The four independent estimates of ΔC21 and ΔS21 variations agree well over a broad band of frequencies. The GRACE/GFO Release 6 (RL06) solutions show major improvements over the previous RL05 solutions at both seasonal and intra-seasonal time scales, when compared with EOP and SLR estimates. Among the four independent estimates, highest correlation coefficients and smallest RMS residuals are found between GRACE/GFO and EOP estimates of ΔC21 and ΔS21 variations. GRACE/GFO and EOP ΔC21 and ΔS21 estimates exhibit slightly different trends, which are related to the implementation and interpretation of the pole tide correction in GRACE/GFO data processing. This study provides an important early validation of GFO ΔC21 and ΔS21 solutions, especially the new pole tide correction applied in GRACE/GFO RL06 solutions using independent estimates.

Performance of a solution of the direct geodetic problem by Taylor series of Cartesian coordinates / Christian Marx in Journal of geodetic science, vol 11 n° 1 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodetic science > vol 11 n° 1 (January 2021) . - pp 122 - 130 Titre : Performance of a solution of the direct geodetic problem by Taylor series of Cartesian coordinates Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Christian Marx, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 122 - 130 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] axe de rotation de la Terre [Termes IGN] coordonnées cartésiennes géocentriques [Termes IGN] ellipsoïde de révolution [Termes IGN] série de Taylor Résumé : (auteur) The direct geodetic problem is regarded on the biaxial and triaxial ellipsoid. A known solution method suitable for low eccentricities, which uses differential equations in Cartesian coordinates and Taylor series expansions of these coordinates, is advanced in view of its practical application. According to previous works, this approach has the advantages that no singularities occur in the determination of the coordinates, its mathematical formulation is simple and it is not computationally intensive. The formulas of the solution method are simplified in the present contribution. A test of this method using an extensive test data set on a biaxial Earth ellipsoid shows its accuracy and practicability for distances of any length. Based on the convergence behavior of the series of the test data set, a truncation criterion for the series expansions is compiled taking into account accuracy requirements of the coordinates. Furthermore, a procedure is shown which controls the truncation of the series expansions by accuracy requirements of the direction to be determined in the direct problem. The conducted tests demonstrate the correct functioning of the methods for the series truncation. However, the considered solution method turns out to be significantly slower than another current method for biaxial ellipsoids, which makes it more relevant for triaxial ellipsoids.

Sub-daily polar motion from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo / Radoslaw Zajdel in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 1 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 1 (January 2021) . - n° 3 Titre : Sub-daily polar motion from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Radoslaw Zajdel, Auteur ; Krzysztof Sosnica, Auteur ; Grzegorz Bury, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] amplitude [Termes IGN] données Galileo [Termes IGN] données géophysiques [Termes IGN] données GLONASS [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] International Earth Rotation Service [Termes IGN] marée océanique [Termes IGN] modèle empirique [Termes IGN] mouvement du pôle [Termes IGN] rotation de la Terre [Termes IGN] variation diurne Résumé : (auteur) We derive an empirical model of the sub-daily polar motion (PM) based on the multi-GNSS processing incorporating GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo observations. The sub-daily PM model is based on 3-year multi-GNSS solutions with a 2 h temporal resolution. Firstly, we discuss differences in sub-daily PM estimates delivered from individual GNSS constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and the combined multi-GNSS solutions. Secondly, we evaluate the consistency between the GNSS-based estimates of the sub-daily PM with three independent models, i.e., the model recommended in the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) 2010 Conventions, the Desai–Sibois model, and the Gipson model. The sub-daily PM estimates, which are derived from system-specific solutions, are inherently affected by artificial non-tidal signals. These signals arise mainly from the resonance between the Earth rotation period and the satellite revolution period. We found strong spurious signals in GLONASS-based and Galileo-based results with amplitudes up to 30 µas. The combined multi-GNSS solution delivers the best estimates and the best consistency of the sub-daily PM with external geophysical and empirical models. Moreover, the impact of the non-tidal spurious signals in the frequency domain diminishes in the multi-GNSS combination. After the recovery of the tidal coefficients for 38 tides, we infer better consistency of the GNSS-based empirical models with the new Desai–Sibois model than the model recommended in the IERS 2010 Conventions. The consistency with the Desai–Sibois model, in terms of the inter-quartile ranges of tidal amplitude differences, reaches the level of 1.6, 5.7, 6.3, 2.2 µas for the prograde diurnal tidal terms and 1.2/2.1, 2.3/6.0, 2.6/5.5, 2.1/5.1 µas for prograde/retrograde semi-diurnal tidal terms, for the combined multi-GNSS, GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo solutions, respectively.

