DORIS tracking in combination with SLR has provided orbits, which are both highly accurate and consistent across missions using the latest and most accurate POD models. These models include GRACE-derived static and time varying gravity fields and a refined Terrestrial Reference Frame based on SLR and DORIS data yielding a uniform station complement. Additional improvements have been achieved based on advances in modeling the satellite surface forces and the tropospheric path delay for DORIS measurements. This paper presents these model improvements for Jason-1 and Jason-2, including a description of DORIS sensitivity to error in tropospheric path delay. We show that the detailed University College London (UCL) radiation pressure model for Jason-1, which includes self-shadowing and thermal re-radiation, is superior to the use of a macromodel for radiation pressure surface force modeling. Improvements in SLR residuals are seen over all Beta-prime angles for both Jason-1 and Jason-2 using the UCL model, with the greatest improvement found over regimes of low Beta-prime where orbit Earth shadowing is maximum. The overall radial orbit improvement for Jason-1 using the UCL model is 3 mm RMS, as corroborated by the improvement in the independent altimeter crossover data. Special attention is paid to Jason-2 POD to assess improvements gained with the latest advances in DORIS receiver technology. Tests using SLR and altimeter crossover residuals suggest the Jason-2 reduced-dynamic DORIS-only, SLR/DORIS, and GPS orbits have all achieved 1-cm radial accuracy. Tests using independent SLR data acquired at high elevation show an average fit value of 1.02 cm for the DORIS-only and 0.94 cm for the GPS reduced-dynamic orbits. Orbit differences suggest that the largest remaining errors in the Jason-2 dynamic orbit solutions are due to radiation pressure mis-modeling and variations in the geopotential not captured in the GRACE-derived annual terms.

Towards development of a consistent orbit series for TOPEX, Jason-1, and Jason-2 / Franck G. Lemoine in Advances in space research, vol 46 n° 12 (15/12/2010)

The analysis of the altimeter data including the use of altimetry to monitor the global change in mean sea level requires a stable, accurate, and consistent orbit reference over the entire time span. In this paper, we describe the recomputation of a time series of orbits that rely on a consistent set of reference frames and geophysical models. The recomputed orbits adhere to the IERS 2003 standards for ocean and earth tides, use updates to the ITRF2005 reference frame for both the SLR and DORIS stations, apply GRACE-derived models for modeling of the static and time-variable gravity, implement the University College London (UCL) radiation pressure model for Jason-1, use improved troposphere modeling for the DORIS data, and apply the GOT4.7 ocean tide model for both dynamical ocean tide modeling and for ocean loading. The new TOPEX orbits have a mean SLR fit of 1.79 cm compared to 2.21 cm for the MGDR-B orbits. These new TOPEX orbits agree radially with independent SLR/crossover orbits at 0.70 cm RMS, and the orbit accuracy is estimated at 1.5–2.0 cm RMS over the entire TOPEX time series. The recomputed Jason-1 orbits agree radially with the Jason-1 GDR-C orbits at 1.08 cm RMS. The GSFC SLR/DORIS dynamic and reduced-dynamic orbits for Jason-2 agree radially with independent orbits from the CNES and JPL at 0.70–1.06 cm RMS. Applying these new orbits, and using the latest altimeter corrections for TOPEX, Jason-1, and Jason-2 from September 1992 to May 2009, we find a global rate in mean sea level of 3.0 + 0.4 mm/yr.
