Over the years, different time scales, although interconnected, have been used in altimetry and also in satellite positioning. This sometimes leads to inexplicit descriptions and ambiguous use of time and orbit coordinates as well as of their transformations between various reference and measuring systems. Altimetry satellites, like Sentinel-3, CryoSat-2, Jason-3, HY-2A/-2B, IceSat-2, etc., observe and practically realize ranges by measuring time differences between the transmission and reception of an electromagnetic wave (either radar or laser at present). Similar principles apply for global navigation satellite systems and for their terrestrial reference systems upon which altimetry is linked and tied together. Yet, the “meter” of any terrestrial reference systems is also defined by time. This work seeks to establish a standard reference system for “time” and “coordinates” in an effort to reach uniform and absolute standardization for satellite altimetry. It describes various errors generated from differences, discontinuities and interactions in time, frequency, range, time tagging, and reference coordinate frames. A new approach, called “fiducial reference measurements for altimetry”, is here given to examine ways to connect errors with metrology standards in order to improve the estimation of uncertainty budgets in ocean and water level observation by altimetry. Finally, the geocentric inertial reference system and the international atomic time are proposed in this paper for satellite altimetry observations and products.

A local projection for integrating geodetic and terrestrial coordinate systems / Mike Bremmer in Survey review, vol 52 n° 374 (August 2020)

The proposed system uses an extension of the Stereographic Double Map Projection and a parametric least squares estimation to calculate the parameters for the map projection. The Extended Stereographic Double Projection and the projection parameter estimation are implemented and tested. Tests are performed to determine rate that discrepancies occur and the maximum extents of the Extended Stereographic Double Projection. This maximum area is determined to be ∼10 km2 with RMS values of residuals of 0.0029 m in northing and 0.0020 m in easting. Tests are also performed to determine the factor that limits the effective area of the Projection.

The direct geodesic problem and an approximate analytical solution in Cartesian coordinates on a triaxial ellipsoid / Georgios Panou in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 14 n° 2 (April 2020)

The parametric coordinates are used and the parametric to Cartesian coordinates conversion and vice versa are presented. The geodesic equations on a triaxial ellipsoid in Cartesian coordinates are solved using a Taylor series expansion. The solution provides the Cartesian coordinates and the angle between the line of constant v and the geodesic at the end point. An extensive data set of geodesics, previously studied with a numerical method, is used in order to validate the presented analytical method in terms of stability, accuracy and execution time. We conclude that the presented method is suitable for a triaxial ellipsoid with small eccentricities and an accurate solution is obtained. At a similar accuracy level, this method is about thirty times faster than the corresponding numerical method. Finally, the presented method can also be applied in the degenerate case of an oblate spheroid, which is extensively used in geodesy.

A global vertical datum defined by the conventional geoid potential and the Earth ellipsoid parameters / Hadi Amin in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n°10 (October 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n°10 (October 2019) Titre : A global vertical datum defined by the conventional geoid potential and the Earth ellipsoid parameters Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hadi Amin, Auteur ; Lard Erik Sjöberg, Auteur ; Mohammad Bagherbandi, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] champ de pesanteur terrestre [Termes IGN] coordonnées cartésiennes géocentriques [Termes IGN] ellipsoïde de référence [Termes IGN] géoïde [Termes IGN] géoïde gravimétrique [Termes IGN] harmonique ellipsoïdale [Termes IGN] modèle de géopotentiel [Termes IGN] surface de la mer [Termes IGN] système de référence altimétrique [Termes IGN] système de référence géodésique Résumé : (auteur) The geoid, according to the classical Gauss–Listing definition, is, among infinite equipotential surfaces of the Earth’s gravity field, the equipotential surface that in a least squares sense best fits the undisturbed mean sea level. This equipotential surface, except for its zero-degree harmonic, can be characterized using the Earth’s global gravity models (GGM). Although, nowadays, satellite altimetry technique provides the absolute geoid height over oceans that can be used to calibrate the unknown zero-degree harmonic of the gravimetric geoid models, this technique cannot be utilized to estimate the geometric parameters of the mean Earth ellipsoid (MEE). The main objective of this study is to perform a joint estimation of W0, which defines the zero datum of vertical coordinates, and the MEE parameters relying on a new approach and on the newest gravity field, mean sea surface and mean dynamic topography models. As our approach utilizes both satellite altimetry observations and a GGM model, we consider different aspects of the input data to evaluate the sensitivity of our estimations to the input data. Unlike previous studies, our results show that it is not sufficient to use only the satellite-component of a quasi-stationary GGM to estimate W0. In addition, our results confirm a high sensitivity of the applied approach to the altimetry-based geoid heights, i.e., mean sea surface and mean dynamic topography models. Moreover, as W0 should be considered a quasi-stationary parameter, we quantify the effect of time-dependent Earth’s gravity field changes as well as the time-dependent sea level changes on the estimation of W0. Our computations resulted in the geoid potential W0 = 62636848.102 ± 0.004 m2 s−2 and the semi-major and minor axes of the MEE, a = 6378137.678 ± 0.0003 m and b = 6356752.964 ± 0.0005 m, which are 0.678 and 0.650 m larger than those axes of GRS80 reference ellipsoid, respectively. Moreover, a new estimation for the geocentric gravitational constant was obtained as GM = (398600460.55 ± 0.03) × 106 m3 s−2.

Geodesic equations and their numerical solution in Cartesian coordinates on a triaxial ellipsoid / Georgios Panou in Journal of geodetic science, vol 9 n° 1 (January 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodetic science > vol 9 n° 1 (January 2019) . - pp 1 - 12 Titre : Geodesic equations and their numerical solution in Cartesian coordinates on a triaxial ellipsoid Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Georgios Panou, Auteur ; Romylos Korakitis, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 1 - 12 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie [Termes IGN] constante [Termes IGN] coordonnées cartésiennes géocentriques [Termes IGN] coordonnées ellipsoïdales [Termes IGN] problème des valeurs limites [Termes IGN] transformation de coordonnées Résumé : (auteur) In this work, the geodesic equations and their numerical solution in Cartesian coordinates on an oblate spheroid, presented by Panou and Korakitis (2017), are generalized on a triaxial ellipsoid. A new exact analytical method and a new numerical method of converting Cartesian to ellipsoidal coordinates of a point on a triaxial ellipsoid are presented. An extensive test set for the coordinate conversion is used, in order to evaluate the performance of the two methods. The direct geodesic problem on a triaxial ellipsoid is described as an initial value problem and is solved numerically in Cartesian coordinates. The solution provides the Cartesian coordinates and the angle between the line of constant λ and the geodesic, at any point along the geodesic. Also, the Liouville constant is computed at any point along the geodesic, allowing to check the precision of the method. An extensive data set of geodesics is used, in order to demonstrate the validity of the numerical method for the geodesic problem. We conclude that a complete, stable and precise solution of the problem is accomplished.