Inclusion of GPS clock estimates for satellites Sentinel-3A/3B in DORIS geodetic solutions / Petr Štěpánek in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 116 Titre : Inclusion of GPS clock estimates for satellites Sentinel-3A/3B in DORIS geodetic solutions Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Petr Štěpánek, Auteur ; Duan Bingbing, Auteur ; Filler Vratislav, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 116 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Atlantique Sud [Termes IGN] Cryosat [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] données DORIS [Termes IGN] horloge du récepteur [Termes IGN] Jason [Termes IGN] oscillateur [Termes IGN] récepteur DORIS [Termes IGN] récepteur GPS [Termes IGN] rotation de la Terre [Termes IGN] SARAL [Termes IGN] Sentinel-3 Résumé : (auteur) A unique architecture of Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B satellites includes the shared ultra-stable oscillator (USO) by the DORIS and GPS receivers. This concept enables to apply onboard GPS clock estimates in the DORIS processing substituting the DORIS polynomial clock model by the GPS epoch-wise model, together with a DORIS-specific clock offset. Such an approach is particularly profitable for the mitigation of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) effect affecting the short-term frequency stability of the USO oscillator in the South America and South Atlantic region. The GPS clock behavior precisely maps the SAA effect and enables us to demonstrate a difference of the USO sensitivity to the SAA for Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B. We present world grid maps of clock time derivatives for both Sentinels, displaying a different sign of the direct effect and other differences in the USO memory/recovery effect. Moreover, we present the impact of SAA on 3D positioning where the largest SAA-related bias reaches several centimeters. We also determine an effect of the precise clock modeling on the Earth rotation parameter estimates. In addition to these improvements, the elimination of the SAA effect gives us an opportunity to get an almost SAA-free DORIS solution from Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B satellites. Using the combined solution of both Sentinels as a reference, we estimate the SAA effect on the DORIS beacon positions also for satellites Jason-2, Jason-3, Saral, Cryosat-2 and Hy-2A and find significant positioning biases for all the recent satellites except Saral.

Geodetic VLBI for precise orbit determination of Earth satellites: a simulation study / Grzegorz Klopotek in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 6 (June 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 6 (June 2020) Titre : Geodetic VLBI for precise orbit determination of Earth satellites: a simulation study Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Grzegorz Klopotek, Auteur ; Thomas Hobiger, Auteur ; Rüdiger Haas, Auteur ; Toshimichi Otsubo, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] constellation GNSS [Termes IGN] données Galileo [Termes IGN] données Lageos [Termes IGN] données VGOS [Termes IGN] géocentre [Termes IGN] interférométrie à très grande base [Termes IGN] méthode de Monte-Carlo [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] paramètres d'orientation de la Terre [Termes IGN] quasar [Termes IGN] rotation de la Terre Résumé : (auteur) Recent efforts of tracking low Earth orbit and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites using geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) raise questions on the potential of this novel observation concept for space geodesy. Therefore, we carry out extensive Monte Carlo simulations in order to investigate the feasibility of geodetic VLBI for precise orbit determination (POD) of MEO satellites and assess the impact of quality and quantity of satellite observations on the derived geodetic parameters. The MEO satellites are represented in our study by LAGEOS-1/-2 and a set of Galileo satellites. The concept is studied on the basis of 3-day solutions in which satellite observations are included into real schedules of the continuous geodetic VLBI campaign 2017 (CONT17) as well as simulated schedules concerning the next-generation VLBI system, known as the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). Our results indicate that geodetic VLBI can perform on a comparable level as other space-geodetic techniques concerning POD of MEO satellites. For an assumed satellite observation precision better than 14.1 mm (47 ps), an average 3D orbit precision of 2.0 cm and 6.3 cm is found for schedules including LAGEOS-1/-2 and Galileo satellites, respectively. Moreover, geocenter offsets, which were so far out of scope for the geodetic VLBI analysis, are close to the detection limit for the simulations concerning VGOS observations of Galileo satellites, with the potential to further enhance the results. Concerning the estimated satellite orbits, VGOS leads to an average precision improvement of 80% with respect to legacy VLBI. In absolute terms and for satellite observation precision of 14.1 mm (47 ps), this corresponds to an average value of 17 mm and 7 mm concerning the 3D orbit scatter and precision of geocenter components, respectively. As shown in this study, a poor satellite geometry can degrade the derived Earth rotation parameters and VLBI station positions, compared to the quasar-only reference schedules. Therefore, careful scheduling of both quasar and satellite observations should be performed in order to fully benefit from this novel observation concept.
