Earth rotation parameter estimation by GPS observations

The methods of Earth rotation parameter （ERP） estimation based on IGS SINEX file of GPS so- lution are discussed in detail. There are two different ways to estimate ERP： one is the parameter transformation method, and the other is direct adjustment method with restrictive conditions. By comparing the estimated results with independent copyright program to IERS results, the residual systemic error can be found in estimated ERP with GPS observations.     

Preliminary results of 4-D water vapor tomography in the troposphere using GPS

Slant-path water vapor amounts (SWV) from a station to all the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites in view can be estimated by using a ground-based GPS receiver. In this paper, a tomographic method was utilized to retrieve the local horizontal and vertical structure of water vapor over a local GPS receiver network using SWV amounts as observables in the tomography. The method of obtaining SWV using ground-based GPS is described first, and then the theory of tomography using GPS is presented. A water vapor tomography experiment was made using a small GPS network in the Beijing region. The tomographic results were analyzed in two ways: (1) a pure GPS method, i.e., only using GPS observables as input to the tomography; (2) combining GPS observables with vertical constraints or a priori information, which come from average radiosonde measurements over three days. It is shown that the vertical structure of water vapor is well resolved with a priori information. Comparisons of profiles between radiosondes and GPS show that the RMS error of the tomography is about 1–2mm. It is demonstrated that the tomography can monitor the evolution of tropospheric water vapor in space and time. The vertical resolution of the tomography is tested with layer thicknesses of 600 m, 800 m and 1000 m. Comparisons with radiosondes show that the result from a resolution of 800m is slightly better than results from the other two resolutions in the experiment. Water vapor amounts recreated from the tomography field agree well with precipitable water vapor (PWV) calculated using GPS delays. Hourly tomographic results are also shown using the resolution of 800 m. Water vapor characteristics under the background of heavy rainfall development are analyzed using these tomographic results. The water vapor spatio-temporal structures derived from the GPS network show a great potential in the investigation of weather disasters.     

Orthorectification of IKONOS and impact of different resolution DEM

IKONOS image has been wildly used in city planning, precision agriculture and emergence response. However, the accuracy of IKONOS Geo product is limited due to distortion caused by terrain relief. Orthorectification was performed to remove the distortion and the impact of different DEM on orthorectification were evaluated. 38 ground control points （GCPs） and 25 independent check points （ICPs） were collected. DEMs were generated from 1 ： 10 000 and 1 ： 50 000 topographic maps. Results show that RMS error at the check points is 1. 554 0 m using DEM generated from 1 ： 10 000 topographic map, which can meet the accuracy requirement of IKONOS Precision product （1.9 m RMSE）. While RMS error is 2. 572 4 m using DEM generated from 1 ： 50 000 topographic map.

利用反射GPS信号遥感土壤湿度

在水文、气候、农业等问题的研究中,土壤湿度信息十分重要。近年来,利用GPS系统进行遥感的新方法,已经越来越多地引起研究者们的关注。特别是GPS卫星广播的L1（1.57542GHz）频率信号,是土壤湿度遥感的最佳频率。反射GPS信号功率是土壤介电常数的函数,而土壤介电常数又和土壤湿度有关。根据这一原理,美国国家航空与航天局于2002年进行了基于地表面反射GPS信号的遥感土壤湿度实验。结果证明反射GPS信号对土壤湿度特性十分敏感,由于植被的影响对反射率进行了修正,并用此方法模型与其它方法进行了比较。在利用GPS遥感土壤湿度方面,研制高增益天线,更好的修正信号波动的影响,发展更加完善的遥感土壤湿度方法等是今后在此项研究中所要解决的问题。

ATTEM系统中电流关断期间瞬变电磁场响应求解的研究

在瞬变电磁法中,由于发射电流关断时间不为零、接收线圈的谐振频率有限,早期瞬变电磁信号发生畸变,只能舍弃,因此存在着探测盲区. 针对这一问题,研究了瞬变电磁方法中发射电流关断期间总磁场的形成过程,论证了一次场、二次场和总瞬变场的关系,分析了接收线圈的频率特性和关断时间对瞬变电磁场的影响,提出从总磁场中剔除一次磁场影响的方法,从而获得电流关断期间和电流关断后的早期瞬变电磁场. 采用吉林大学自主研制的瞬变电磁测量系统(ATTEM)在长春市伊通河活断层进行勘探,进一步验证了算法的有效性,缩短了瞬变电磁法的勘探盲区,实现了近地表4 m以下的勘探,可以清晰地分辨近地表的低阻异常,提高了浅层探测精度和分辨率.
