Given the current literature reports, little research is involved in the quantitative analysis of each error of the VTEC map and the spatiotemporal characteristic of global VTEC accuracy. Based on the single layer model and sphere harmonic function, we propose an approach using simulated GPS data to comprehensively verify the accuracy of the VTEC map. The spatiotemporal characteristic of global VTEC accuracy and the errors induced by different processing steps, i.e., carrier phase to code leveling, mapping function (MF), DCB estimation and coefficient fitting, are analyzed and discussed in detail. In addition, the effect of solar activity on the accuracy of the global VTEC map, MF and DCB estimation has been discussed. The results suggest: First, it is found that the MF error at sunrise is more significant than that at sunset, and this important characteristic can be proven based on the analysis of theory and ionospheric radio occultation and VTEC measurements; second, the MF is the most significant error source in the VTEC processing for regions with dense and homogeneous distributed GPS stations, e.g., North America and Europe. The VTEC accuracy in these regions can be improved by 100% with the satellite elevation cutoff angle increasing from 12° to 30°; finally, compared with the global VTEC accuracy using 350 GPS stations observations, the accuracy is improved by 306% based on the double GPS stations with even distribution.

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 18 (September-2 2022) . - n° 4640 Titre : Estimation of swell height using spaceborne GNSS-R data from eight CYGNSS satellites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yanli Zheng, Auteur ; Fu Zheng, Auteur ; Cheng Yang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 4640 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] données GLONASS [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] double différence [Termes IGN] latitude [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] positionnement statique [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) The orbital inclination angle of the GLONASS constellation is about 10° larger than that of GPS, Galileo, and BDS. Theoretically, the higher orbital inclination angle could provide better observation geometry in high latitude regions. A wealth of research has investigated the positioning accuracy of GLONASS and its impact on multi-GNSS, but rarely considered the contribution of the GLONASS constellation’s large orbit inclination angle. The performance of GLONASS in different latitude regions is evaluated in both stand-alone mode and integration with GPS in this paper. The performance of GPS is also presented for comparison. Three international GNSS service (IGS) networks located in high, middle, and low latitudes are selected for the current study. Multi-GNSS data between January 2021 and June 2021 are used for the assessment. The data quality check shows that the GLONASS data integrity is significantly lower than that of GPS. The constellation visibility analysis indicates that GLONASS has a much better elevation distribution than GPS in high latitude regions. Both daily double-difference network solutions and daily static Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions are evaluated. The statistical analysis of coordinate estimates indicates that, in high latitude regions, GLONASS has a comparable or even better accuracy than that of GPS, and GPS+GLONASS presents the best estimate accuracy; in middle latitude regions, GPS stand-alone constellation provides the best positioning accuracy; in low latitude regions, GLONASS offers the worst accuracy, but the positioning accuracy of GPS+GLONASS is better than that of GPS. The tropospheric estimates of GLONASS do not present a resemblance regional advantage as coordinate estimates, which is worse than that of GPS in all three networks. The PPP processing with combined GPS and GLONASS observations reduces the convergence time and improves the accuracy of tropospheric estimates in all three networks.

An improved vertical correction method for the inter-comparison and inter-validation of Integrated Water Vapour measurements [under review] / Olivier Bock in Atmospheric measurement techniques, vol 15 n° 19 ([01/04/2022])

Results are usually assessed in terms of bias (difference of the means), standard deviation of the differences, and linear fit slope and offset (intercept) estimates. When the instruments are located at different elevations, a correction must be applied to account for the vertical displacement between the sites. Empirical formulations are traditionally used for this correction. In this paper, we show that the widely-used correction model based on a standard, exponential, profile for water vapour cannot properly correct the bias, slope, and offset parameters simultaneously. Correcting the bias with this model degrades the slope and offset estimates, and vice-versa. This paper proposes an improved correction model which overcomes these limitations. The model uses a multi-linear regression of slope and offset parameters from a radiosonde climatology. It is able to predict monthly parameters with a root-mean-square error smaller than 0.5 kg m-2 for height differences up to 500 m. The method is applied to the inter-comparison of GPS IWV data in a tropical mountainous area and to the inter-validation of GPS and satellite microwave radiometer data. This paper also emphasizes the need for using a slope and offset regression method that accounts for errors in both variables and for correctly specifying these errors.

