Five separate polar motion series are examined in order to understand what portion of their variations at periods exceeding
several years represents true polar motion. The data since the development of space-geodetic techniques (by themselves insufficient
for study of long-period motion), and a variety of historical astrometric data sets, allow the following tentative conclusions:
retrograde long-period polar motion below about −0.2 cpy (cycles per year) in pre-space-geodetic data (pre-1976) is dominantly
noise. For 1976–1992, there is poor agreement between space-geodetic and astrometric series over the range −0.2 to +0.2 cpy,
demonstrating that classical astrometry lacked the precision to monitor polar motion in this frequency range. It is concluded
that all the pre-1976 astrometric polar motion data are likely to be dominated by noise at periods exceeding about 10 years.
The exception to this is possibly a linear trend found in some astrometric and space geodetic series. At frequencies above
prograde +0.2 cpy (periods shorter than about 5 years), historical astrometric data may be of sufficient quality for comparisons
with geophysical excitation time series. Even in the era of space geodesy, significant differences are found in long-period
variations in published polar motion time series.

Uncertainties in polar motion and length-of-day measurements are evaluated empirically using several data series from the space-geodetic techniques of the global positioning system (GPS), satellite laser ranging (SLR), and very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) during 1997–2002. In the evaluation procedure employed here, known as the three-corner hat (TCH) technique, the signal common to each series is eliminated by forming pair-wise differences between the series, thus requiring no assumed values for the “truth” signal. From the variances of the differenced series, the uncertainty of each series can be recovered when reasonable assumptions are made about the correlations between the series. In order to form the pair-wise differences, the series data must be given at the same epoch. All measurement data sets studied here were sampled at noon (UTC); except for the VLBI series, whose data are interpolated to noon and whose UT1 values are also numerically differentiated to obtain LOD. The numerical error introduced to the VLBI values by the interpolation and differentiation is shown to be comparable in magnitude to the values determined by the TCH method for the uncertainties of the VLBI series. The TCH estimates for the VLBI series are corrupted by such numerical errors mostly as a result of the relatively large data intervals. Of the remaining data sets studied here, it is found that the IGS Final combined series has the smallest polar motion and length-of-day uncertainties. 相似文献

A global plate motion model is established based on the ITRF97 velocity fields and geological model NUVEL1. Sub-plate models
are estimated by using the velocity fields derived from 45 global positioning system (GPS) sites under the ITRF97 reference
frame in China. Comparisons between space geodesy and geological models are given. It is found that the Euler vector of the
AFRC–EURA pair has an obvious discrepancy between space geodetic and geological models. The motion patterns of tectonic blocks
in China predicted by GPS are consistent with those of geological data on the whole.

Summary For several years polar motion has been routinely monitored with the technique of geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at five-day intervals. Here we present the results of the first two series of VLBI measurements for polar motion monitoring observed on a quasi daily basis employing only a single baseline. The high sensitivity of the long north-south baseline between radio telescopes at Wettzell in Germany and Hartebeesthock in South Africa for both components of polar motion permitted relatively short and inexpensive measurements of only two hours duration per session. The results of this series agree very well with the pole path determined with the IRIS network using 4 observatories in each observing session of 24 hour duration. With the polar motion results of the two series spanning about 35 days each, spectral analyses were performed which have shown a fortnightly period with a high degree of probability. These measurements demonstrate the potential of long north-south VLBI baselines for monitoring polar motion with very high temporal resolution for studies of short period fluctuations. 相似文献

Length-of-day (LOD) estimates from seven Global Positioning System (GPS) and three satellite laser ranging (SLR) analysis
centers were combined into an even-spaced time series for a 27-month period (1996–1998). This time series was compared to
the multi-technique Earth-orientation-parameter (EOP) combined solution (C04) derived at the Central Bureau of the International
Earth Rotation Service (IERS/CB). Due to inhomogeneities in the different series derived from the various techniques (time,
length, quality, and spatial resolution), the concept of a combined solution is justified. The noise behavior in LOD for different
techniques varies with frequency; the data series were divided into frequency windows after removing both biases and trends.
Different weight factors were assigned in each window, discriminating by technique, and produced one-technique combined solutions.
Finally, these one-technique combined solutions were combined to obtain the final multi-technique solution. The LOD combined
time series obtained by the present method based on the frequency windows combined series (FWCS) is very close to the IERS
C04 solution. It could be useful to generate a new LOD reference time series to be used in the study of high-frequency variations
of Earth rotation.

