Accuracy of GPS-derived relative positions as a function of interstation distance and observing-session duration 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Ten days of GPS data from 1998 were processed to determine how the accuracy of a derived three-dimensional relative position
vector between GPS antennas depends on the chord distance (denoted L) between these antennas and on the duration of the GPS observing session (denoted T). It was found that the dependence of accuracy on L is negligibly small when (a) using the `final' GPS satellite orbits disseminated by the International GPS Service, (b) fixing
integer ambiguities, (c) estimating appropriate neutral-atmosphere-delay parameters, (d) 26 km ≤ L ≤ 300 km, and (e) 4 h ≤T ≤ 24 h. Under these same conditions, the standard error for the relative position in the north–south dimension (denoted S

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.

A methodology for precise determination of the fundamental geodetic parameter w
0, the potential value of the Gauss–Listing geoid, as well as its time derivative 0, is presented. The method is based on: (1) ellipsoidal harmonic expansion of the external gravitational field of the Earth
to degree/order 360/360 (130 321 coefficients; http://www.uni-stuttgard.de/gi/research/ index.html projects) with respect
to the International Reference Ellipsoid WGD2000, at the GPS positioned stations; and (2) ellipsoidal free-air gravity reduction
of degree/order 360/360, based on orthometric heights of the GPS-positioned stations. The method has been numerically tested
for the data of three GPS campaigns of the Baltic Sea Level project (epochs 1990.8,1993.4 and 1997.4). New w
0 and 0 values (w
0=62 636 855.75 ± 0.21 m2/s2, 0=−0.0099±0.00079 m2/s2 per year, w

the high-resolution sea surface topography map for the Baltic Sea; (2) the most accurate regional geoid amongst four different
regional Gauss–Listing geoids currently proposed for the Baltic Sea; and (3) the difference between the national height datums
of countries around the Baltic Sea.

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.

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.

The AUSGeoid98 gravimetric geoid model of Australia has been computed using data from the EGM96 global geopotential model,
the 1996 release of the Australian gravity database, a nationwide digital elevation model, and satellite altimeter-derived
marine gravity anomalies. The geoid heights are on a 2 by 2 arc-minute grid with respect to the GRS80 ellipsoid, and residual
geoid heights were computed using the 1-D fast Fourier transform technique. This has been adapted to include a deterministically
modified kernel over a spherical cap of limited spatial extent in the generalised Stokes scheme. Comparisons of AUSGeoid98
with GPS and Australian Height Datum (AHD) heights across the continent give an RMS agreement of ±0.364 m, although this apparently
large value is attributed partly to distortions in the AHD.

Global mean sea surface heights (SSHs) and gravity anomalies on a 2′×2′ grid were determined from Seasat, Geosat (Exact Repeat Mission and Geodetic Mission), ERS-1 (1.5-year mean of 35-day, and
GM), TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) (5.6-year mean) and ERS-2 (2-year mean) altimeter data over the region 0∘–360∘ longitude and –80∘–80∘ latitude. To reduce ocean variabilities and data noises, SSHs from non-repeat missions were filtered by Gaussian filters
of various wavelengths. A Levitus oceanic dynamic topography was subtracted from the altimeter-derived SSHs, and the resulting
heights were used to compute along-track deflection of the vertical (DOV). Geoidal heights and gravity anomalies were then
computed from DOV using the deflection-geoid and inverse Vening Meinesz formulae. The Levitus oceanic dynamic topography was
added back to the geoidal heights to obtain a preliminary sea surface grid. The difference between the T/P mean sea surface
and the preliminary sea surface was computed on a grid by a minimum curvature method and then was added to the preliminary
grid. The comparison of the NCTU01 mean sea surface height (MSSH) with the T/P and the ERS-1 MSSH result in overall root-mean-square
(RMS) differences of 5.0 and 3.1 cm in SSH, respectively, and 7.1 and 3.2 μrad in SSH gradient, respectively. The RMS differences
between the predicted and shipborne gravity anomalies range from 3.0 to 13.4 mGal in 12 areas of the world's oceans.

GPS measurements of ocean loading and its impact on zenith tropospheric delay estimates: a case study in Brittany, France 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
S. Vey E. Calais M. Llubes N. Florsch G. Woppelmann J. Hinderer M. Amalvict M. F. Lalancette B. Simon F. Duquenne J. S. Haase 《Journal of Geodesy》2002,76(8):419-427
The results from a global positioning system (GPS) experiment carried out in Brittany, France, in October 1999, aimed at
measuring crustal displacements caused by ocean loading and quantifying their effects on GPS-derived tropospheric delay estimates,
are presented. The loading effect in the vertical and horizontal position time series is identified, however with significant
disagreement in amplitude compared to ocean loading model predictions. It is shown that these amplitude misfits result from
spatial tropospheric heterogeneities not accounted for in the data processing. The effect of ocean loading on GPS-derived
zenith total delay (ZTD) estimates is investigated and a scaling factor of 4.4 between ZTD and station height for a 10° elevation
cut-off angle is found (i.e. a 4.4-cm station height error would map into a 1-cm ZTD error). Consequently, unmodeled ocean
loading effects map into significant errors in ZTD estimates and ocean loading modeling must be properly implemented when
estimating ZTD parameters from GPS data for meteorological applications. Ocean loading effects must be known with an accuracy
of better than 3 cm in order to meet the accuracy requirements of meteorological and climatological applications of GPS-derived
precipitable water vapor.