Seasonal variations of vertical crustal motion in Australia observed by joint analysis of GPS and GRACE / Hao Wang in Geomatics and Information Science of Wuhan University, vol 47 n° 2 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inGeomatics and Information Science of Wuhan University > vol 47 n° 2 (February 2022) . - pp 197 - 207 Titre : Seasonal variations of vertical crustal motion in Australia observed by joint analysis of GPS and GRACE Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hao Wang, Auteur ; Jianping Yue, Auteur ; Yunfei Xiang, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 197 - 207 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] analyse de spectre singulier [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] déformation verticale de la croute terrestre [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] données GRACE [Termes IGN] transformation en ondelettes [Termes IGN] variation saisonnière Résumé : (auteur) Objectives There are obvious seasonal variations in the GPS height time series, which affect the improvement of precision and can be corrected by both mathematical modelling and geophysical mechanisms. Compared to least square fitting, singular spectrum analysis (SSA) can extract random seasonal signals effectively through signal reconstruction, which is unaffected by the assumed sinusoidal waves. According to the elastic loading theory, the gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) can be used to calculate the vertical surface displacement caused by changes in terrestrial water storage. Methods This paper mainly studies the feasibility of correcting the seasonal variations in GPS heights using SSA and GRACE inversion results. The height time series of 27 GPS stations in Australia with a time span of from 5 to 10 years were chosen and combined with GRACE simultaneous inversions. Results Because the spatial resolutions of GRACE are coarse and the loading displacement is much more sensitive to near-field mass changes than far-field ones, the amplitudes of GRACE-inferred hydrological loading deformations are significantly smaller than GPS. The weighted root mean square (WRMS) are reduced at 22 stations after GRACE-inferred displacement corrections, and the correlation coefficients between deformations estimated by GPS and GRACE range from 0.12 to 0.78 with a mean value of 0.43, indicating that GPS and GRACE results have good consistency and correlation. SSA is used to extract the annual signals of vertical displacements derived from GPS and GRACE, and contribution rates of singular spectral variance of annual signals are 21.60% and 34.48%, respectively, expressing that annual signals are the main components of GRACE-inferred results. Geographical climatic conditions have a significant impact on the consistency of annual signals derived from GPS and GRACE. Compared with the arid areas in central and western Australia, the amplitude and phase of annual signals derived from GPS and GRACE are more consistent in the northern region with seasonal rainfall. Furthermore, cross wavelet transform (XWT) finds that the vertical displacement series derived from GPS and GRACE of each station have a significant resonance period of one year. The circular average phase angles of GPS/GRACE at the period closet to 1 cycle per year (cpy) outside the cone of influence range from -74.03° to 67.23°. The mean XWT-based semblances range from 0.28 to 0.99 with an average value of 0.79, showing that there is a significant positive correlation between the annual variations derived from GPS and GRACE. Conclusions Overall, GRACE-inferred deformations can explain the annual variations of GPS-derived displacements, particularly in areas with high hydrological loading. It is possible to correct the annual signals of GPS heights by GRACE inversions, but the effect is not as good as the SSA-filtered annual signals.

Impact of observation sampling rate on multi-GNSS static PPP performance / Berkay Bahadur in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 378 (May 2021)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > Vol 53 n° 378 (May 2021) . - pp 206 - 215 Titre : Impact of observation sampling rate on multi-GNSS static PPP performance Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Berkay Bahadur, Auteur ; Metin Nohutcu, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 206 - 215 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] données GLONASS [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] données GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] positionnement statique [Termes IGN] taux d'échantillonnage [Termes IGN] temps de convergence [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of observation sampling rate on the PPP performance, in terms of positioning accuracy and convergence time, under different multi-GNSS combinations. For this purpose, daily observation datasets collected at ten IGS-MGEX (International GNSS Service-Multi-GNSS Experiment) stations during the 1-week period of January 6-12, 2019 with 1-s, 5-s,15-s, and 30-s sampling rates were processed under three different PPP processing modes, namely GPS-only, GPS/GLONASS and multi-GNSS. The results indicate that the use of high-rate observation sampling improves the PPP performance for all processing modes significantly. The contribution of increasing sampling rate, both for positioning error and convergence time, is more prominent in shorter periods, especially within the first 30 min for all processing modes. Finally, the multi-GNSS processing mode with the 1-s observation sampling rate has the best PPP performance and offers a considerable prospect for the GNSS applications.
