the reference systems, the location and the signature of the retroreflector array,
and the precision of the satellite laser ranges). Some features are also due to errors in the radio-tracking GLONASS orbits.
Further investigations will be needed to better understand the origin of various biases.

In October 1998 the IGEX field campaign, the first coordinated international effort to monitor GLONASS satellites on global
basis, was started. Currently about 40 institutions worldwide support this effort either by providing GLONASS tracking data
or in operating related data and analysis centers. The increasing quality and consistency of the calculated GLONASS orbits
(about 25 cm early in 2000), even after the end of the official IGEX field campaign, are shown. Particular attention is drawn
to the combination of precise ephemerides in order to generate a robust, reliable and complete IGEX orbits product. Some problems
in modeling the effect of solar radiation pressure on GLONASS satellites are demonstrated. Finally, the expected benefits
and prospects of the upcoming International GLOnass Service-Pilot Project (IGLOS-PP) of the International GPS Service (IGS)
are discussed in more detail.

GPS-based precise orbit determination of the very low Earth-orbiting gravity mission GOCE 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A prerequisite for the success of future gravity missions like the European Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation
Explorer (GOCE) is a precise orbit determination (POD). A detailed simulation study has been carried out to assess the achievable
orbit accuracy based on satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST) by the US global positioning system (GPS) and in conjunction
the implications for gravity field determination. An orbit accuracy at the few centimeter level seems possible, sufficient
to support the GOCE gravity mission and in particular its gravity gradiometer.

Until recently, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was the only operational means of distributing time to an arbitrary number
of users and of synchronizing clocks over large distances with a high degree of precision and accuracy. Over the last few
years it has been shown that similar performance can be achieved using the Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).
GLONASS time transfer between continents was initially hampered by the lack of post-processed precise ephemerides. Results
from the International GLONASS Experiment (IGEX) campaign are now available, however, and this paper reports on the first
use of IGEX precise ephemerides for GLONASS P-code intercontinental time links. The results of GLONASS P-code and GPS C/A-code
time transfer are compared under similar conditions.

A new method for calculating analytical solar radiation pressure models for GNSS spacecraft has been developed. The method
simulates the flux of light from the Sun using a pixel array. The method can cope with a high level of complexity in the spacecraft
structure and models effects due to reflected light. Models have been calculated and tested for the Russhar global navigation
satellite system GLONASS IIv spacecraft. Results are presented using numerical integration of the force model and long-arc
satellite laser ranging (SLR) analysis. The integrated trajectory differs from a precise orbit calculated using a network
of global tracking stations by circa 2 m root mean square over a 160 000-km arc. The observed − computed residuals for the
400-day SLR arc are circa 28 mm.

A technique for the analysis of low–low intersatellite range-rate data in a gravity mapping mission is explored. The technique
is based on standard tracking data analysis for orbit determination but uses a spherical coordinate representation of the
12 epoch state parameters describing the baseline between the two satellites. This representation of the state parameters
is exploited to allow the intersatellite range-rate analysis to benefit from information provided by other tracking data types
without large simultaneous multiple-data-type solutions. The technique appears especially valuable for estimating gravity
from short arcs (e.g. less than 15 minutes) of data. Gravity recovery simulations which use short arcs are compared with those
using arcs a day in length. For a high-inclination orbit, the short-arc analysis recovers low-order gravity coefficients remarkably
well, although higher-order terms, especially sectorial terms, are less accurate. Simulations suggest that either long or
short arcs of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data are likely to improve parts of the geopotential spectrum
by orders of magnitude.