The Somigliana–Pizzetti gravity field (the International gravity formula), namely the gravity field of the level ellipsoid
(the International Reference Ellipsoid), is derived to the sub-nanoGal accuracy level in order to fulfil the demands of modern
gravimetry (absolute gravimeters, super conducting gravimeters, atomic gravimeters). Equations (53), (54) and (59) summarise
Somigliana–Pizzetti gravity Γ(φ,u) as a function of Jacobi spheroidal latitude φ and height u to the order ?(10−10 Gal), and Γ(B,H) as a function of Gauss (surface normal) ellipsoidal latitude B and height H to the order ?(10−10 Gal) as determined by GPS (`global problem solver'). Within the test area of the state of Baden-Württemberg, Somigliana–Pizzetti
gravity disturbances of an average of 25.452 mGal were produced. Computer programs for an operational application of the new
international gravity formula with (L,B,H) or (λ,φ,u) coordinate inputs to a sub-nanoGal level of accuracy are available on the Internet.

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.

Two iterative vector methods for computing geodetic coordinates (φ, h) from rectangular coordinates (x, y, z) are presented. The methods are conceptually simple, work without modification at any latitude and are easy to program. Geodetic
latitude and height can be calculated to acceptable precision in one iteration over the height range from −106 to +109 m.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Using 1 week of data from a network of GPS/GLONASS dual-tracking receivers, 15-cm accurate GLONASS orbit determination is
demonstrated with an approach that combines GPS and GLONASS data. GPS data are used to define the reference frame, synchronize
receiver clocks and determine troposphere delay for the GLONASS tracking network. GLONASS tracking data are then processed
separately, with the GPS-defined parameters held fixed, to determine the GLONASS orbit. The quality of the GLONASS orbit determination
is currently limited by the size and distribution of the tracking network, and by the unavailability of a sufficiently refined
solar pressure model. Temporal variations in the differential clock bias of the dual-tracking receivers are found to have
secondary impact on the orbit determination accuracy.

Ionospheric variation may be considered as a stationary time series under quiet conditions. However, the disturbance of a
stationary random process from stationarity results in the bias of corresponding samples from the stationary observations,
and in the change of statistical model parameters of the process. From a general mathematical aspect, a new method is presented
for monitoring ionospheric variations, based on the characteristic of time-series observation of GPS, and an investigation
of the statistical properties of the estimated auto-covariance of the random ionospheric delay when changing the number of
samples in the time series is carried out. A preliminary scheme for monitoring ionospheric delays is proposed.

The standard analytical approach which is applied for constructing geopotential models OSU86 and earlier ones, is based on
reducing the boundary value equation to a sphere enveloping the Earth and then solving it directly with respect to the potential
coefficients
n,m
. In an alternative procedure, developed by Jekeli and used for constructing the models OSU91 and EGM96, at first an ellipsoidal
harmonic series is developed for the geopotential and then its coefficients
n,m
e
are transformed to the unknown
n,m
. The second solution is more exact, but much more complicated. The standard procedure is modified and a new simple integral
formula is derived for evaluating the potential coefficients. The efficiency of the standard and new procedures is studied
numerically. In these solutions the same input data are used as for constructing high-degree parts of the EGM96 models. From
two sets of
n,m
(n≤360,|m|≤n), derived by the standard and new approaches, different spectral characteristics of the gravity anomaly and the geoid undulation
are estimated and then compared with similar characteristics evaluated by Jekeli's approach (`etalon' solution). The new solution
appears to be very close to Jekeli's, as opposed to the standard solution. The discrepancies between all the characteristics
of the new and `etalon' solutions are smaller than the corresponding discrepancies between two versions of the final geopotential
model EGM96, one of them (HDM190) constructed by the block-diagonal least squares (LS) adjustment and the other one (V068)
by using Jekeli's approach. On the basis of the derived analytical solution a new simple mathematical model is developed to
apply the LS technique for evaluating geopotential coefficients.

Two long time series were analysed: the C01 series of the International Earth Rotation Service and the pole series obtained
by re-analysis of the classical astronomical observations using the HIPPARCOS reference frame. The linear drift of the pole
was determined to be 3.31 ± 0.05 milliarcseconds/year towards 76.1 ± 0.80° west longitude. For the least-squares fit the a priori correlations between simultaneous pole coordinates x

p
were taken into account, and the weighting function was calculated by estimating empirical variance components. The decadal
variations of the pole path were investigated by Fourier and wavelet analysis. Using sliding windows, the periods and amplitudes
of the Chandler wobble and annual wobble were determined. Typical periods in the variable Chandler wobble and annual wobble
parameters were obtained from wavelet analyses.

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.
