Short note: Crustal deformation in the key stone network detected by satellite laser ranging

The paper presents the results of crustal deformation, as evidenced by changed station coordinates, in the Tokyo metropolitan area detected by the satellite laser ranging (SLR) technique. The coordinates of two Key Stone SLR stations, Tateyama and Kashima, were determined from 4 weeks of orbital arcs of the LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2 satellites with respect to 16 SLR stations kept fixed in the ITRF2000 reference frame. The station coordinates were calculated using the NASA GEODYN-II orbital program. The orbital RMS-of-fit for both satellites was 16 mm. The standard deviation of the estimated positions was 3 mm. A jump of about 5 cm in the baseline length between the Kashima and Tateyama stations was detected in June–August 2000 by VLBI and GPS techniques. This work confirms this crustal deformation as determined by SLR and vice versa. Analysis of coordinates of these stations shows that this effect was caused by a 4.5-cm displacement of the Tateyama station in the north-east direction. The change in the vertical component was not significant.     

三峡库水位变化过程中的地壳垂直形变与重力变化监测

监测三峡库水位变化过程中的地壳垂直形变和重力变化,对三峡水库的安全运行和区域地质灾害监测防治等具有重要意义。本文从直接计算、实际测量和综合解算3个方面研究了三峡库水位变化过程中地壳垂直形变和重力变化。基于资源三号卫星影像提取的水体数据,结合水位数据,直接计算了三峡水库蓄放水从145~175m每隔5m的影响,地壳垂直形变最大可达30mm,对重力影响超过20μGal(1Gal=10~(-2) m/s~2)的范围距离长江中心线约2km内。库区较近的巴东CORS站(ES13)能够实际测量到库水位变化过程中的地壳垂直形变。由于目前三峡库区的CORS站和重力台站数量较少,分布不均,还不能满足紧密跟踪三峡库水位变化过程中的监测需求。利用三峡地区26座CORS站和部分重力台站数据,基于负荷形变理论和球谐分析方法,综合解算了库水位变化过程中的地壳垂直形变和重力变化,与实际CORS监测结果一致。通过对比分析发现,基于CORS站网的综合解算,能够有效提升对库水位变化过程中的地壳垂直形变和重力变化的监测能力。     

Assessment of long-range kinematic GPS positioning errors by comparison with airborne laser altimetry and satellite altimetry

Long-range airborne laser altimetry and laser scanning (LIDAR) or airborne gravity surveys in, for example, polar or oceanic areas require airborne kinematic GPS baselines of many hundreds of kilometers in length. In such instances, with the complications of ionospheric biases, it can be a real challenge for traditional differential kinematic GPS software to obtain reasonable solutions. In this paper, we will describe attempts to validate an implementation of the precise point positioning (PPP) technique on an aircraft without the use of a local GPS reference station. We will compare PPP solutions with other conventional GPS solutions, as well as with independent data by comparison of airborne laser data with “ground truth” heights. The comparisons involve two flights: A July 5, 2003, airborne laser flight line across the North Atlantic from Iceland to Scotland, and a May 24, 2004, flight in an area of the Arctic Ocean north of Greenland, near-coincident in time and space with the ICESat satellite laser altimeter. Both of these flights were more than 800 km long. Comparisons between different GPS methods and four different software packages do not suggest a clear preference for any one, with the heights generally showing decimeter-level agreement. For the comparison with the independent ICESat- and LIDAR-derived “ground truth” of ocean or sea-ice heights, the statistics of comparison show a typical fit of around 10 cm RMS in the North Atlantic, and 30 cm in the sea-ice region north of Greenland. Part of the latter 30 cm error is likely due to errors in the airborne LIDAR measurement and calibration, as well as errors in the “ground truth” ocean surfaces due to drifting sea-ice. Nevertheless, the potential of the PPP method for generating 10 cm level kinematic height positioning over long baselines is illustrated.     