The impact of accelerometry on CHAMP orbit determination 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The contribution of the STAR accelerometer to the CHAMP orbit precision is evaluated and quantified by means of the following
results: orbital fit to the satellite laser ranging (SLR) observations, GPS reduced-dynamic vs SLR dynamic orbit comparisons,
and comparison of the measured to the modeled non-gravitational accelerations (atmospheric drag in particular). In each of
the four test periods in 2001, five CHAMP arcs of 2 days' length were analyzed. The mean RMS-of-fit of the SLR observations
of the orbits computed with STAR data or the non-gravitational force model were 11 and 24 cm, respectively. If the accelerometer
calibration parameters are not known at least at the few percent level, the SLR orbit fit deteriorates. This was tested by
applying a 10% error to the along-track scale factor of the accelerometer, which increased the SLR RMS-of-fit on average to
17 cm. Reference orbits were computed employing the reduced-dynamic technique with GPS tracking data. This technique yields
the most accurate orbit positions thanks to the estimation of a large number of empirical accelerations, which compensate
for dynamic modeling errors. Comparison of the SLR orbits, computed with STAR data or the non-gravitational force model, to
the GPS-based orbits showed that the SLR orbits employing accelerometer observations are twice as accurate. Finally, comparison
of measured to modeled accelerations showed that the level of geomagnetic activity is highly correlated with the atmospheric
drag model error, and that the largest errors occur around the geomagnetic poles.

Regularization of geopotential determination from satellite data by variance components 总被引:11,自引:18,他引:11
Different types of present or future satellite data have to be combined by applying appropriate weighting for the determination
of the gravity field of the Earth, for instance GPS observations for CHAMP with satellite to satellite tracking for the coming
mission GRACE as well as gradiometer measurements for GOCE. In addition, the estimate of the geopotential has to be smoothed
or regularized because of the inversion problem. It is proposed to solve these two tasks by Bayesian inference on variance
components. The estimates of the variance components are computed by a stochastic estimator of the traces of matrices connected
with the inverse of the matrix of normal equations, thus leading to a new method for determining variance components for large
linear systems. The posterior density function for the variance components, weighting factors and regularization parameters
are given in order to compute the confidence intervals for these quantities. Test computations with simulated gradiometer
observations for GOCE and satellite to satellite tracking for GRACE show the validity of the approach.

Local geoid determination combining gravity disturbances and GPS/levelling: a case study in the Lake Nasser area, Aswan, Egypt 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C. C. Tscherning Awar Radwan A. A. Tealeb S. M. Mahmoud M. Abd El-Monum Ramdan Hassan I. El-Syaed K. Saker 《Journal of Geodesy》2001,75(7-8):343-348
The use of GPS for height control in an area with existing levelling data requires the determination of a local geoid and
the bias between the local levelling datum and the one implicitly defined when computing the local geoid. If only scarse gravity
data are available, the heights of new data may be collected rapidly by determining the ellipsoidal height by GPS and not
using orthometric heights. Hence the geoid determination has to be based on gravity disturbances contingently combined with
gravity anomalies. Furthermore, existing GPS/levelling data may also be used in the geoid determination if a suitable general
gravity field modelling method (such as least-squares collocation, LSC) is applied. A comparison has been made in the Aswan
Dam area between geoids determined using fast Fourier transform (FFT) with gravity disturbances exclusively and LSC using
only the gravity disturbances and the disturbances combined with GPS/levelling data. The EGM96 spherical harmonic model was
in all cases used in a remove–restore mode. A total of 198 gravity disturbances spaced approximately 3 km apart were used,
as well as 35 GPS/levelling points in the vicinity and on the Aswan Dam. No data on the Nasser Lake were available. This gave
difficulties when using FFT, which requires the use of gridded data. When using exclusively the gravity disturbances, the
agreement between the GPS/levelling data were 0.71 ± 0.17 m for FFT and 0.63 ± 0.15 for LSC. When combining gravity disturbances
and GPS/levelling, the LSC error estimate was ±0.10 m. In the latter case two bias parameters had to be introduced to account
for a possible levelling datum difference between the levelling on the dam and that on the adjacent roads.

Apropos laser tracking to GPS satellites 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
. Laser tracking to GPS satellites (PRN5 and 6) provides an opportunity to compare GPS and laser systems directly and to combine
data of both in a single solution. A few examples of this are given in this study. The most important results of the analysis
are that (1) daily SLR station coordinate solutions could be generated with a few cm accuracy; (2) coordinates of nine stations
were determined in a 2.3-year-long arc solution; (3) the contribution of laser data on the `SLR-GPS' combined orbit, resulting
from the simultaneous processing of SLR and GPS data, is significant and (4) laser-only orbits have an accuracy of 10–20 cm,
1-day predictions of SLR orbits differ from IGS orbits by about 20–40 cm, 2-day predictions by 50–60 cm.

