Arcsecond-level accuracy of NASA's ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite) satellite laser altimeter beam pointing
angle is required to satisfy the scientific goal of detecting centimeter-level elevation changes, over time, in the Greenland
and Antarctic ice sheets. Two different approaches, termed “topographic inferred” and “direct detection”, were examined for
calibrating the laser pointing angle (that is, detecting and removing pointing determination bias) at the 1.5-arcsec level,
using information independent of the onboard pointing instrumentation. Both approaches entail estimating the beam pointing
by differencing the three-dimensional position of the altimeter instrument and the laser-beam spot (or “footprint”) location
on the ground. Analytical assessments of the two approaches are discussed, along with recommendations for the ICESat pointing
determination calibration strategy.

A formula for computing the gravity disturbance from the second radial derivative of the disturbing potential 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
J. Li 《Journal of Geodesy》2002,76(4):226-231
A formula for computing the gravity disturbance and gravity anomaly from the second radial derivative of the disturbing potential
is derived in detail using the basic differential equation with spherical approximation in physical geodesy and the modified
Poisson integral formula. The derived integral in the space domain, expressed by a spherical geometric quantity, is then converted
to a convolution form in the local planar rectangular coordinate system tangent to the geoid at the computing point, and the
corresponding spectral formulae of 1-D FFT and 2-D FFT are presented for numerical computation.

The performance of the L-curve criterion and of the generalized cross-validation (GCV) method for the Tikhonov regularization
of the ill-conditioned normal equations associated with the determination of the gravity field from satellite gravity gradiometry
is investigated. Special attention is devoted to the computation of the corner point of the L-curve, to the numerically efficient
computation of the trace term in the GCV target function, and to the choice of the norm of the residuals, which is important
for the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) in the presence of colored observation noise. The
trace term in the GCV target function is estimated using an unbiased minimum-variance stochastic estimator. The performance
analysis is based on a simulation of gravity gradients along a 60-day repeat circular orbit and a gravity field recovery complete
up to degree and order 300. Randomized GCV yields the optimal regularization parameter in all the simulations if the colored
noise is properly taken into account. Moreover, it seems to be quite robust against the choice of the norm of the residuals.
It performs much better than the L-curve criterion, which always yields over-smooth solutions. The numerical costs for randomized
GCV are limited provided that a reasonable first guess of the regularization parameter can be found.

An efficient algorithm is proposed for gravity field recovery from Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer
(GOCE) satellite gravity gradient observations. The mathematical model is formulated in the time domain, which allows the
inclusion of realistic observational noise models. The algorithm combines the iterative solution of the normal equations,
using a Richardson-type iteration scheme, with the fast computation of the right-hand side of the normal equations in each
iteration step by a suitable approximation of the design matrix. The convergence of the iteration is investigated, error estimates
are provided, and the unbiasedness of the method is proved. It is also shown that the method does not converge to the solution
of the normal equations. The performance of the approach for white noise and coloured noise is demonstrated along a simulated
GOCE orbit up to spherical harmonic degree and order 180. The results also indicate that the approximation error may be neglected.

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.

Stochastic assessment of GPS carrier phase measurements for precise static relative positioning 总被引:17,自引:11,他引:17
Global positioning system (GPS) carrier phase measurements are used in all precise static relative positioning applications.
The GPS carrier phase measurements are generally processed using the least-squares method, for which both functional and stochastic
models need to be carefully defined. Whilst the functional model for precise GPS positioning is well documented in the literature,
realistic stochastic modelling for the GPS carrier phase measurements is still both a controversial topic and a difficult
task to accomplish in practice. The common practice of assuming that the raw GPS measurements are statistically independent
in space and time, and have the same accuracy, is certainly not realistic. Any mis-specification in the stochastic model will
inevitably lead to unreliable positioning results. A stochastic assessment procedure has been developed to take into account
the heteroscedastic, space- and time-correlated error structure of the GPS measurements. Test results indicate that the reliability
of the estimated positioning results is improved by applying the developed stochastic assessment procedure. In addition, the
quality of ambiguity resolution can be more realistically evaluated.

