Variations of Kuroshio geostrophic transport south of Japan estimated from long-term IES observations

Two inverted echo sounders were maintained on coastal and offshore sides of the Kuroshio south of Japan from October 1993 to July 2004. Applying the gravest empirical mode method, we obtained a time series of geostrophic transport. Estimated transports generally agree well with geostrophic transports estimated from hydrography. Their agreement with the hydrographic transports is better than that of transports estimated from satellite altimetry data. The geostrophic transport is expressed as the surface transport per unit depth multiplied by the equivalent depth. The geostrophic transport varies mostly with the surface transport and fractionally with the equivalent depth. Seasonal variation of the geostrophic transport has a minimum in March and a maximum in September, with a range of about one fifth of the total transport.

利用测高卫星观测数据计算全球海平面季变化

利用了美国宇航局和法国空间局联合公布的Jason-1第1周期至第129周期卫星测高数据,采用共线平差的方法计算了2002年至2005年全球海平面的季变化。计算结果表明,全球海平面高第一、四季度上升,第二、三季度下降,且第三季度下降明显。     

Unified Approach to Photon-Counting Microlaser Rangers, Transponders, and Altimeters

Unlike current manned systems, NASA's next generation SLR2000 Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) station is fully autonomous, eye-safe, relatively compact and inexpensive, and, during daytime tracking, operates at signal-to-noise ratios several orders of magnitude below unity. Tiny, passivelyQ-switched microlasers generate ultra-short pulses with output energies on the order of 100 J at few kHz rates to achieve mm-levelranging precision to satellite altitudesof 20,000 km. Special ranging receivers, combined with Poisson statistical analysis of the received photon distribution, enable the system to rapidly and reliably identify and extract the single photon laser echoes from the solar background. The enhanced rate of return, combined with a uniform signal strength, can actually drive down both systematic and random range errors. The new SLR2000 technology has already spawned exciting new applications. Compact microlaser altimeters, capable of mapping the surface of a planet or other celestial body at multikilohertz rates, is one such application, and a high altitude, airborne version is currently being developed under NASA's Instrument Incubator Program. Interplanetary microlaser transponders would be capable of performing decimeter ranging or subnanosecond time transfer to spacecraft throughout the inner Solar System, resulting in improved knowledge of planetary motions and librations and enhanced General Relativity experiments.     

中国新一代高精度、高分辨率大地水准面的研究和实施

采用移去恢复技术，利用我国高分辨率DTM和重力资料推算我国大陆重力大地水准面;然后再和我国GPS水准所构成的高程异常控制网拟合,推算了具有dm级精度、15′×15′分辨率的我国大陆大地水准面。利用全国地壳运动监测网络的80余个高精度GPS水准点进行外部检核，检核结果证实和原设计精度完全一致，即该大陆大地水准面的绝对精度,在东经102°以东高于±0.3m，在东经102°以西、北纬36°以北为±0.4m，36°以南为±(0.4～0.6)m。利用卫星测高数据计算垂线偏差，反解我国海域大地水准面。为了检核，由测高垂线偏差反演为重力异常，与海上万余点船测重力值进行了外部检核；同时用上述反演的重力异常推算大地水准面，与直接解得的相应结果进行比较作为内部检核。由重力和GPS水准数据推算的上述大陆大地水准面，和主要由卫星测高数据确定的海洋大地水准面，二者之间一般都存在以系统误差为主的拼接差。顾及这一现象并结合我国在陆海大地水准面拼接区重力资料稀疏的实际，研究提出了扩展拼接技术，即在沿海选取部分陆海毗邻的局部地区，在这局部地区内，陆地用实测平均重力格网数据，海洋用测高平均重力格网数据，统一推算这陆海局部重力大地水准面。然后利用这一局部大地水准面的陆地部分和已经用GPS水准校正的陆地大地水准面进行拟合。最后用拟合参数校正中国全部海域的测高重力大地水准面，从而保持陆地部分大地水准面不变，最大限度地削弱拼接点和测高海洋大地水准面的系统误差。     

中国近海TOPEX/Poseidon卫星测高海平面变化的CPCA分析