For the commonly used GPS wide-area augmentation systems (WAAS) with a grid ionospheric model, the efficient modelling of
ionospheric delays in real time, for single-frequency GPS users, is still a crucial issue which needs further research. This
is particularly necessary when differential ionospheric delay corrections cannot be broadcast, when users cannot receive them,
or when there are ionospheric anomalies. Ionospheric delays have a severe effect on navigation performance of single-frequency
receivers. A new scheme is proposed which can efficiently address the above problems. The robust recurrence technique is based
on the efficient combination of single-frequency GPS observations by users and the high-precision differential ionospheric
delay corrections from WAAS. Its effectiveness is verified with examples.

Improved antenna phase center models for GLONASS 总被引:6,自引:2,他引:4

Thanks to the increasing number of active GLONASS satellites and the increasing number of multi-GNSS tracking stations in
the network of the International GNSS Service (IGS), the quality of the GLONASS orbits has become significantly better over
the last few years. By the end of 2008, the orbit RMS error had reached a level of 3–4 cm. Nevertheless, the strategy to process
GLONASS observations still has deficiencies: one simplification, as applied within the IGS today, is the use of phase center
models for receiver antennas for the GLONASS observations, which were derived from GPS measurements only, by ignoring the
different frequency range. Geo++ GmbH calibrates GNSS receiver antennas using a robot in the field. This procedure yields
now separate corrections for the receiver antenna phase centers for each navigation satellite system, provided its constellation
is sufficiently populated. With a limited set of GLONASS calibrations, it is possible to assess the impact of GNSS-specific
receiver antenna corrections that are ignored within the IGS so far. The antenna phase center model for the GLONASS satellites
was derived in early 2006, when the multi-GNSS tracking network of the IGS was much sparser than it is today. Furthermore,
many satellites of the constellation at that time have in the meantime been replaced by the latest generation of GLONASS-M
satellites. For that reason, this paper also provides an update and extension of the presently used correction tables for
the GLONASS satellite antenna phase centers for the current constellation of GLONASS satellites. The updated GLONASS antenna
phase center model helps to improve the orbit quality. 相似文献

Considering a GPS satellite and two terrestrial stations, two types of equations are derived relating the heights of the
two stations to the measured data (frequency ratio or clock rate differences) and the coordinates and velocity components
of all three participating objects. The potential possibilities of using such relations for the determination of heights (in
terms of geopotential numbers or orthometric heights) are discussed.

The performance of geodetic monitoring networks is heavily influenced by the configuration of the measured GPS vectors. As
an effective design of the GPS measurements will decrease GPS campaign costs and increase the accuracy and reliability of
the entire network, the identification of the preferred GPS vectors for measurement has been highlighted as a core problem
in the process of deformation monitoring. An algorithm based on a sensitivity analysis of the network, as dependent upon a
postulated velocity field, is suggested for the selection of the optimal GPS vectors. Relevant mathematical and statistical
concepts are presented as the basis for an improved method of vector configuration design. A sensitivity analysis of the geodetic
geodynamic network in the north of Israel is presented, where the method is examined against two deformation models, the Simple
Transform Fault and the Locked Fault. The proposed method is suggested as a means for the improvement of the design of monitoring
networks, a common practice worldwide.