Dual algebraic formulation of differential GPS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A new approach to differential GPS is presented. The corresponding theoretical framework calls on elementary concepts of
algebraic graph theory. The notion of double difference, which is related to that of closure in the sense of Kirchhoff, is
revisited in this context. The Moore–Penrose pseudo-inverse of the closure operator plays a key role in the corresponding
dual formulation. This approach, which is very attractive from a conceptual point of view, sheds a new light on the Teunissen
formulation.

The recovery of a full set of gravity field parameters from satellite gravity gradiometry (SGG) is a huge numerical and computational
task. In practice, parallel computing has to be applied to estimate the more than 90 000 harmonic coefficients parameterizing
the Earth's gravity field up to a maximum spherical harmonic degree of 300. Three independent solution strategies (preconditioned
conjugate gradient method, semi-analytic approach, and distributed non-approximative adjustment), which are based on different
concepts, are assessed and compared both theoretically and on the basis of a realistic-as-possible numerical simulation regarding
the accuracy of the results, as well as the computational effort. Special concern is given to the correct treatment of the
coloured noise characteristics of the gradiometer. The numerical simulations show that the three methods deliver nearly identical
results—even in the case of large data gaps in the observation time series. The newly proposed distributed non-approximative
adjustment approach, which is the only one of the three methods that solves the inverse problem in a strict sense, also turns
out to be a feasible method for practical applications.

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 new GFZ/GRGS gravity field models GRIM5-S1 and GRIM5-C1, currently used as initial models for the CHAMP mission, have
been compared with other recent models (JGM 3, EGM 96) for radial orbit accuracy (by means of latitude lumped coefficients)
in computations on altimetry satellite orbits. The bases for accuracy judgements are multi-year averages of crossover sea
height differences from Geosat and ERS 1/2 missions. This radially sensitive data is fully independent of the data used to
develop these gravity models. There is good agreement between the observed differences in all of the world's oceans and projections
of the same errors from the scaled covariance matrix of their harmonic geopotential coefficients. It was found that the tentative
scale factor of five for the formal standard deviations of the harmonic coefficients of the new GRIM fields is justified,
i.e. the accuracy estimates, provided together with the GRIM geopotential coefficients, are realistic.

Downward continuation and geoid determination based on band-limited airborne gravity data 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:4
The downward continuation of the harmonic disturbing gravity potential, derived at flight level from discrete observations
of airborne gravity by the spherical Hotine integral, to the geoid is discussed. The initial-boundary-value approach, based
on both the direct and inverse solution to Dirichlet's problem of potential theory, is used. Evaluation of the discretized
Fredholm integral equation of the first kind and its inverse is numerically tested using synthetic airborne gravity data.
Characteristics of the synthetic gravity data correspond to typical airborne data used for geoid determination today and in
the foreseeable future: discrete gravity observations at a mean flight height of 2 to 6 km above mean sea level with minimum
spatial resolution of 2.5 arcmin and a noise level of 1.5 mGal. Numerical results for both approaches are presented and discussed.
The direct approach can successfully be used for the downward continuation of airborne potential without any numerical instabilities
associated with the inverse approach. In addition to these two-step approaches, a one-step procedure is also discussed. This
procedure is based on a direct relationship between gravity disturbances at flight level and the disturbing gravity potential
at sea level. This procedure provided the best results in terms of accuracy, stability and numerical efficiency. As a general
result, numerically stable downward continuation of airborne gravity data can be seen as another advantage of airborne gravimetry
in the field of geoid determination.

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.

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.

