In the 1960s, tracking anomalies during the Ranger VII and VIII lunar missions were traced to errors in the Earth orientation parameters. As a result, Earth orientation calibration methods were improved to support the Mariner IV and V planetary missions. Today, accurate Earth orientation parameters are used to track and navigate every interplanetary spaceflight mission. The approach taken at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) to provide the interplanetary spacecraft tracking and navigation teams with the UT1 and polar motion parameters that they need is based upon the use of a Kalman filter to combine past measurements of these parameters and predict their future evolution. A model was then used to provide the nutation/precession components of the Earth’s orientation. As a result, variations caused by the free core nutation were not taken into account. But for the highest accuracy, these variations must be considered. So JPL recently developed an approach based upon the use of a Kalman filter and smoother to provide smoothed and predicted celestial pole offsets (CPOs) to the interplanetary spacecraft tracking and navigation teams. The approach used at JPL to do this and an evaluation of the accuracy of the predicted CPOs is given here. For assessing the quality of JPL’s nutation predictions, we compare the time series of dX, dY provided by JPL with the predictions obtained from the IERS Rapid Service/Prediction Centre. Our results confirmed that the approach recently developed by JPL can be used for the successful nutation prediction. In particular, we show that after 90 days of prediction, the estimated errors are 43% lower for dX and 33% lower for dY than in the case of the official IERS products, and an average improvement is 19% and 22% for dX and dY, respectively.

Influence of subdaily model for polar motion on the estimated GPS satellite orbits / Natalia Panafidina in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 2 (February 2019)

The arising implications for the influence of the subdaily pole model on GPS solutions are discussed. Two signals in polar motion can be absorbed by GPS orbits: a retrograde signal with a period of a sidereal day (23 h 56 min 4 s) and a prograde signal with a period matching the revolution period of the GPS satellites in the terrestrial reference frame (23 h 55 min 56 s). We show that the retrograde signal contributes to the absolute orientation of the orbital planes in space and the prograde signal, due to coincidence of its period with the period of revolution of the GPS satellites, contributes to the position of the geocenter for each individual satellite. It is known from previous studies that there are systematic differences between orbital parameters from GPS solutions computed with different subdaily pole models. We show in this paper that this behavior can be explained by the absorption effects in 1-day GPS orbits. Diurnal signals cannot be spectrally separated over a time interval of 1 day. Adjustment of any diurnal prograde or retrograde signal to a subdaily pole time series given by a subdaily model over 24 h will lead to an estimated signal with a nonzero amplitude. Thus, any subdaily pole model used in the processing of space geodetic observations contains a part which corresponds numerically to the discussed prograde signal and a part which corresponds to the retrograde diurnal signal. Different pole models show different amplitudes of the diurnal signals which will be absorbed by the orbits. As a result, GPS orbits computed with different subdaily pole models have systematically different orientation and position in space. Using 1-day GPS solutions over a time span of 13 years (1994–2007), we show that the systematic variations in orbit position and orientation caused by individual tidal terms in polar motion can be well predicted and explained by the suggested mechanism.

According to the SSA results for PM and the SSA prediction algorithm, the principal components of PM were predicted by SSA, and the remaining components were predicted by the ARMA model. In applying this proposed method, multiple sets of PM predictions were made with lead times of two years, based on an IERS 08 C04 series. The observations and predictions of the principal components correlated well, and the SSA + ARMA model effectively predicted the PM. For 360-day lead time predictions, the root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) of PMx and PMy were 20.67 and 20.42 mas, respectively, which were less than the 24.46 and 24.78 mas predicted by IERS Bulletin A. The RMSEs of PMx and PMy in the 720-day lead time predictions were 28.61 and 27.95 mas, respectively.

Dependency of geodynamic parameters on the GNSS constellation / Stefano Scaramuzza in Journal of geodesy, vol 92 n° 1 (January 2018)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 92 n° 1 (January 2018) . - pp 93 - 104 Titre : Dependency of geodynamic parameters on the GNSS constellation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Stefano Scaramuzza, Auteur ; Rolf Dach, Auteur ; Gerhard Beutler, Auteur ; Daniel Arnold, Auteur ; Andreja Sušnik, Auteur ; Adrian Jäggi, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 93 - 104 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes descripteurs IGN] constellation GLONASS [Termes descripteurs IGN] constellation GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] géocentre [Termes descripteurs IGN] mouvement du pôle [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbite [Termes descripteurs IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (Auteur) Significant differences in time series of geodynamic parameters determined with different Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) exist and are only partially explained. We study whether the different number of orbital planes within a particular GNSS contributes to the observed differences by analyzing time series of geocenter coordinates (GCCs) and pole coordinates estimated from several real and virtual GNSS constellations: GPS, GLONASS, a combined GPS/GLONASS constellation, and two virtual GPS sub-systems, which are obtained by splitting up the original GPS constellation into two groups of three orbital planes each. The computed constellation-specific GCCs and pole coordinates are analyzed for systematic differences, and their spectral behavior and formal errors are inspected. We show that the number of orbital planes barely influences the geocenter estimates. GLONASS’ larger inclination and formal errors of the orbits seem to be the main reason for the initially observed differences. A smaller number of orbital planes may lead, however, to degradations in the estimates of the pole coordinates. A clear signal at three cycles per year is visible in the spectra of the differences between our estimates of the pole coordinates and the corresponding IERS 08 C04 values. Combinations of two 3-plane systems, even with similar ascending nodes, reduce this signal. The understanding of the relation between the satellite constellations and the resulting geodynamic parameters is important, because the GNSS currently under development, such as the European Galileo and the medium Earth orbit constellation of the Chinese BeiDou system, also consist of only three orbital planes.

In this study, we compute different estimations of hydrological excitation functions of polar motion (as hydrological angular momentum, HAM) using various variables from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) models of the land-based hydrosphere. The main aim of this study is to show the influence of variables from different hydrological processes including evapotranspiration, runoff, snowmelt and soil moisture, on polar motion excitations at annual and short-term timescales. Hydrological excitation functions of polar motion are determined using selected variables of these GLDAS realizations. Furthermore, we use time-variable gravity field solutions from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) to determine the hydrological mass effects on polar motion excitation. We first conduct an intercomparison of the maps of variations of regional hydrological excitation functions, timing and phase diagrams of different regional and global HAMs. Next, we estimate the hydrological signal in geodetically observed polar motion excitation as a residual by subtracting the contributions of atmospheric angular momentum and oceanic angular momentum. Finally, the hydrological excitations are compared with those hydrological signals determined from residuals of the observed polar motion excitation series. The results will help us understand the relative importance of polar motion excitation within the individual hydrological processes, based on hydrological modeling. This method will allow us to estimate how well the polar motion excitation budget in the seasonal and inter-annual spectral ranges can be closed.