Single receiver phase ambiguity resolution with GPS data 总被引:26,自引:12,他引:14
Willy Bertiger Shailen D. Desai Bruce Haines Nate Harvey Angelyn W. Moore Susan Owen Jan P. Weiss 《Journal of Geodesy》2010,84(5):327-337
Global positioning system (GPS) data processing algorithms typically improve positioning solution accuracy by fixing double-differenced
phase bias ambiguities to integer values. These “double-difference ambiguity resolution” methods usually invoke linear combinations
of GPS carrier phase bias estimates from pairs of transmitters and pairs of receivers, and traditionally require simultaneous
measurements from at least two receivers. However, many GPS users point position a single local receiver, based on publicly
available solutions for GPS orbits and clocks. These users cannot form double differences. We present an ambiguity resolution
algorithm that improves solution accuracy for single receiver point-positioning users. The algorithm processes dual- frequency
GPS data from a single receiver together with wide-lane and phase bias estimates from the global network of GPS receivers
that were used to generate the orbit and clock solutions for the GPS satellites. We constrain (rather than fix) linear combinations
of local phase biases to improve compatibility with global phase bias estimates. For this precise point positioning, no other
receiver data are required. When tested, our algorithm significantly improved repeatability of daily estimates of ground receiver
positions, most notably in the east component by approximately 30% with respect to the nominal case wherein the carrier biases
are estimated as real values. In this “static” test for terrestrial receiver positions, we achieved daily repeatability of
1.9, 2.1 and 6.0 mm in the east, north and vertical (ENV) components, respectively. For kinematic solutions, ENV repeatability
is 7.7, 8.4, and 11.7 mm, respectively, representing improvements of 22, 8, and 14% with respect to the nominal. Results from
precise orbit determination of the twin GRACE satellites demonstrated that the inter-satellite baseline accuracy improved
by a factor of three, from 6 to 2 mm up to a long-term bias. Jason-2/Ocean Surface Topography Mission precise orbit determination
tests results implied radial orbit accuracy significantly below the 10 mm level. Stability of time transfer, in low-Earth
orbit, improved from 40 to 7 ps. We produced these results by applying this algorithm within the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s
(JPL’s) GIPSY/OASIS software package and using JPL’s orbit and clock products for the GPS constellation. These products now
include a record of the wide-lane and phase bias estimates from the underlying global network of GPS stations. This implies
that all GIPSY–OASIS positioning users can now benefit from this capability to perform single-receiver ambiguity resolution. 相似文献

Analysis of the first year of Earth rotation parameters with a sub-daily resolution gained at the CODE processing center of the IGS 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
The solutions of the CODE Analysis Center submitted to the IGS, the International Global Position System (GPS) Service for
Geodynamics, are based on three days of observation of about 80–100 stations of the IGS network. The Earth rotation parameters
(ERPs) are assumed to vary linearly over the three days with respect to an a priori model. Continuity at the day boundaries
as well as the continuity of the first derivatives are enforced by constraints. Since early April 1995 CODE has calculated
a new ERP series with an increased time resolution of 2 hours. Again continuity is enforced at the 2-hours-interval boundaries.
The analysis method is described, particularly how to deal with retrograde diurnal terms in the ERP series which may not be estimated with satellite geodetic methods. The results obtained from the first year of data covered by the time series
(time interval from 4 April 1995 to 30 June 1996) are also discussed. The series is relatively homogeneous in the sense of
the used orbit model and the a priori model for the ERPs. The largest source of excitation at daily and sub-daily periods
is likely to be the effect of the ocean tides. There is good agreement between the present results and Topex/Poseidon ocean
tide models, as well as with models based on Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data.
Non-oceanic periodic variations are also observed in the series. Their origin is most probably a consequence of the GPS solution
strategy; other possible sources are the atmospheric tides.

Precise estimation of residual tropospheric delays using a regional GPS network for real-time kinematic applications 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A new method called Trop_NetAdjust is described to predict in real time the residual tropospheric delays on the GPS carrier
phase observables using the redundant measurements from a network of GPS reference stations. This method can not only enhance
the effectiveness and reliability of real-time kinematic users within the network, but also provide a valid approach to tropospheric
parameter variation forecasting. Trop_NetAdjust is theoretically based upon LS prediction criteria and enables the prediction
of residual tropospheric delays remaining after a standard model has been applied to the raw GPS measurements. Two cases are
analyzed, namely a first case when the delay is required for an existing satellite at a new point within the network and a
second case when the delay is required for a new satellite. Field tests were conducted using data collected in a network of
11 reference stations covering a 400×600 km region in southern Norway. The results were analyzed in the measurement domain
(ionospheric-free double-difference residuals) and showed improvements of 20 to 65% RMS errors using Trop_NetAdjust. The estimates
of the Trop_NetAdjust prediction accuracy were also obtained using the covariance analysis method. The agreement was consistently
better than 30% when compared with data from a real network.

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.
