As the RMS maps are commonly used as the accuracy indicator of GIMs to optimize the stochastic model of precise point positioning algorithms, it is of crucial importance to investigate the reliability of RMS maps involved in GIMs of different Ionospheric Associated Analysis Centers (IAACs) of the International GNSS Service (IGS), i.e., the integrity of GIMs. We indirectly analyzed the reliability of RMS maps by comparing the actual error of the differential STEC (dSTEC) with the RMS of the dSTEC derived from the RMS maps. With this method, the integrity of seven rapid IGS GIMs (UQRG, CORG, JPRG, WHRG, EHRG, EMRG, and IGRG) and six final GIMs (UPCG, CODG, JPLG, WHUG, ESAG and IGSG) was examined under the maximum and minimum solar activity conditions as well as the geomagnetic storm period. The results reveal that the reliability of the RMS maps is significantly different for the GIMs from different IAACs. Among these GIMs, the values in the RMS maps of UQRG are large, which can be used as ionospheric protection level, while the RMS values in EHRG and ESAG are significantly lower than the realistic RMS. The rapid and final GIMs from CODE, JPL and WHU provide quite reasonable RMS maps. The bounding performance of RMS maps can be influenced by the location of the stations, while the influence of solar activity and the geomagnetic storm is not obvious.

ON GLONASS pseudo-range inter-frequency bias solution with ionospheric delay modeling and the undifferenced uncombined PPP / Zheng Zhang in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 3 (March 2021) . - n°32 Titre : ON GLONASS pseudo-range inter-frequency bias solution with ionospheric delay modeling and the undifferenced uncombined PPP Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zheng Zhang, Auteur ; Yidong Lou, Auteur ; Zheng Fu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n°32 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GLONASS [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] harmonique sphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] polarisation [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement différentiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] signal GLONASS Résumé : (auteur) With the development of multi-GNSS, the differential code bias (DCB) has been an increasing interest in the multi-frequency multi-GNSS community. Unlike code division multiple access (CDMA) mode used by GPS, BDS and Galileo etc., the GLONASS signals are modulated with frequency division multiple access (FDMA) mode. Up to now, the FDMA-aware GLONASS bias products are provided by two individual IGS analysis center (AC), i.e., CODE and GFZ. However, only the ionosphere-free (IF) combination IFB of P1 and P2 is available, while it is founded that the GLONASS IFB of GFZ on both frequencies are identical for the same receiver-satellite pair. In this contribution, the GLONASS IFB (inter-frequency bias) solution based on the spherical-harmonic (SH) ionospheric delay modeling as well as the undifferenced and uncombined PPP were carried out and evaluated. Based on the theoretical analysis, observations from 236 CMONOC stations and 172 IGS stations were collected for 2014 March and 2017 March for the numerical verification. The results suggested that the precision of IFB estimates was mainly subjected to the ionospheric status. Concerning the SH ionospheric delay modeling solution, the STD was 0.85 ns and 0.51 ns for 2014 and 2017, respectively. Concerning the undifferenced and uncombined PPP solution, the IFB was further dependent on the signal frequencies, and the STD was 1.43 ns and 1.94 ns for IFB1 and IFB2 in 2014, and the STD was 0.97 ns and 1.17 ns for IFB1 and IFB2 in 2017. When converted to the GF IFB from the individual IFB on each frequency, and compared to that of GF IFB of SH solution, it is revealed that the undifferenced and uncombined PPP solution has its advantages for IFB estimation on each individual frequency, and more efficient in data processing, while the solution based on the SH ionospheric delay modeling has its advantage in the precision of the GF IFB estimates. Thus, it is suggested that the SH model should be preferred for non-time-critical GF IFB concerned-only applications. Otherwise, the undifferenced and uncombined PPP solution is preferred. These IFB on each frequency was further converted to the ionosphere-free IFB and compared with the products of CODE analysis center.