Satellite emission radio interferometric earth surveying series—GPS geodetic system

The satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) offer an important new geodetic resource making possible a highly accurate portable radio geodetic system. A concept called SERIES (Satellite Emission Radio Interferometric Earth Surveying) makes use of GPS radio transmissions without any satellite modifications. By employing the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) and its calibration methods, 0.5 to 3 cm three dimensional baseline accuracy can be achieved over distances of 2 to 200 km respectively, with only 2 hours of on-site data acquisition. The use of quasar referenced ARIES Mobile VLBI to establish a sparse fundamental control grid will provide a basis for making SERIES GPS measurements traceable to the time-invariant quasar directions. Using four SERIES stations deployed at previously established ARIES sites, allows the GPS satellite apparent positions to be determined. These apparent positions then serve as calibrations for other SERIES stations at unknown locations to determine their positions in a manner traceable to the quasars. Because this proposed radio interferometric configuration accomplishes its signal detection by cross-correlation, there is no dependence upon knowledge of the GPS transmitted waveforms which might be encrypted. Since GPS radio signal strengths are 10⁵ stronger than quasar signals, a great reduction in telecommunications sophistication is possible which will result in an order of magnitude less cost for a SERIES GPS station compared to a quasar based mobile VLBI system. The virtually all-weather capability of SERIES offers cost-effective geodetic monitoring with applications to crustal dynamics and earthquake research.     

Surface reconstruction and landslide displacement measurements with Pléiades satellite images

Recent advances in image-matching techniques and VHR satellite imaging at submeter resolution theoretically offer the possibility to measure Earth surface displacements with decimetric precision. However, this possibility has yet not been explored and requirements of ground control and external topographic datasets are considered as important bottlenecks that hinder a more common application of optical image correlation for displacement measurements. This article describes an approach combining spaceborne stereo-photogrammetry, orthorectification and sub-pixel image correlation to measure the horizontal surface displacement of landslides from Pléiades satellite images. The influence of the number of ground-control points on the accuracy of the image orientation, the extracted surface models and the estimated displacement rates is quantified through comparisons with airborne laser scan and in situ global navigation satellite measurements at permanent stations. The comparison shows a maximum error of 0.13 m which is one order of magnitude more accurate than what has been previously reported with spaceborne optical images from other sensors. The obtained results indicate that the approach can be applied without significant loss in accuracy when no ground control points are available. It could, therefore, greatly facilitate displacement measurements for a broad range of applications.     

Analytical solar radiation pressure modelling for GLONASS using a pixel array

 A new method for calculating analytical solar radiation pressure models for GNSS spacecraft has been developed. The method simulates the flux of light from the Sun using a pixel array. The method can cope with a high level of complexity in the spacecraft structure and models effects due to reflected light. Models have been calculated and tested for the Russhar global navigation satellite system GLONASS IIv spacecraft. Results are presented using numerical integration of the force model and long-arc satellite laser ranging (SLR) analysis. The integrated trajectory differs from a precise orbit calculated using a network of global tracking stations by circa 2 m root mean square over a 160 000-km arc. The observed − computed residuals for the 400-day SLR arc are circa 28 mm. Received: 23 December 1999 / Accepted: 28 August 2000     

Improvement in global gravity field recovery using GFZ-1 satellite laser tracking data

The passive satellite GFZ-1 has been orbiting the Earth since April 1995. The purpose of this mission is to improve the current knowledge of the Earth's gravity field by analysing gravitational orbit perturbations observed at unique low altitudes, below 400 km. GFZ-1 is one target of the international satellite laser ranging ground network. An evaluation of the first 30 months of GFZ-1 laser tracking data led to a new version of the global GRIM4-S4 satellite-only gravity field model: GRIM4-S4G. Information was obtained from GFZ-1 data for spherical harmonic coefficients up to degree 100, which was not possible in any earlier satellite-only gravity field solution. GFZ-1's contribution to a global 5 × 5° geoid and gravity field representations is moderate but visible with a 1 cm and 0.1 mGal gain in accuracy on a level of 75 cm and 5 mGal, respectively.

