FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC science mission update

The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC mission is a microsatellite mission for weather forecast, climate monitoring, and atmospheric, ionospheric and geodesy research. This mission is a collaborative Taiwan-USA science experiment to deploy a constellation of six microsatellites in low Earth orbits. The mission life is 2 years with a goal of 5 years. The final mission orbit has an altitude of 750–800 km. Each satellite consists of three science payloads: global positioning system (GPS) occultation experiment (GOX) payload, tiny ionospheric photometer (TIP) and tri-band beacon (TBB). The GOX will collect the GPS signals for the study on atmosphere, ionosphere, and geodesy. The TIP and TBB can provide the electron distribution information for ionospheric research. The deployment of the FORMOSAT-3 constellation and the resulting influence on the occultation sounding distributions are reported. Details are also given on GOX, TIP, and TBB payload operations and the contributions of the Taiwan Science Team.     

Interannual variability of low-degree gravitational change, 1980–2002

Time variations in the Earths gravity field at periods longer than 1 year, for degree-two spherical harmonics, C₂₁, S₂₁, and C₂₀, are estimated from accurately measured Earth rotational variations. These are compared with predictions of atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic models, and with independent satellite laser ranging (SLR) results. There is remarkably good agreement between Earth rotation and model predictions of C₂₁ and S₂₁ over a 22-year period. After decadal signals are removed, Earth-rotation-derived interannual C₂₀ variations are dominated by a strong oscillation of period about 5.6 years, probably due to uncertainties in wind and ocean current estimates. The model-predicted C₂₀ agrees reasonably well with SLR observations during the 22-year period, with the exception of the recent anomaly since 1997/1998.

An update on the IEM surface backscattering model

The integral equation approach to modeling scattering from rough surfaces was introduced in 1992. At that time, it was noted that there was a need to find a transition reflection coefficient that could change its argument from the incident angle to the specular angle as frequency or roughness scale got large. One such reflection coefficient was published in 2001. In this letter, we would like to include this reflection coefficient in the integral equation model to interpret several multifrequency backscattering measurements from surfaces with surface parameters defined by the investigators who acquired the data.     

Tile‐based polygon overlay of vector data in a virtual globe

The demand for analysis of large‐scale data has increased with increased access to spatial vector data. Polygon overlay of vector data in a virtual globe requires proprietary data structures and proprietary analysis algorithms. A vector data structure is designed for rapid polygon overlay in a virtual globe by recording the metadata of the triangles (TriMeta) that constitute polygons. A polygon overlay algorithm is proposed based on this data structure. The overlay of two complex GIS polygons is transformed into the intersection computation of their 3D triangular presentations. The intersection computation of two sets of triangles is reduced considerably by utilizing TriMeta to filter out the disjoint triangle pairs and rapidly identify the contained triangle. The new method improves the overlay efficiency in a virtual globe because the amount of computation required to calculate the intersections of two large polygons and drape the intersections onto a terrain surface is reduced.     

顾及垂直递减率函数的中国区域大气加权平均温度模型

大气加权平均温度(T_m)是全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)水汽监测的关键参数。针对中国区域地形起伏较大的特点,本文构建了顾及精细季节变化的T_m垂直递减率函数模型,在此基础上,利用2007—2014年的Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) atmosphere格网数据建立了中国区域的T_m格网新模型(简称为CT_m模型)。以2015年GGOS格网数据和无线电探空资料为参考值,对CT_m模型进行精度检验,并与常用的Bevis公式和GPT2w模型进行比较分析。结果表明:①以GGOS格网数据为参考值,CT_m模型的年均偏差和均方根误差(RMS)分别为-0.52 K和3.28 K,相比于GPT2w-5和GPT2w-1模型,精度(RMS值)分别提高了27%和13%;②以探空数据为参考值,CT_m模型的年均偏差和RMS误差分别为0.26 K和3.75 K,相对于GPT2w-5和GPT2w-1模型,精度分别提高了21%和1...
