While these relationships can depend on multiple variables and their interactions, commonly used scalar methods like the (cross) correlation are only able to describe linear dependencies. However, particularly in regions with complex terrain, the statistical relationships between variables can be highly nonlinear and spatially heterogeneous. Therefore, we introduce Copula-based approaches for modeling and analyzing the full dependence structure. We give an introduction to Copula theory, including five of the most widely used models, namely the Frank, Clayton, Ali-Mikhail-Haq, Gumbel and Gaussian Copula, and use this approach for analyzing zenith tropospheric delays (ZTDs). We apply modeled ZTDs from the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model and estimated ZTDs through the processing of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and evaluate the pixel-wise dependence structures of ZTDs over a study area with complex terrain in Central Europe. The results show asymmetry and nonlinearity in the statistical relationships, which justifies the application of Copula-based approaches compared to, e.g., scalar measures. We apply a Copula-based correction for generating GNSS-like ZTDs from purely WRF-derived estimates. Particularly the corrected time series in the alpine regions show improved Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency values when compared against GNSS-based ZTDs. The proposed approach is therefore highly suitable for analyzing statistical relationships and correcting model-based quantities, especially in complex terrain, and when the statistical relationships of the analyzed variables are unknown.

However, ongoing forest disturbance due to logging, wildfires, or disease can introduce time-variable signals which could be misinterpreted as ground displacements. This study constrains the error introduced into InSAR time series in the presence of time-variable forest disturbance using synthetic data. For satellite platforms with randomly distributed orbital positions in time (e.g., Sentinel-1), mid-time series forest disturbance results in random error on the order of 0.2 and 10 cm/year for 1-year secular and time-variable velocities, respectively. If the orbital positions are not randomly distributed in time (e.g., ALOS-1), a biased error on the order of 10 cm/year is introduced to the inferred secular velocity. A time series using real ALOS-1 data near Eugene, OR, USA, shows agreement with the bias estimated by synthetic models. Mitigation of time-variable land cover change effects can be achieved if their timing is known, either through independent observations of surface properties (e.g., Landsat/Sentinel-2) or through the use of more computationally expensive, nonlinear inversions with additional terms for the timing of height changes. Inclusion of these additional terms reduces the potential for misinterpretation of InSAR signals associated with land surface change as ground deformation.

Such applications require high integrity, availability, and continuity of the positioning service. Integrity is assessed by the definition of a protection level, which is an estimation of the maximum positioning error at extremely low probability levels. The emergence of multi-frequency civilian signals and the availability of satellite-based augmentation systems improve the modeling of ionospheric disturbances considerably. As a result, in many applications the tropospheric delay tends to become one of the limiting factors of positioning—especially at low elevation angles. The currently adopted integrity concepts employ a global constant to model the variance of the residual tropospheric delay error. We introduce a new approach to derive residual tropospheric delay error models using the extreme value analysis technique. Seventeen years of global numerical weather model fields are analyzed, and new residual error models are derived for some recently developed tropospheric delay models. Our approach provides models that consider both the geographical location and the seasonal variation of meteorological parameters. Our models are validated with a 17-year-long time series of zenith tropospheric delay estimates as provided by the International GNSS Service. The results show that the developed models are still conservative, while the maximal residual error of the tropospheric delay is still improved by 39–55%. This improvement yields higher service availability and continuity in safety-of-life applications of GNSS.

Background tropospheric delay in geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar / Dexin Li in Remote sensing, vol 12 n° 18 (September 2020)

However, with the development of advanced SAR configurations, e.g., high resolution, bistatic, geosynchronous (GEO), the influence of tropospheric propagation error, which strongly depends on the weather, has begun to receive attention. In this paper, we focus on the effect of deterministic background tropospheric delay (BTD) during the image formation of GEO SAR. First, the decorrelation problems caused by the spatial variation and BTD are presented. Second, by combining with the SAR imaging geometry, the BTD error is decomposed as constant error, spatially variant error, and time variant error, the influences of which are analyzed under different circumstances. Third, an imaging method starting from the meteorological parameters and the GEO SAR systematic parameters is proposed to deal with the decorrelation problems. Finally, simulations with the dot-matrix targets are performed to validate the imaging method.

Benefits of non-tidal loading applied at distinct levels in VLBI analysis / Matthias Glomsda in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020) . - n° 90 Titre : Benefits of non-tidal loading applied at distinct levels in VLBI analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Matthias Glomsda, Auteur ; Mathis Blossfeld, Auteur ; Manuela Seitz, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 90 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] données ITGB [Termes descripteurs IGN] effet de charge [Termes descripteurs IGN] interférométrie à très grande base [Termes descripteurs IGN] pesanteur hors marée [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] série temporelle [Termes descripteurs IGN] surcharge hydrologique [Termes descripteurs IGN] surcharge océanique [Termes descripteurs IGN] transformation de Helmert Résumé : (auteur) In the analysis of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations, many geophysical models are used for correcting the theoretical signal delay. In addition to the conventional models described by Petit and Luzum (eds) (IERS Conventions, 2010), we are applying different parts of non-tidal site loading, namely the atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrological ones. To investigate their individual contributions, these parts are considered both separately and combined to a total loading. The application of the corresponding site displacements is performed at two distinct levels of the geodetic parameter estimation process (observation and normal equation level), which turn out to give very similar results in many cases. To validate our findings internally, the site displacements are provided by two different data centres: the Earth-System-Modelling group at the Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam (ESMGFZ, see Dill and Dobslaw, J Geophys Res Solid Earth, 2013. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50353ISTEX)] and the International Mass Loading Service [IMLS, see Petrov (The international mass loading service, 2015)]. We show that considering non-tidal loading is actually useful for mitigating systematic effects in the VLBI results, like annual signals in the station height time series. If the sum of all non-tidal loading parts is considered, the WRMS of the station heights and baseline lengths is reduced in 80–90% of all cases, and the relative improvement is about −3.5% on average. The main differences between our chosen providers originate from hydrological loading.