Combined Earth orientation parameters based on homogeneous and continuous VLBI and GPS data 总被引：1，自引：3，他引：1

The CONT02 campaign is of great interest for studies combining very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) with other space-geodetic
techniques, because of the continuously available VLBI observations over 2 weeks in October 2002 from a homogeneous network.
Especially, the combination with the Global Positioning System (GPS) offers a broad spectrum of common parameters. We combined
station coordinates, Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) and troposphere parameters consistently in one solution using technique-
specific datum-free normal equation systems. In this paper, we focus on the analyses concerning the EOPs, whereas the comparison
and combination of the troposphere parameters and station coordinates are covered in a companion paper in Journal of Geodesy. In order to demonstrate the potential of the VLBI and GPS space-geodetic techniques, we chose a sub-daily resolution for
polar motion (PM) and universal time (UT). A consequence of this solution set-up is the presence of a one-to-one correlation
between the nutation angles and a retrograde diurnal signal in PM. The Bernese GPS Software used for the combination provides
a constraining approach to handle this singularity. Simulation studies involving both nutation offsets and rates helped to
get a deeper understanding of this singularity. With a rigorous combination of UT1–UTC and length of day (LOD) from VLBI and
GPS, we showed that such a combination works very well and does not suffer from the systematic effects present in the GPS-derived
LOD values. By means of wavelet analyses and the formal errors of the estimates, we explain this important result. The same
holds for the combination of nutation offsets and rates. The local geodetic ties between GPS and VLBI antennas play an essential
role within the inter-technique combination. Several studies already revealed non-negligible discrepancies between the terrestrial
measurements and the space-geodetic solutions. We demonstrate to what extent these discrepancies propagate into the combined
EOP solution. 相似文献

Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) [polar motion and length of day (LOD), or UT1–UTC] were predicted by artificial neural
networks. EOP series from various sources, e.g. the C04 series from the International Earth Rotation Service and the re-analysis
optical astrometry series based on the HIPPARCOS frame, served for training the neural network for both short-term and long-term
predictions. At first, all effects which can be described by functional models, e.g. effects of the solid Earth tides and
the ocean tides or seasonal atmospheric variations of the EOPs, were removed. Only the differences between the modeled and
the observed EOPs, i.e. the quasi-periodic and irregular variations, were used for training and prediction. The Stuttgart
neural network simulator, which is a very powerful software tool developed at the University of Stuttgart, was applied to
construct and to validate different types of neural networks in order to find the optimal topology of the net, the most economical
learning algorithm and the best procedure to feed the net with data patterns. The results of the prediction were analyzed
and compared with those obtained by other methods. The accuracy of the prediction is equal to or even better than that by
other prediction methods.

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 7 month-period (sub-Chandler) wobble is considered with respect to the nonlinear dynamical equation of polar motion.
Starting with the frequency modulation of Chandler wobble (CW) in the model developed by introduction of damping from perturbed
visco-elastic deformation, the rotation equation of the CW becomes a resonance model with a time-dependent parameter. According
to evolution calculation, the parameter resonance model is essentially identical to the reality of CW observations. If the
frequency of CW is modulated about 3 by visco-elastic deformation, then the amplitude of CW will be modulated by greater than 70. On the other hand, bifurcation may occur according to the nonlinear dynamical system of the parameter resonance model, i.e.
a pair of solutions splitting from the main CW. One is the 7-month-period wobble and the other is a motion with a period of
about 28 months. Although the latter is very weak, the 7-month-period wobble will be observed as the stability condition is
satisfied. The maximum amplitude is about 22.89 mas and the average 12.65 mas. This is identical to what is observed in reality.

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.

ITRS, PZ-90 and WGS 84: current realizations and the related transformation parameters 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
The first results of the International GLONASS Experiment 1998 (IGEX-98) campaign have provided significant material to illustrate
the mutual benefits of the GLONASS system and the realization of the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). A
specific aspect, namely the relationship between the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) and the PZ-90 system using ITRS as
a primary standard, is investigated. A review of current works is carried out. A transformation strategy is proposed for the
three systems based on recent results from IGEX-98 and an independent set of transformation parameters derived by the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory from ITRF97 and PZ-90 coordinates for 16 global stations.

Dual satellite crossovers (DXO) between the two European Remote Sensing satellites ERS-1 and ERS-2 and TOPEX/Poseidon are
used to (1) refine the Earth's gravity field and (2) extend the study of the ERS-2 altimetric range stability to cover the
first four years of its operation. The enhanced gravity field model, AGM-98, is validated by several methodologies and will
be shown to provide, in particular, low geographically correlated orbital error for ERS-2. For the ERS-2 altimetric range
study, TOPEX/Poseidon is first calibrated through comparison against in situ tide gauge data. A time series of the ERS-2 altimeter
bias has been recovered along with other geophysical correction terms using tables for bias jumps in the range measurements
at the single point target response (SPTR) events. On utilising the original version of the SPTR tables the overall bias drift
is seen to be 2.6±1.0 mm/yr with an RMS of fit of 12.2 mm but with discontinuities at the centimetre level at the SPTR events.
On utilising the recently released revised tables, SPTR2000, the drift is better defined at 2.4±0.6 mm/yr with the RMS of
fit reduced to 3.7 mm. Investigations identify the sea-state bias as a source of error with corrections affecting the overall
drift by close to 1.2 mm/yr.