资源三号02星对地激光测高系统几何检校及验证

星载激光测高仪安装误差、激光指向和激光测距误差等导致最终激光测高精度不高,对激光器进行在轨几何检校可以有效提升激光测高精度。针对资源三号02星（ZY3-02）激光测高仪的工作模式,以裸露地表的航天飞机雷达地形测绘任务（shuttle radar topography mission,SRTM）数字高程模型（digital elevation model,DEM）数据约束同轨激光测距值,通过逼近地形起伏趋势线实现了卫星激光器出射方向的初始检校,实验证明不同轨激光指向的相对检校精度在20 m以内。利用地面铺设激光靶标的方法对星载激光测高系统进行几何精检校,并通过外业测量验证了ZY3-02激光器在平坦区域的测高精度优于0.5 m。     

星载GNSS-R海冰边界探测方法

针对星载接收平台提出了一种利用全球导航卫星系统反射信号（Global Navigation Satellite Systemreflectometry,GNSS-R）进行海冰边界探测的方法。该方法利用导航卫星信号经海冰和海水表面散射后反射信号时延相关功率映射（delay map,DM）的差异,结合镜面反射点位置来探测海冰边界。利用自适应阈值调整算法处理TDS-1卫星数据,获取有效的DM数据,进而得到DM衍生量随镜面反射点位置的变化趋势,并设置DM衍生量的阈值来识别海冰。与全球海冰分布图对比发现,DM衍生量阈值对应的镜面反射点位置与海冰分布图的海冰边界位置基本吻合,证明了DM的有效区时延距离、相关功率的峰值和归一化标准差均可用于海冰边界探测,星载GNSS-R技术在海冰边界探测领域具有较大潜力。     

Simulation study of a follow-on gravity mission to GRACE

The gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) has been providing monthly estimates of the Earth’s time-variable gravity field since its launch in March 2002. The GRACE gravity estimates are used to study temporal mass variations on global and regional scales, which are largely caused by a redistribution of water mass in the Earth system. The accuracy of the GRACE gravity fields are primarily limited by the satellite-to-satellite range-rate measurement noise, accelerometer errors, attitude errors, orbit errors, and temporal aliasing caused by un-modeled high-frequency variations in the gravity signal. Recent work by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, CO has resulted in the successful development of an interferometric laser ranging system to specifically address the limitations of the K-band microwave ranging system that provides the satellite-to-satellite measurements for the GRACE mission. Full numerical simulations are performed for several possible configurations of a GRACE Follow-On (GFO) mission to determine if a future satellite gravity recovery mission equipped with a laser ranging system will provide better estimates of time-variable gravity, thus benefiting many areas of Earth systems research. The laser ranging system improves the range-rate measurement precision to ~0.6 nm/s as compared to ~0.2 μm/s for the GRACE K-band microwave ranging instrument. Four different mission scenarios are simulated to investigate the effect of the better instrument at two different altitudes. The first pair of simulated missions is flown at GRACE altitude (~480 km) assuming on-board accelerometers with the same noise characteristics as those currently used for GRACE. The second pair of missions is flown at an altitude of ~250 km which requires a drag-free system to prevent satellite re-entry. In addition to allowing a lower satellite altitude, the drag-free system also reduces the errors associated with the accelerometer. All simulated mission scenarios assume a two satellite co-orbiting pair similar to GRACE in a near-polar, near-circular orbit. A method for local time variable gravity recovery through mass concentration blocks (mascons) is used to form simulated gravity estimates for Greenland and the Amazon region for three GFO configurations and GRACE. Simulation results show that the increased precision of the laser does not improve gravity estimation when flown with on-board accelerometers at the same altitude and spacecraft separation as GRACE, even when time-varying background models are not included. This study also shows that only modest improvement is realized for the best-case scenario (laser, low-altitude, drag-free) as compared to GRACE due to temporal aliasing errors. These errors are caused by high-frequency variations in the hydrology signal and imperfections in the atmospheric, oceanographic, and tidal models which are used to remove unwanted signal. This work concludes that applying the updated technologies alone will not immediately advance the accuracy of the gravity estimates. If the scientific objectives of a GFO mission require more accurate gravity estimates, then future work should focus on improvements in the geophysical models, and ways in which the mission design or data processing could reduce the effects of temporal aliasing.     

