The LEO satellites can cover the ocean area and are less affected by atmospheric delays and multipath errors, which provides new opportunities for calibrating the phase biases of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). In this contribution, we propose an alternative approach for uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation by making full use of onboard observations of LEO satellites. Stable wide-lane (WL) and narrow-lane (NL) UPDs can be obtained from spaceborne GNSS observations and agree well with the UPD products derived from 106 IGS stations. To further verify the feasibility of the proposed method for UPD estimation, zero-difference (ZD) ambiguity resolution (AR) for precise point positioning (PPP) and LEO precise orbit determination (POD) are implemented. After applying the LEO-based UPDs, the averaged convergence time for PPP AR can be reduced to 15.2 min, with an improvement of 24% compared to float solutions. As for LEO AR, the fixing rates of WL and NL ambiguities exceed 98 and 92%, respectively. The accuracies of ambiguity-fixed orbits are validated by comparing with external satellite laser ranging (SLR) and K-band ranging (KBR) observations. Compared to float solutions, the standard deviations (STDs) of SLR residuals can be reduced by 8 ~ 43%, and the KBR residuals of 3.75 mm can be achieved for fixed solutions using LEO-based UPDs, with an improvement of 60%. Although the current UPD results derived from LEO satellites are slightly worse than those of ground-based UPD, it is anticipated that the performance of LEO-based UPD can be further improved in the near future with the rapidly increasing number of LEO satellites and the continuous refinements of the POD method.

Integer phase clock method with single-satellite ambiguity fixing and its application in LEO satellite orbit determination / Kai Shao in Acta Geodaetica et Cartographica Sinica, vol 50 n° 4 ([20/04/2021])  

Public [article]  inActa Geodaetica et Cartographica Sinica > vol 50 n° 4 [20/04/2021] . - pp 487 - 495 Titre : Integer phase clock method with single-satellite ambiguity fixing and its application in LEO satellite orbit determination Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kai Shao, Auteur ; Bin Yi, Auteur ; Houzhe Zhang, Auteur ; Defeng Gu, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 487 - 495 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] bande K [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Fixing single-satellite GPS carrier phase ambiguity could significantly improve the orbit accuracy of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite. Currently, the CNES/CLS, Wuhan University and CODE have published GPS integer phase clock products applied to single-satellite ambiguity fixing. In this paper, the integer phase clock method is used for single-satellite ambiguity fixing, and it is applied to the precise orbit determination of LEO satellite. Then, the application performances of integer phase clock products provided by different agencies in single-satellite ambiguity fixing and LEO satellite orbit determination are compared and analyzed. For GRACE-FO formation satellites, about 94% ambiguities could be fixed based on different products provided by the three agencies. Orbit solutions generated using the products from the three agencies can achieve an RMS of around 0.9 cm checked by satellite laser ranging data. Compared with ambiguity-float orbit solutions, the accuracy of absolute orbit determination with single-satellite ambiguity fixing is improved by about 30%. After fixing single-satellite ambiguities using the different products provided by CNES/CLS, WHU and CODE, respectively, the RMS of K-band ranging validation residuals for relative orbit solutions are reduced from 5.7, 5.4 and 5.3 mm to 2.1、 2.0 and 1.5 mm, respectively. The results show that the integer phase clock products provided by different agencies have similar performances in the single-satellite ambiguity fixing and orbit determination of GRACE-FO satellite.

GRACE-FO precise orbit determination and gravity recovery / Z. Kang in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020) . - n° 85 Titre : GRACE-FO precise orbit determination and gravity recovery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Z.

The primary objective of the GRACE-FO mission is to map the time-variable and mean gravity field of the Earth. To achieve this goal, both GRACE-FO satellites are additionally equipped with a K-band ranging (KBR) system, accelerometers and star trackers. Data processing strategies, data weighting approaches and impacts of observation types and rates are investigated in order to determine the most efficient approach for processing GRACE-FO multi-type data for precise orbit determination and gravity recovery. Two GPS observation types, un-differenced (UD) and double-differenced (DD) observations in general can be used for GPS-based POD and gravity recovery. The GRACE-FO KBR observations are mainly used for gravity recovery, but they can be also used for POD to improve the relative orbit accuracy. The main purpose of this paper is to study the impacts of the DD, UD and KBR observations on GRACE-FO POD and gravity recovery. The precise orbit accuracy is assessed using several tests, which include analysis of orbital fits, satellite laser ranging residuals, KBR range residuals and orbit comparisons. The gravity recovery is validated by comparing different gravity solutions through coefficient-wise comparison, degree difference variances and water height variations over the whole Earth and selected area and river basins.

An accurate and timely understanding of its characteristics at the global, regional, and local scales is indispensable for a clearer understanding of the mechanisms underlying the Earth’s atmosphere–ocean complex system. Precipitation is one of the elements that is documented to be greatly affected by climate change. In its various forms, precipitation comprises a primary source of freshwater, which is vital for the sustainability of almost all human activities. Its socio-economic significance is fundamental in managing this natural resource effectively, in applications ranging from irrigation to industrial and household usage. Remote sensing of precipitation is pursued through a broad spectrum of continuously enriched and upgraded instrumentation, embracing sensors which can be ground-based (e.g., weather radars), satellite-borne (e.g., passive or active space-borne sensors), underwater (e.g., hydrophones), aerial, or ship-borne.

It was initially designed for measuring the ocean’s topography, with reference to an ellipsoid, and for the determination of the marine geoid. Satellite altimetry has provided extremely valuable information on ocean science (e.g., circulation surface geostrophic currents, eddy structures, wave heights, and the propagation of oceanic Kelvin and Rossby waves). With more than 25 years of observations, it is also becoming vital to climate research, providing accurate measurements of sea level variations from regional to global scales. Altimetry has also demonstrated a strong potential for geophysical, cryospheric, and hydrological research and is now commonly used for the monitoring of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheet topography and of terrestrial surface water levels. This book aims to present reviews and recent advances of general interest in the use of radar altimetry in Earth sciences. Manuscripts are related to any aspect of radar altimetry technique or geophysical applications. We also encourage manuscripts resulting from the application of new altimetric technology (SAR, SARin, and Ka band) and improvements expected from missions to be launched in the near future (i.e., SWOT).
