Continuous (CONT) VLBI campaigns have been carried out about every 3 years since 2002. The basic idea of these campaigns is to acquire state-of-the-art VLBI data over a continuous time period of about 2 weeks to demonstrate the highest accuracy of which the current VLBI system is capable. In addition, these campaigns support scientific studies such as investigations of high-resolution Earth rotation, reference frame stability, and daily to sub-daily site motions. The size of the CONT networks and the observing data rate have increased steadily since 1994. Performance of these networks based on reference frame scale precision and polar motion/LOD comparison with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) earth orientation parameters (EOP) has been substantially better than the weekly operational R1 and R4 series. The precisions of CONT EOP and scale have improved by more than a factor of two since 2002. Polar motion precision based on the WRMS difference between VLBI and GNSS for the most recent CONT campaigns is at the 30 \(\upmu \)as level, which is comparable to that of GNSS. The CONT campaigns are a natural precursor to the planned future VLBI observing networks, which are expected to observe continuously. We compare the performance of the most recent CONT campaigns in 2011 and 2014 with the expected performance of the future VLBI global observing system network using simulations. These simulations indicate that the expected future precision of scale and EOP will be at least 3 times better than the current CONT precision. 相似文献

In this paper, a new geometry index of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observing networks, the volume of network
V, is examined as an indicator of the errors in the Earth orientation parameters (EOP) obtained from VLBI observations. It
has been shown that both EOP precision and accuracy can be well described by the power law σ = aV
c
in a wide range of the network size from domestic to global VLBI networks. In other words, as the network volume grows, the
EOP errors become smaller following a power law. This should be taken into account for a proper comparison of EOP estimates
obtained from different VLBI networks. Thus, performing correct EOP comparison allows us to investigate accurately finer factors
affecting the EOP errors. In particular, it was found that the dependence of the EOP precision and accuracy on the recording
data rate can also be described by a power law. One important conclusion is that the EOP accuracy depends primarily on the
network geometry and to lesser extent on other factors, such as recording mode and data rate and scheduling parameters, whereas
these factors have a stronger impact on the EOP precision. 相似文献

We have used Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data to compute the site coordinates and constant velocity components for 29 fixed antenna sites and 25 mobile sites. The three singularities which occur in the adjustment with respect to the rotation of the system have been resolved by a constraint holding the net rotation of seven fixed antennas, distributed on the stable portions of four of the geologic plates, to the net rotation for these sites as defined by the NNR-NUVEL1 no net rotation model. In order to achieve a minimally constrained adjustment of this type we have found it necessary to use a new adjustment procedure in which we solve for the coordinates of each site at the weighted mean epoch of all the observations involving that site.Using the results of the above solution we have computed the departure for each site from the NNR-NUVEL1 rigid plate model. These departures show that the transition zone in western North America from the region of rigidity to the plate boundary is at least 400 km wide, in general agreement with Ward (1988,1990). 相似文献

Correlation algorithms for geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) can now be effectively implemented on parallel
computers of modest size. We have undertaken a detailed comparison of the output from a trusted geodetic correlator, one that
has supported global geodetic VLBI observations for many years, with the output of a software correlator implemented on a
small parallel computing cluster. We show that the correlator outputs agree closely, within expected error bounds, after accounting
for the differences in the adopted geometric delay models, and therefore that use of the software correlator is feasible for
geodetic VLBI processing, as a first step toward routine geodetic data processing. Recent developments in software correlation
for geodesy are discussed, including the possibility of real-time processing options. 相似文献

European geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) sessions (also known as EUROPE sessions) have been carried out
on a regular basis for the past 15 years to study relative crustal motions within Europe. These sessions are based on observations
of extragalactic radio sources, which serve as distant fiducial marks to establish an accurate and stable celestial reference
frame for long-term geodetic measurements. The radio sources, however, are not always point-like on milliarcsecond scales,
as VLBI imaging has revealed. In this work, we quantify the magnitude of the expected effect of intrinsic source structure
on geodetic bandwidth synthesis delay VLBI measurements for a subset of 14 sources regularly observed during the EUROPE sessions.
These sources have been imaged at both X-band (8.4 GHz) and S-band (2.3 GHz) based on dedicated observations acquired with
the European VLBI Network (EVN) in November 1996. The results of this calculation indicate that the reference source 0457+024
causes significant structural effects in measurements obtained on European VLBI baselines (about 10 picoseconds on average),
whereas most of the other sources produce effects that are only occasionally larger than a few picoseconds. Applying the derived
source structure models to the data of the EUROPE5-96 session carried out at the same epoch as the EVN experiment shows no
noticeable changes in the estimated VLBI station locations. 相似文献