Laser-based validation of GLONASS orbits by short-arc technique

 The International GLONASS Experiment (IGEX-98) was carried out between 19 October 1998 and 19 April 1999. Among several objectives was the precise orbit determination of GPS and GLONASS satellites and its validation by laser ranging observations. Local laser-based orbit corrections (radial, tangential and normal components in a rotating orbital local reference frame) are computed using a geometrical short-arc technique. The order of magnitude of these corrections is at the level of few decimeters, depending on the considered components. The orbit corrections are analyzed as a function of several parameters (date, orbital plane, geographical area). The mean corrections are at the level of several centimeters. However, when averaging over the entire campaign and for all the satellites, no mean radial, tangential and normal orbit corrections are found. The origin of the observed corrections is considered (errors due to the geocentric gravitational constant, the non-gravitational forces, the thermal equilibrium of on-board equipment, the reference systems, the location and the signature of the retroreflector array, and the precision of the satellite laser ranges). Some features are also due to errors in the radio-tracking GLONASS orbits. Further investigations will be needed to better understand the origin of various biases.

Laser station coordinates and baselines from long-ARC and short-ARC analyses of starlette

Laser ranging to Starlette from April 1983 to April 1984 has been used to determine a coordinate set, UASC.ST1, of laser reference points for 18 tracking stations. The coordinates were derived by application of the least-squares data reduction procedure in a simultaneous solution along with geodynamic parameters for 49 near consecutive 5–6 day arcs. Comparisons with the University of Texas station coordinates,LSC 8112 andLSC 8402, and theRGO, Herstmonceux, coordinates,RGOSC.LG2, reveal consistency to near 30 cm in each coordinate. Furthermore, the translation vectors of the comparisons are not significantly different from zero indicating consistency in the implied origins of the systems. The period of analysis included seven occasions in which STARLETTE was tracked near simultaneously by three or four laser stations in North America. Using the short arcs as reference frameworks, station coordinates were determined by application of two contrasting methods, namely, a multi-arc simultaneous analysis and a weighted mean of the individual pass solutions. The former compared more favourably with baselines from the long-arc solution with anRMS error of near 16 cm. Comparison against theLSC 8402 coordinates confirmed that baselines accurate to within 15 cm can be achieved by satellite laser ranging to Starlette.

Long-wavelength global gravity field models: GRIM4-S4, GRIM4-C4

Summary.  GFZ Potsdam and GRGS Toulouse/Grasse jointly developed a new pair of global models of the Earth's gravity field to satisfy the requirements of the recent and future geodetic and altimeter satellite missions. A precise gravity model is a prerequisite for precise satellite orbit restitution, tracking station positioning and altimeter data reduction. According to different applications envisaged, the new model exists in two parallel versions: the first one being derived exclusively from satellite tracking data acquired on 34 satellites, the second one further incorporating satellite altimeter data over the oceans and terrestrial gravity data. The most recent “satellite-only” gravity model is labelled GRIM4-S4 and the “combined” gravity model GRIM4-C4. The models are solutions in spherical harmonics and have a resolution up to degree and order 60 plus a few resonance terms in the case of GRIM4-S4, and up to degree/order 72 in the case of GRIM4-C4, corresponding to a spatial resolution of 555 km at the Earth's surface. The gravitational coefficients were estimated in a rigorous least squares adjustment simultaneously with ocean tidal terms and tracking station position parameters, so that each gravity model is associated with a consistent ocean tide model and a terrestrial reference frame built up by over 300 optical, laser and Doppler tracking stations. Comprehensive quality tests with external data and models, and test arc computations over a wide range of satellites have demonstrated the state-of-the-art capabilities of both solutions in long-wavelength geoid representation and in precise orbit computation.