G-band radar for humidity and cloud remote sensing / Ken B. Cooper in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 2 (February 2021)

VIPR uses all-solid-state components and operates in a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar mode, offering a transmit power of 200–300 mW. Its typical chirp bandwidth of 10 MHz over a center-frequency tuning span of 167–174.8 GHz results in a nominal range resolution of 15 m. The radar’s measured noise figure over the transmit band is between 7.4 and 10.4 dB, depending on its frequency and hardware configuration, and its calculated antenna gain is 58 dB. These parameters mean that with typical 1 ms chirp times, single-pulse cloud reflectivities as low as −26 dBZ are detectable with unity signal-to-noise at 5 km. Experimentally, radar returns from ice clouds above 10 km in height have been observed from the ground. VIPR’s absolute sensitivity was validated using a spherical metal target in the radar antenna’s far-field, and a G-band switch has been implemented in an RF calibration loop for periodic recalibration. The radar achieves high sensitivity with thermal noise limited detection both by virtue of its low-noise RF architecture and by using a quasioptical duplexing method that preserves ultrahigh transmit/receive isolation despite operation in an FMCW mode with a single primary antenna shared by the transmitter and receiver.

Receiver DCB analysis and calibration in geomagnetic storm-time using IGS products / Jianfeng Li in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 377 (February 2021)

The reliability depends mainly on differential code bias (DCB), when estimating the total electron content (TEC) with GNSS pseudorange observations. This study analyzes the variation characteristics of receiver DCB (RDCB) during a strong geomagnetic storm to determine whether the RDCB estimation is affected by space weather. Results show that the RDCB dispersion of low-latitude stations is larger than that of other areas. On the storm day, the RDCB standard deviation (STD) exhibits a peak characteristic and the number of RDCB abnormal stations is significantly more than that on quiet day. Analysis shows that the RDCB abnormality is caused by the ionospheric model misalignment during the ionospheric disturbance. By correcting the RDCB, the RDCB STD is reduced by 43.10%. Thus, the model correction can improve the estimation accuracy of RDCB during geomagnetic storm.

Copula-based modeling of dependence structure in geodesy and GNSS applications: case study for zenith tropospheric delay in complex terrain / Roya Mousavian in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 1 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 25 n° 1 (January 2021) . - n° 12 Titre : Copula-based modeling of dependence structure in geodesy and GNSS applications: case study for zenith tropospheric delay in complex terrain Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Roya Mousavian, Auteur ; Christof Lorenz, Auteur ; Masoud Mashhadi Hossainali, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 12 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] corrélation croisée normalisée [Termes descripteurs IGN] dissymétrie [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] Europe centrale [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] prévision météorologique [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes descripteurs IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Modeling and understanding the statistical relationships between geophysical quantities is a crucial prerequisite for many geodetic applications. While these relationships can depend on multiple variables and their interactions, commonly used scalar methods like the (cross) correlation are only able to describe linear dependencies. However, particularly in regions with complex terrain, the statistical relationships between variables can be highly nonlinear and spatially heterogeneous. Therefore, we introduce Copula-based approaches for modeling and analyzing the full dependence structure. We give an introduction to Copula theory, including five of the most widely used models, namely the Frank, Clayton, Ali-Mikhail-Haq, Gumbel and Gaussian Copula, and use this approach for analyzing zenith tropospheric delays (ZTDs). We apply modeled ZTDs from the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model and estimated ZTDs through the processing of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and evaluate the pixel-wise dependence structures of ZTDs over a study area with complex terrain in Central Europe. The results show asymmetry and nonlinearity in the statistical relationships, which justifies the application of Copula-based approaches compared to, e.g., scalar measures. We apply a Copula-based correction for generating GNSS-like ZTDs from purely WRF-derived estimates. Particularly the corrected time series in the alpine regions show improved Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency values when compared against GNSS-based ZTDs. The proposed approach is therefore highly suitable for analyzing statistical relationships and correcting model-based quantities, especially in complex terrain, and when the statistical relationships of the analyzed variables are unknown.