The latest gravimetric geoid model for Japan, JGEOID2000, was successfully combined with the nationwide net of GPS at benchmarks,
yielding a new hybrid geoid model for Japan, GSIGEO2000. The least-squares collocation (LSC) method was applied as an interpolation
for fitting JGEOID2000 to the GPS/leveling geoid undulations. The GPS/leveling geoid undulation data were reanalyzed in advance,
in terms of three-dimensional positions from GPS and orthometric heights from leveling. The new hybrid geoid model is, therefore,
compatible with the new Japanese geodetic reference frame. GSIGEO2000 was evaluated internally and independently and the precision
was estimated at 4 cm throughout nearly the whole region.

The scale factor of a superconducting gravimeter (SG) at the Esashi Earth Tides Station, Japan, was revised by repeating co-located absolute gravity measurements with an FG5 gravimeter. Although the calibration results from the absolute gravimeter (AG) show an apparent secular change in the scale factor of the SG (0.4% for the period 1993–2002), the relative scale factors, which are determined by tidal analysis with the response method, indicate that it has changed by no more than 0.01% during the above period. If the mean scale factor over the 10 years is adopted, a value of –56.082±0.029 Gal/V (1 Gal =10–8 m s–2) is obtained, which is about 0.4% smaller than that used in the global geodynamics project (GGP) database. Based on this newly determined scale factor, the tidal gravity factors at Esashi have been re-estimated. The observed tidal factors, corrected for the ocean tide effects with recent models, indicate that the theoretical gravity factors for an inelastic Earth model are more consistent with the observations than are those for an elastic model. 相似文献

The problem of phase ambiguity resolution in global positioning system (GPS) theory is considered. The Bayesian approach
is applied to this problem and, using Monte Carlo simulation to search over the integer candidates, a practical expression
for the Bayesian estimator is obtained. The analysis of the integer grid points inside the search ellipsoid and their evolution
with time, while measurements are accumulated, leads to the development of a Bayesian theory based on a mathematical mixture
model for the ambiguity.

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.

A synthetic Earth for use in geodesy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R. Haagmans 《Journal of Geodesy》2000,74(7-8):503-511
A synthetic Earth and its gravity field that can be represented at different resolutions for testing and comparing existing
and new methods used for global gravity-field determination are created. Both the boundary and boundary values of the gravity
potential can be generated. The approach chosen also allows observables to be generated at aircraft flight height or at satellite
altitude. The generation of the synthetic Earth shape (SES) and gravity-field quantities is based upon spherical harmonic
expansions of the isostatically compensated equivalent rock topography and the EGM96 global geopotential model. Spherical
harmonic models are developed for both the synthetic Earth topography (SET) and the synthetic Earth potential (SEP) up to
degree and order 2160 corresponding to a 5′×5′ resolution. Various sets of SET, SES and SEP with boundary geometry and boundary
values at different resolutions can be generated using low-pass filters applied to the expansions. The representation is achieved
in point sets based upon refined triangulation of a octahedral geometry projected onto the chosen reference ellipsoid. The
filter cut-offs relate to the sampling pattern in order to avoid aliasing effects. Examples of the SET and its gravity field
are shown for a resolution with a Nyquist sampling rate of 8.27 degrees.

This paper generalizes the Stokes formula from the spherical boundary surface to the ellipsoidal boundary surface. The resulting
solution (ellipsoidal geoidal height), consisting of two parts, i.e. the spherical geoidal height N
0 evaluated from Stokes's formula and the ellipsoidal correction N
1, makes the relative geoidal height error decrease from O(e
2) to O(e
4), which can be neglected for most practical purposes. The ellipsoidal correction N
1 is expressed as a sum of an integral about the spherical geoidal height N
0 and a simple analytical function of N
0 and the first three geopotential coefficients. The kernel function in the integral has the same degree of singularity at
the origin as the original Stokes function. A brief comparison among this and other solutions shows that this solution is
more effective than the solutions of Molodensky et al. and Moritz and, when the evaluation of the ellipsoidal correction N
1 is done in an area where the spherical geoidal height N
0 has already been evaluated, it is also more effective than the solution of Martinec and Grafarend.