A grid-based tropospheric product for China using a GNSS network

Tropospheric delay accounts for one source of error in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). To better characterize the tropospheric delays in the temporal and spatial domain and facilitate the safety-critical use of GNSS across China, a method is proposed to generate a grid-based tropospheric product (GTP) using the GNSS network with an empirical tropospheric model, known as IGGtrop. The prototype system generates the GTPs in post-processing and real-time modes and is based on the undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning (UU-PPP) technique. GTPs are constructed for a grid form (\(2.0{^{\circ }}\times 2.5{^{\circ }}\) latitude–longitude) over China with a time resolution of 5 min. The real-time GTP messages are encoded in a self-defined RTCM3 format and broadcast to users using NTRIP (networked transport of RTCM via internet protocol), which enables efficient and safe transmission to real-time users. Our approach for GTP generation consists of three sequential steps. In the first step, GNSS-derived zenith tropospheric delays (ZTDs) for a network of GNSS stations are estimated using UU-PPP. In the second step, vertical adjustments for the GNSS-derived ZTDs are applied to address the height differences between the GNSS stations and grid points. The ZTD height corrections are provided by the IGGtrop model. Finally, an inverse distance weighting method is used to interpolate the GNSS-derived ZTDs from the surrounding GNSS stations to the location of the grid point. A total of 210 global positioning system (GPS) stations from the crustal movement observation network of China are used to generate the GTPs in both post-processing and real-time modes. The accuracies of the GTPs are assessed against with ERA-Interim-derived ZTDs and the GPS-derived ZTDs at 12 test GPS stations, respectively. The results show that the post-processing and real-time GTPs can provide the ZTDs with accuracies of 1.4 and 1.8 cm, respectively. We also apply the GTPs in real-time kinematic GPS PPP, and the results show that the convergence time of the PPP solutions is shortened. These results confirm that the GTPs can act as an efficient information source to augment GNSS positioning over China.     

南京地区大气气溶胶综合观测与对比分析

利用CE-318太阳光度计、MPL激光雷达与卫星观测数据,分别采用光谱消光法、Fernald方法以及MODIS暗像元法(DDV)反演南京地区气溶胶光学厚度,并进行了对比分析。通过研究分析3月3日、6日卫星反演气溶胶光学厚度的空间分布图,发现长江流域附近以及市区(除老山、中山陵等山区地带之外)的AOD较高。3月3日太阳光度计、激光雷达与卫星数据在站点位置(南京信息工程大学,118.7°E,32.2°N)的AOD值分别为0.455、0.289、0.4;3月6日的AOD值分别为0.373、0.267、0.25。通过对比分析3月至9月之间的多天数据,可得3种数据计算所得AOD相差不大,说明卫星与激光雷达反演数据相对可靠。其中,3月3日与3月6日的太阳光度计数据显示,观测地区出现常见的两种AOD变化类型:一种是早晚高,中午低;一种是早低晚高。此外,激光雷达所得数据结果随着时间的变化幅度较大,且可以在有云的天气条件下探测气溶胶;本文利用激光雷达数据计算出的9 km以下AOD值多数在0.3左右,3月3日与3月6日两天之中,2 km以下较脏,出现了一些气溶胶层,6km以上相对比较干净,个别时段6 km以上高空存在云层。与地基观测相比,卫星虽然时间分辨率虽然低,但是对于大面积的趋势分析却有着绝对的优势。在今后的气溶胶观测发展中,结合三者的优势,有助于以较高精度,大面积反演大气气溶胶空间分布情况,获得较准确的气溶胶参数。

Lasers and satellites: A geodetic application

Experiments photographing satellite reflected laser pulses have been made to demonstrate the feasibility of using an earth-based light source to illuminate satellites. The reflection was also recorded photoelectrically for range information. The reflections are photographed against stellar backgrounds from which the angular positions of the satellites relative to the laser site can be determined. With the angular information and the range data from the laser-illuminator, the position of the satellite in space is uniquely determined. When other widely separated laser-camera sites make simultaneous observations, the location of these sites relative to the “control” site can be found.     

资源三号02星激光测高仪在轨几何检校与试验验证

我国在资源三号02星上首次搭载了一台用于对地观测的试验性载荷——激光测高仪,开展对地观测的激光测高试验。由于卫星发射时的振动以及入轨后空间环境变化等因素影响,激光测高仪的指向、测距等系统参数相对于发射前地面测量值可能发生变化,从而引起激光的平面和高程误差。本文根据资源三号02星激光测高仪特点,提出了一种基于地面探测器的在轨几何检校方法,该方法构建了以指向、测距为系统误差的严密几何检校模型,以激光测距值残差最小为原则,利用地面探测器捕获的激光光斑位置作为参考,实现系统误差参数高精度在轨几何检校。利用卫星在轨测试期间多个试验场数据进行检校后,以有关DEM数据作为地面参考比对,地形坡度小于2°区域内的激光点高程精度由检校前的100~140m提高到2~3m。利用平坦地区激光足印内少量GPS外业控制点进行验证对比,检校后激光高程测量的绝对精度优于1m。试验结果表明了资源三号02星激光测高仪在轨几何检校方法的有效性和正确性。
