Total electron content processing from GPS observations to facilitate ionospheric modeling 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
With the increasing global distribution of high rate dual-frequency global positioning system (GPS) receivers, the production
of a real-time atmospheric constituent definition, total electron content (TEC), has become a beneficial contributor to the
modeling applications used in the assessment of GPS position accuracy and the composition of the ionosphere, plasmasphere,
and troposphere. Historically, TEC measurements have been obtained through post processing techniques to produce the quality
of data necessary for modeling applications with rigorous error estimate requirements. These procedures necessitated the collection
of large volumes of data to address the various abnormalities in the computation of TEC associated with the use of greater
data quality controls and source selection while real-time modeling environments must rely on autonomous controls and filtration
techniques to prevent the production of erroneous model results. In this paper we present methods for processing TEC in real
time, which utilize several procedures including the application of an ionospheric model to automatically perform quality
control on the TEC output and the computational techniques used to address receiver multipath, faulty receiver observations,
cycle-slips, segmented processing, and receiver calibrations. The resulting TEC measurements are provided with rigorous error
estimates validated using the vertical TEC from the Jason satellite mission.

Calibration errors on experimental slant total electron content (TEC) determined with GPS 总被引:12,自引:6,他引:12
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become a powerful tool for ionospheric studies. In addition, ionospheric corrections
are necessary for the augmentation systems required for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) use. Dual-frequency carrier-phase
and code-delay GPS observations are combined to obtain ionospheric observables related to the slant total electron content
(sTEC) along the satellite-receiver line-of-sight (LoS). This observable is affected by inter-frequency biases [IFB; often
called differential code biases (DCB)] due to the transmitting and the receiving hardware. These biases must be estimated
and eliminated from the data in order to calibrate the experimental sTEC obtained from GPS observations. Based on the analysis
of single differences of the ionospheric observations obtained from pairs of co-located dual-frequency GPS receivers, this
research addresses two major issues: (1) assessing the errors translated from the code-delay to the carrier-phase ionospheric
observable by the so-called levelling process, applied to reduce carrier-phase ambiguities from the data; and (2) assessing
the short-term stability of receiver IFB. The conclusions achieved are: (1) the levelled carrier-phase ionospheric observable
is affected by a systematic error, produced by code-delay multi-path through the levelling procedure; and (2) receiver IFB
may experience significant changes during 1 day. The magnitude of both effects depends on the receiver/antenna configuration.
Levelling errors found in this research vary from 1.4 total electron content units (TECU) to 5.3 TECU. In addition, intra-day
vaiations of code-delay receiver IFB ranging from 1.4 to 8.8 TECU were detected. 相似文献

The characteristics of three GPS kinematic data processing models, Least Squares (LS), Kalman filtering and filtering are discussed and their advantages and disadvantages are compared. With observational data and pertinent data processing software, the applicable condition, context and effect of the three models are experimented. Results show that when the mobile platform is in uniform motion, the accuracy of the three models are almost equal; when the mobile platform is in stochastic acceleration, the accuracy of H∞ filtering model is superior to that of LS, while that of Kalman filtering is the worst. 相似文献

By utilizing the numerical technique of principal component analysis (PCA), this work analyses temporal and spatial variations of the ionosphere under various solar conditions during the period 1999–2013. Applying the PCA technique to the time series of the global ionospheric total electron content (TEC) maps provides an efficient method for analyzing the main ionospheric variability on a global scale that is able to decompose periodic variations (e.g., annual and semiannual oscillations) while retaining the asymmetry in the temporal and spatial domains (e.g., seasonal and equator anomalies). The TEC series of different local times are processed separately at two time scales: (1) the whole 15 years of the period of study and (2) the individual years. In contrast with previous studies, the analysis of the dataset of the 15 years shows that dawn (e.g., LT4–6) and late morning (LT10–12) are the more remarkable characteristic times for ionospheric variability. This study also reveals a cyclic trend of the variability with respect to local times. The first two modes, which contain 80–90% of the total variance, represent spatial distributions and temporal variations with respect to the different stages of the solar cycle and local times. Annual and semiannual variations are demodulated from the first two modes, and the results show that these variations evidently have distinct trends for daytime and nighttime. An exception is that, under active solar conditions, extremely strong solar irradiance during the daytime has a residual effect on the variability of the nighttime. 相似文献

To obtain the GLONASS satellite position at an epoch other than reference time, the satellite's equation of motion has to be integrated with broadcasting ephemerides. The iterative detecting and repairing method of cycle slips based on triple difference residuals for combined GPS/GLONASS positioning and the iterative ambiguity resolution approach suitable for combined post processing positioning are discussed systematically. Experiments show that millimeter accuracy can be achieved in short baselines with a few hours' dual frequency or even single frequency GPS/GLONASS carrier phase observations, and the precision of dual frequency observations is distinctly higher than that of single frequency observations. 相似文献

