Zero initial partial derivatives of satellite orbits with respect to force parameters violate the physics of motion of celestial bodies

Satellite orbits have been routinely used to produce models of the Earth’s gravity field. In connection with such productions, the partial derivatives of a satellite orbit with respect to the force parameters to be determined, namely, the unknown harmonic coefficients of the gravitational model, have been first computed by setting the initial values of partial derivatives to zero. In this note, we first design some simple mathematical examples to show that setting the initial values of partial derivatives to zero is generally erroneous mathematically. We then prove that it is prohibited physically. In other words, setting the initial values of partial derivatives to zero violates the physics of motion of celestial bodies.

Tropospheric and stratospheric wind contributions to Earth's variable rotation from NCEP/NCAR reanalyses (2000–2005)

The individual tropospheric and stratospheric wind contributions to the Earth's variable rotation during the period 2000–2005 are investigated to further our understanding of the role of wind in exciting polar motion and the variation of the Earth's rotational rate (or the length of day, LOD, change). Instead of the previous empirical approach, which simply assumed the tropopause as an equal-pressure level, the present study employs a tropopause, which is space- and time-dependent and is from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalyses. For the axial component, the tropospheric and stratospheric wind effects are essentially additive. For the equatorial components, however, a significant cancellation is found between the tropospheric and stratospheric wind terms, based on the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis model.     

地壳形变测量学之进展与展望

首先简述了当代地学前沿交叉新学科－－地壳形变大地测量学的形成和内涵。地壳形变大地测量学开拓了现今地壳运动与现今地球动力学研究新领域,使中国大陆现今地壳运动研究取得创新性成果,促进地球动力学等地学基础研究,证实地壳动力学的基本状态不是“SOC”而是“SO”,因而地震是可能预报的,有助于击破制约地震预报的“瓶颈”,从根本上推进地震预报。然后对当前的研究工作提出了7项建议,包括：将地壳形变监测系统建设为真正的“四维”快速测地系统,加速推进形变和重力的结合,地表与深部研究的结合,推进地壳运动“暂态信号”和“暂态过程”研究,研制和发布“数字形变信息产品”,深化中国大陆现今地壳运动和现今地球动力学研究,并在此基础上加速推进地震动力学和地震预报研究等。最后提出了对地壳形变大地测量学、现今地壳运动、现今地球动力学和地震预报未来发展的预测。地壳形变大地测量学正有力地推进地球科学创新和地震预报破关,激动人心的研究还仅仅是开始。

Terrestrial reference frame requirements within GGOS perspective

One of the main objectives of the promising and challenging IAG project GGOS (Global Geodetic Observing System) is the availability of a global and accurate Terrestrial Reference Frame for Earth Science applications, particularly Earth Rotation, Gravity Field and geophysics. With the experience gained within the activities related to the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) and its realization, the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), the combination method proved its efficiency to establish a global frame benefiting from the strengths of the various space geodetic techniques and, in the same time, underlining their biases and weaknesses. In this paper we focus on the limitation factors inherent to each individual technique and to the combination, such as the current status of the observing networks, distribution of the co-location sites and their quality and accuracy of the combined frame parameters. Results of some TRF and EOP simultaneous combinations using CATREF software will be used to illustrate the current achievement and to help drawing up future goals and improvements in the GGOS framework. Beyond these technical aspects, the overall visibility and acceptance of ITRS/ITRF as international standard for science and applications is also discussed.
