However, with the continuous modernization of the existing constellations and rapid developments of the new systems, various new frequencies and types of GNSS signals are emerging, which makes the traditional DCB mode less flexible and efficient to handle the new situations and challenges. Recently, code biases in observation-specific representation, which finally provides observation-specific biases (OSBs), turns out to be a good solution and is gradually accepted by the GNSS community, though existing products are generated based on routine procedures and few studies concentrate on the new methods. In view of it, this study aims to propose a rigorous, flexible and efficient approach of OSB estimation for the modernized multi-frequency and, multi-GNSS signals. To achieve this, instead of being-based on linear combinations of raw observations in the existing literature, an extended multi-frequency geometry-free model is first established based on undifferenced and uncombined observations, which can adapt to observations of arbitrary frequencies and types in a compatible and flexible way and is used to extract the various types of linear combinations of the interested OSBs. Then, regarding the previously-obtained linear combinations as virtual observables after station-based ionosphere modeling, all OSB parameters are setup and estimated in a single normal equation, during which a clear identification and elimination of the rank deficiencies in the linear system is carefully conducted by introducing different types of constraints. The proposed new method is validated with one month of real data to generate totally 32 types of OSBs for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The estimated OSBs are compared with existing OSB and DCB products from other agencies. Results indicate that the proposed method can be used as a flexible and precise method for full-constellation and full-type OSB estimation.

The changes in amplitude and phase scintillation are also probed through Global Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC monitoring (GISTM) systems recordings at North pole [Himadri station; Geographic 78°55′ N, 11°56′ E] and South pole [Maitri station; Geographic 70°46′ S 11°44′ E]. Observations show the range of %TEC variability being relatively more over Antarctic region (−40 % to 60 %) than Arctic region (−25 % to 25 %), corroborating the role of the dominant solar photoionization production process. Our analysis confirms that TEC variation at polar latitudes is a function of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, depending on interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation and magnitude in the X ( Bx), Y ( By), and Z ( Bz) plane. Visible enhancement in TEC is noticed in the northern polar latitude when Bx6nT and Bz>0 whereas the southern polar latitude perceives TEC enhancements with Bx>0, −6nT Numéro de notice : A2021-469 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1515/jag-2021-0033 date de publication en ligne : 22/06/2021 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1515/jag-2021-0033 Format de la ressource électronique : URL Article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=98107 [article]

GNSS-based statistical analysis of ionospheric anomalies during typhoon landings in Taiwan/Japan / Hai Peng in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 6 (June 2021)

The horizontal speed of the first TID during a typhoon landing can be estimated by a two-station method with the ionosphere anomaly indicator in total electron count units (TECUs) (|dTEC| ≥ 0.15 TECU). The horizontal speed of the TIDs was from 155 to 210 m/s and with an average speed of 168.70 m/s. The estimated TID speeds of Typhoons Soudelor (205.93 m/s) and Megi (158.47 m/s) are not consistent with each other, even though they had very similar trajectories when cross through Taiwan Island. Moreover, the propagation velocity of the typhoon ionospheric anomaly showed a significant positive correlation ( r=0.78 , α=0.05 ) with the change rate of the typhoon central air pressure and a negative correlation ( r=−0.52 , α=0.05 ) with the central pressure before landing. Gravity waves were generated by land friction, terrain blocking, and strong wind shear transport energy into the atmosphere from the near surface to the mesosphere and thermosphere, which is the main cause of ionosphere disturbances during typhoon landing.

Multi-GNSS PPP/INS tightly coupled integration with atmospheric augmentation and its application in urban vehicle navigation / Shengfeng Gu in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 6 (June 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 6 (June 2021) . - n° 64 Titre : Multi-GNSS PPP/INS tightly coupled integration with atmospheric augmentation and its application in urban vehicle navigation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shengfeng Gu, Auteur ; Chunqi Dai, Auteur ; Wentao Fang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 64 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes IGN] correction atmosphérique [Termes IGN] couplage GNSS-INS [Termes IGN] milieu urbain [Termes IGN] navigation automobile [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons [Termes IGN] Wuhan (Chine) Résumé : (auteur) Precise point positioning (PPP) is receiving increasing interest due to its cost-effectiveness, global coverage and high accuracy. However, its application in the urban environment is still full of challenges due to the satellite tracking sky-view. Thus, we presented a comprehensive positioning model by fusing the multi-GNSS (global navigation satellite system) combination, GNSS/INS (inertial navigation system) tightly coupled integration as well as the ionospheric and tropospheric augmentation in the undifferenced and uncombined PPP. The performance of this model in dual-frequency and single-frequency positioning was assessed with two experiments that denoted as T019 and T023, respectively, and both the experiments were carried out in a real urban environment. Particularly, the experiment T023 was carried out in the Second Ring Road of Wuhan city, which can be regarded as a typical downtown environment. Concerning the regional atmospheric augmentation, observations from 5 reference stations with an inter-station distance of about 40 km were also collected during the experimental time. The comparison between reference stations suggested that the regional tropospheric model had a precision of better than 0.6 cm in terms of zenith tropospheric delay, while the regional ionospheric model had a precision of around 0.5 total electron content unit in terms of Vertical Total Electron Content. It can be concluded that the GPS-only PPP can be improved significantly for urban vehicle navigation with these techniques, i.e., the multi-GNSS, INS tightly coupled integration and the atmospheric augmentation, through the positioning analysis, while INS tightly coupled integration makes the most contributions under the downtown environment, and the improvement of the regional atmospheric augmentation in single-frequency PPP is more significant since that single frequency is more sensitive to the ionospheric delay. In addition, it is proved that the regional atmospheric augmentation accelerates positioning convergence. The 3D positioning root-mean-square (RMS) with the comprehensive positioning model for dual frequency are 0.22 m and 0.77 m for T019 and T023, respectively. Concerning single-frequency PPP, the 3D RMS is 0.45 m and 1.17 m for T019 and T023, respectively. Moreover, taking the lane-level navigation under the downtown environment of T023 into consideration, we further presented the cumulative frequency of the horizontal positioning error less than 1 m, i.e., P(dN2+dE2−−−−−−−−−√ Numéro de notice : A2021-429 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1007/s00190-021-01514-8 date de publication en ligne : 26/05/2021 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-021-01514-8 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=97789 [article]

Observable quality assessment of broadband very long baseline interferometry system / Ming H. Xu in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 5 (May 2021)

We made quality assessments for two kinds of observables in the 21 VGOS sessions currently available: group delay and differential total electron content (δTEC). Our study reveals that the random measurement noise of VGOS group delays is at the level of less than 2 ps (1ps=10−12 s), while the contributions from systematic error sources, mainly source structure related, are at the level of 20 ps. Due to the significant improvement in measurement noise, source structure effects with relatively small magnitudes that are not overwhelming in the S/X VLBI system, for instance 10 ps, are clearly visible in VGOS observations. Another critical error source in VGOS observations is discrete delay jumps, for instance, a systematic offset of about 310 ps or integer multiples of that. The predominant causative factor is found to be related to source structure. The measurement noise level of δTEC observables is about 0.07 TECU, but the systematic effects are five times larger than that. A strong correlation between group delay and δTEC observables is discovered with a trend of 40 ps/TECU for observations with large structure effects; there is a second trend in the range 60–70 ps/TECU when the measurement noise is dominant.