The calibration errors on experimental slant total electron content (TEC) determined with global positioning system (GPS) observations is revisited. Instead of the analysis of the calibration errors on the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable, we focus on the accuracy analysis of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable determined from a global distribution of permanent receivers. The results achieved are: (1) using data from an entire month within the last solar cycle maximum, the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable is found to be over one order of magnitude more accurate than the carrier phase leveled to code ionospheric observable and the raw code ionospheric observable. The observation error of the undifferenced ambiguity-fixed carrier phase ionospheric observable ranges from 0.05 to 0.11 total electron content unit (TECU) while that of the carrier phase leveled to code and the raw code ionospheric observable is from 0.65 to 1.65 and 3.14 to 7.48 TECU, respectively. (2) The time-varying receiver differential code bias (DCB), which presents clear day boundary discontinuity and intra-day variability pattern, contributes the most part of the observation error. This contribution is assessed by the short-term stability of the between-receiver DCB, which ranges from 0.06 to 0.17 TECU in a single day. (3) The remaining part of the observation errors presents a sidereal time cycle pattern, indicating the effects of the multipath. Further, the magnitude of the remaining part implies that the code multipath effects are much reduced. (4) The intra-day variation of the between-receiver DCB of the collocated stations suggests that estimating DCBs as a daily constant can have a mis-modeling error of at least several tenths of 1 TECU. 相似文献

GPS data processing with equivalent observation equations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Guochang Xu 《GPS Solutions》2002,6(1-2):28-33
A unified GPS data processing method based on equivalent observation equations is proposed. The theoretic background of this
method is given in detail. By selecting the unknowns to be eliminated as vector of zeros, i.e. the satellite clock errors,
all clock errors, the clock and ambiguity parameters or user-defined unknowns, the equivalent observation equations can be
formed. These equations are equivalent to the zero-, single-, double-, triple- or user-defined differenced equations. The
advantages of the method are that the various GPS data processing methods are unified to a unique one, whereas the observation
vector remains the original one and the weight matrix keeps the un-correlated diagonal form. Using this equivalent method
one may selectively reduce the number of unknowns without having to deal with the correlations. Several special cases of single,
double and triple difference are discussed in detail to illustrate the theory.

GPS slant total electron content accuracy using the single layer model under different geomagnetic regions and ionospheric conditions 总被引:8,自引:3,他引:5
The use of observations from the Global Positioning System (GPS) has significantly impacted the study of the ionosphere. As
it is widely known, dual-frequency GPS observations can provide very precise estimation of the slant Total Electron Content
(sTEC—the linear integral of the electron density along a ray-path) and that the precision level is bounded by the carrier-phase
noise and multi-path effects on both frequencies. Despite its precision, GPS sTEC estimations can be systematically affected
by errors in the estimation of the satellites and receivers by Inter-Frequency Biases (IFB) that are simultaneously determined
with the sTEC. Thus, the ultimate accuracy of the GPS sTEC estimation is determined by the errors with which the IFBs are
estimated. This contribution attempts to assess the accuracy of IFBs estimation techniques based on the single layer model
for different ionospheric regions (low, mid and high magnetic latitude); different seasons (summer and winter solstices and
spring and autumn equinoxes); different solar activity levels (high and low); and different geomagnetic conditions (quiet
and very disturbed). The followed strategy relies upon the generation of a synthetic data set free of IFB, multi-path, measurement
noise and of any other error source. Therefore, when a data set with such properties is used as the input of the IFB estimation
algorithms, any deviation from zero on the estimated IFBs should be taken as indications of the errors introduced by the estimation
technique. The truthfulness of this assessment work is warranted by the fact that the synthetic data sets resemble, as realistically
as possible, the different conditions that may happen in the real ionosphere. The results of this work show that during the
high solar activity period the accuracy for the estimated sTEC is approximately of ±10 TECu for the low geomagnetic region
and of ±2.2 TECu for the mid-latitude. During low solar activity the accuracy can be assumed to be in the order of ±2 TECu.
For the geomagnetic high-disturbed period, the results show that the accuracy is degraded for those stations located over
the region where the storm has the strongest impact, but for those stations over regions where the storm has a moderate effect,
the accuracy is comparable to that obtained in the quiet period. 相似文献

Global Positioning System (GPS) is being actively applied to measure static and dynamic displacement responses of large civil engineering structures under winds. However, multipath effects and low sampling frequencies affect the accuracy of GPS for displacement measurement. On the other hand, accelerometers cannot reliably measure static and low-frequency structural responses, but can accurately measure high-frequency structural responses. Therefore, this paper explores the possibility of integrating GPS-measured signals with accelerometer-measured signals to enhance the measurement accuracy of total (static plus dynamic) displacement response of a structure. Integrated data processing techniques using both empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and an adaptive filter are presented. A series of motion simulation table tests are then performed at a site using three GPS receivers, one accelerometer, and one motion simulation table that can simulate various types of motion defined by input wave time histories around a pre-defined static position. The proposed data processing techniques are applied to the recorded GPS and accelerometer data to find both static and dynamic displacements. These results are compared with the actual displacement motions generated by the motion simulation table. The comparative results demonstrate that the proposed technique can significantly enhance the measurement accuracy of the total displacement of a structure. 相似文献

The main scope of this research is to assess the ultimate accuracy that can be achieved for the slant total electron content
(sTEC) estimated from dual-frequency global positioning system (GPS) observations which depends, primarily, on the calibration
of the inter-frequency biases (IFB). Two different calibration approaches are analyzed: the so-called satellite-by-satellite
one, which involves levelling the carrier-phase to the code-delay GPS observations and then the IFB estimation; and the so-called
arc-by-arc one, which avoids the use of code-delay observations but requires the estimation of arc-dependent biases. Two strategies
are used for the analysis: the first one compares calibrated sTEC from two co-located GPS receivers that serve to assess the
levelling errors; and the second one, assesses the model error using synthetic data free of calibration error, produced with
a specially developed technique. The results show that the arc-by-arc calibration technique performs better than the satellite-by-satellite
one for mid-latitudes, while the opposite happens for low-latitudes. 相似文献
