It takes up the concept of lumped coefficients by representing the temporal changes of the Earth’s gravity field by spatial patterns via combinations of spherical harmonics. These patterns are derived from the GRACE mission by decomposing the series of monthly gravity field solutions into empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). The basic idea of the approach is then to use the leading EOFs as base functions in the gravity field modelling and to adjust the respective scaling factors straightforward within the dynamic orbit computation; only for the lowest degrees, the spherical harmonic coefficients are estimated separately. As a result, the estimated gravity fields have formally the same spatial resolution as GRACE. It is shown that, within the GRACE time frame, both the secular and the seasonal signals in the GRACE time series are reproduced with high accuracy. In the period prior to GRACE, the SLR solutions are in good agreement with other techniques and models and confirm, for instance, that the Greenland ice sheet was stable until the late 1990s. Further validation is done with the first monthly fields from GRACE Follow-On, showing a similar agreement as with GRACE itself. Significant differences to the reference data only emerge occasionally when zooming into smaller river basins with strong interannual mass variations. In such cases, the approach reaches its limits which are set by the low spectral sensitivity of the SLR satellites and the strong constraints exerted by the EOFs. The benefit achieved by the enhanced spatial resolution has to be seen, therefore, primarily in the proper capturing of the mass signal in medium or large areas rather than in the opportunity to focus on isolated spatial details.

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 descripteurs IGN] amplitude [Termes descripteurs IGN] données Galileo [Termes descripteurs IGN] données géophysiques [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GLONASS [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] International Earth Rotation Service [Termes descripteurs IGN] marée océanique [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle empirique [Termes descripteurs IGN] mouvement du pôle [Termes descripteurs IGN] rotation de la Terre [Termes descripteurs 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.

To achieve higher accuracy of geodetic datums in coastal and island areas, sea-level changes should be adequately considered when conducting the maintenance of datums. Based on the data of sea-level anomalies from 2014 to 2017 and the theory of load-deformation of elastic spherical earth, this paper demonstrates that impacts of non-tidal ocean load can be quantitatively calculated on geodetic datums along the east coast of China, by using removerestore technique and combining spherical harmonic analysis of gravity field and Green’s functions to calculate loads. Temporal and spatial analyses on the impacts are conducted with Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) sites along the coast and on the islands. This paper has drawn some conclusions as follows: (1) The impact of non-tidal ocean loads on the east coastal geoid ranges from ?4.16 to 4.17mm, that on ground gravity ranges from ?15.44 to 17.02 some conclusions as follows: (1) The impact oranges from ?7.55 to 6.69mm. (2) The impacts are dominated by annual and semi-annual cycles. (3) The impacts appear to be more prominent in coastal areas and on islands than in inland areas.

Error propagation in regional geoid computation using spherical splines, least-squares collocation, and Stokes’s formula / Vegard Ophaug in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 120 Titre : Error propagation in regional geoid computation using spherical splines, least-squares collocation, and Stokes’s formula Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Vegard Ophaug, Auteur ; Christian Gerlach, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 120 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes descripteurs IGN] altitude [Termes descripteurs IGN] collocation par moindres carrés [Termes descripteurs IGN] covariance [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur [Termes descripteurs IGN] fonction spline [Termes descripteurs IGN] formule de Stokes [Termes descripteurs IGN] géoïde local [Termes descripteurs IGN] propagation d'erreur Résumé : (auteur) Current International Association of Geodesy efforts within regional geoid determination include the comparison of different computation methods in the quest for the “1-cm geoid.” Internal (formal) and external (empirical) approaches to evaluate geoid errors exist, and ideally they should agree. Spherical radial base functions using the spline kernel (SK), least-squares collocation (LSC), and Stokes’s formula are three commonly used methods for regional geoid computation. The three methods have been shown to be theoretically equivalent, as well as to numerically agree on the millimeter level in a closed-loop environment using synthetic noise-free data (Ophaug and Gerlach in J Geod 91:1367–1382, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-017-1030-1PANIST). This companion paper extends the closed-loop method comparison using synthetic data, in that we investigate and compare the formal error propagation using the three methods. We use synthetic uncorrelated and correlated noise regimes, both on the 1-mGal (=10−5 ms−2) level, applied to the input data. The estimated formal errors are validated by comparison with empirical errors, as determined from differences of the noisy geoid solutions to the noise-free solutions. We find that the error propagations of the methods are realistic in both uncorrelated and correlated noise regimes, albeit only when subjected to careful tuning, such as spectral band limitation and signal covariance adaptation. For the SKs, different implementations of the L-curve and generalized cross-validation methods did not provide an optimal regularization parameter. Although the obtained values led to a stabilized numerical system, this was not necessarily equivalent to obtaining the best solution. Using a regularization parameter governed by the agreement between formal and empirical error fields provided a solution of similar quality to the other methods. The errors in the uncorrelated regime are on the level of ∼5 mm and the method agreement within 1 mm, while the errors in the correlated regime are on the level of ∼10 mm, and the method agreement within 5 mm. Stokes’s formula generally gives the smallest error, closely followed by LSC and the SKs. To this effect, we note that error estimates from integration and estimation techniques must be interpreted differently, because the latter also take the signal characteristics into account. The high level of agreement gives us confidence in the applicability and comparability of formal errors resulting from the three methods. Finally, we present the error characteristics of geoid height differences derived from the three methods and discuss them qualitatively in relation to GNSS leveling. If applied to real data, this would permit identification of spatial scales for which height information is preferably derived by spirit leveling or GNSS leveling.

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 descripteurs IGN] Atlantique Sud [Termes descripteurs IGN] Cryosat [Termes descripteurs IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] données DORIS [Termes descripteurs IGN] horloge du récepteur [Termes descripteurs IGN] Jason [Termes descripteurs IGN] oscillateur [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur DORIS [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] rotation de la Terre [Termes descripteurs IGN] SARAL [Termes descripteurs 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.