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.

The topographic potential and the direct topographic effect on the geoid are presented as surface integrals, and the direct
gravity effect is derived as a rigorous surface integral on the unit sphere. By Taylor-expanding the integrals at sea level
with respect to topographic elevation (H) the power series of the effects is derived to arbitrary orders. This study is primarily limited to terms of order H
2. The limitations of the various effects in the frequently used planar approximations are demonstrated. In contrast, it is
shown that the spherical approximation to power H
2 leads to a combined topographic effect on the geoid (direct plus indirect effect) proportional to H˜2 (where terms of degrees 0 and 1 are missing) of the order of several metres, while the combined topographic effect on the
height anomaly vanishes, implying that current frequent efforts to determine the direct effect to this order are not needed.
The last result is in total agreement with Bjerhammar's method in physical geodesy. It is shown that the most frequently applied
remove–restore technique of topographic masses in the application of Stokes' formula suffers from significant errors both
in the terrain correction C (representing the sum of the direct topographic effect on gravity anomaly and the effect of continuing the anomaly to sea
level) and in the term t (mainly representing the indirect effect on the geoidal or quasi-geoidal height).

The edge effect in the wavelet time–frequency spectrum of a time series is treated. The time series is first extended on
both ends by applying a non-linear model, namely the leap-step time series analysis (LSTSA) model, prior to the wavelet transform.
The results of a series of simulation experiments and an application to the observed length-of-day (LOD) series demonstrate
that the edge effect is effectively reduced this way. Thus, the application of the LSTSA model improves the wavelet time–frequency
spectrum, especially enhancing the ability to detect the low-frequency signals.

The conventional international origin (CIO), established from observations made a century ago, is not directly related to observations by modern space-geodetic techniques. Both the greater precision of these techniques and improved knowledge of the structure of the Earth justify the need for a new CIO. We analyze recent polar motion time-series (VLBI, SLR, and GPS) to test estimators that might be used to establish such a new conventional origin. This new origin would be defined as the barycenter of the motion of the pole for a specific epoch. Consistency among the series examined is of the order of 2 milli-arc-seconds. A drift model can be employed in the analysis of specific series to establish an origin as the barycenter at a specific epoch, rather than the midpoint of the series. As an example, we estimate a “Conventional International Reference Origin” for the year 2000.0, using polar motion series that began in 1984. 相似文献

Improved convergence rates for the truncation error in gravimetric geoid determination 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
When Stokes's integral is used over a spherical cap to compute a gravimetric estimate of the geoid, a truncation error results
due to the neglect of gravity data over the remainder of the Earth. Associated with the truncation error is an error kernel
defined over these two complementary regions. An important observation is that the rate of decay of the coefficients of the
series expansion for the truncation error in terms of Legendre polynomials is determined by the smoothness properties of the
error kernel. Previously published deterministic modifications of Stokes's integration kernel involve either a discontinuity
in the error kernel or its first derivative at the spherical cap radius. These kernels are generalised and extended by constructing
error kernels whose derivatives at the spherical cap radius are continuous up to an arbitrary order. This construction is
achieved by smoothly continuing the error kernel function into the spherical cap using a suitable degree polynomial. Accordingly,
an improved rate of convergence of the spectral series representation of the truncation error is obtained.

Gravitational perturbation theory for intersatellite tracking 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
M. K. Cheng 《Journal of Geodesy》2002,76(3):169-185
An analytical gravitational perturbation theory for the intersatellite tracking range and range-rate measurement between
two satellites is developed. The satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST) range data measure the difference between the position
perturbations of two satellites along the direction of the intersatellite range. The SST range-rate data measure the difference
between the velocity perturbations along the direction of the intersatellite range, and the difference of the position perturbation
along the direction perpendicular to the intersatellite range (cross-range). The SST range and range rate depend on different
orbital excitations for mapping the gravity field. For the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), approximately
97% of the geopotential coefficient pairs produce perturbations with a root-mean-square larger than 1 m on the range and 0.1
m/sec on the range rate based on the EGM96 gravity field truncated at degree and order 140. Results in this study showed that
ocean tides produce significant perturbations in the range and range-rate measurements. An ocean tide field with a higher
degree and order (>70) is required to model the ocean tide perturbations on the intersatellite range and range-rate measurement.
