In particular, the first three degree geopotential terms are important, as they relate to intrinsic Earth’s mass references: gravitational coefficient (GM) of the Earth (degree 0), geocenter motion (degree 1), Earth’s figure axis orientation (degree 2). This paper presents a self-consistent determination of these three properties of the Earth. The main objective is to deal with the remaining sources of altimetry satellite orbit uncertainties affecting the fundamental record of sea surface height measurements. The analysis identifies the modeling errors, which should be mitigated when estimating the geocenter coordinates from Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations. The long-term behavior of the degree-0 and -2 spherical harmonics is also observed over the 34-year period 1984–2017 from the long-time history of satellite laser tracking to geodetic spherical satellites. From the analysis of the evolution of these two coefficients, constraints regarding the Earth’s rheology and uncertainties in the value of GM could be inferred. Overall, the influence of the orbit characteristics, SLR station ranging/position biases and satellite signature effects, measurement modeling errors (tropospheric corrections, non-tidal deformations) are also discussed.

Therefore, we carry out extensive Monte Carlo simulations in order to investigate the feasibility of geodetic VLBI for precise orbit determination (POD) of MEO satellites and assess the impact of quality and quantity of satellite observations on the derived geodetic parameters. The MEO satellites are represented in our study by LAGEOS-1/-2 and a set of Galileo satellites. The concept is studied on the basis of 3-day solutions in which satellite observations are included into real schedules of the continuous geodetic VLBI campaign 2017 (CONT17) as well as simulated schedules concerning the next-generation VLBI system, known as the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). Our results indicate that geodetic VLBI can perform on a comparable level as other space-geodetic techniques concerning POD of MEO satellites. For an assumed satellite observation precision better than 14.1 mm (47 ps), an average 3D orbit precision of 2.0 cm and 6.3 cm is found for schedules including LAGEOS-1/-2 and Galileo satellites, respectively. Moreover, geocenter offsets, which were so far out of scope for the geodetic VLBI analysis, are close to the detection limit for the simulations concerning VGOS observations of Galileo satellites, with the potential to further enhance the results. Concerning the estimated satellite orbits, VGOS leads to an average precision improvement of 80% with respect to legacy VLBI. In absolute terms and for satellite observation precision of 14.1 mm (47 ps), this corresponds to an average value of 17 mm and 7 mm concerning the 3D orbit scatter and precision of geocenter components, respectively. As shown in this study, a poor satellite geometry can degrade the derived Earth rotation parameters and VLBI station positions, compared to the quasar-only reference schedules. Therefore, careful scheduling of both quasar and satellite observations should be performed in order to fully benefit from this novel observation concept.

Given such a fundamental role in satellite geodesy, it is crucial that any systematic errors in either technique are at an absolute minimum as efforts continue to realise the reference frame at millimetre levels of accuracy to meet the present and future science requirements. Here, we examine the intrinsic accuracy of SLR measurements made by tracking stations of the International Laser Ranging Service using normal point observations of the two LAGEOS satellites in the period 1993 to 2014. The approach we investigate in this paper is to compute weekly reference frame solutions solving for satellite initial state vectors, station coordinates and daily Earth orientation parameters, estimating along with these weekly average range errors for each and every one of the observing stations. Potential issues in any of the large number of SLR stations assumed to have been free of error in previous realisations of the ITRF may have been absorbed in the reference frame, primarily in station height. Likewise, systematic range errors estimated against a fixed frame that may itself suffer from accuracy issues will absorb network-wide problems into station-specific results. Our results suggest that in the past two decades, the scale of the ITRF derived from the SLR technique has been close to 0.7 ppb too small, due to systematic errors either or both in the range measurements and their treatment. We discuss these results in the context of preparations for ITRF2014 and additionally consider the impact of this work on the currently adopted value of the geocentric gravitational constant, GM.

Comparison of Satellite-Only Gravity Field Models Constructed with All and Parts of the GOCE Gravity Gradient Dataset / Sean L. Bruinsma in Marine geodesy, vol 39 n° 3-4 (March - June 2016)

All models were constructed with the same Laser Geodynamics Satellite (LAGEOS) and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data, which were combined with one or two of the diagonal gravity gradient components for the entire GOCE mission (November 2009 to October 2013). The Stokes coefficients were estimated by solving large normal equation (NE) systems (i.e., the direct numerical approach). The models were evaluated through comparisons with the European Space Agency's (ESA) gravity field model DIR-R5, by GPS/Leveling, GOCE orbit determination, and geostrophic current evaluations. Among the single gradient models, only the model constructed with the vertical ZZ gradients gave good results that were in agreement with the formal errors. The model based only on XX gradients is the least accurate. The orbit results for all models are very close and confirm this finding. All models constructed with two diagonal gradient components are more accurate than the ZZ-only model due to doubling the amount of data and having two complementary observation directions. This translates also to a slower increase of model errors with spatial resolution. The different evaluation methods cannot unambiguously identify the most accurate two-component model. They do not always agree, emphasizing the importance of evaluating models using many different methods. The XZ gravity gradient gives a small positive contribution to model accuracy.

Moreover, the SLR technique has a great contribution to a definition of the global terrestrial reference frame, estimation of the Earth rotation parameters and the time variable Earth's gravity field. The long time series of precise SLR observations allow validating many models, e.g., ocean tide models, Earth gravity field models, atmospheric pressure loading models, atmosphere and ocean induced time variable gravity field models, etc. We have shown that appropriate modeling of gravitational and non-gravitational forces is essential for orbit determination of geodetic satellites. Concerning the gravitational forces, the coefficient C20 couses the largest perturbations on LAGEOS satellites. The sensitivity of LAGEOS orbits dramatically decreases for higher degree geopotential coefficients, whereas low orbiting geodetic satellites are very sensitive to both, low- and medium-degree coefficients of the Earth's gravity field. The differences between the current ocean tide models have bigger impact on LAGEOS orbits than the differences between the current Earth gravity field models. The mean differences between solutions using various ocean tide models (max. 1.32 mm of RMS) are larger than the mean differences between orbit solutions using various Earth gravity field models (max. 1.16 mm of RMS). Insufficient quality of the S2 tide constituent causes large variations of the empirical orbit parameters of SLR geodetic satellites, as well as variations for different type satellites, e.g., GRACE. The atmospheric drag causes a secular decay of semi-major axes of low orbiting geodetic satellites, i.e., Starlette, Stella, and AJISAI, whereas the Yarkovsky and the Yarkovsky- Schach effects cause a secular decay of LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2. The decay of the semi-major axis of LAGEOS-1 is smaller than the decay reported in many earlier papers due to the satellite's de-spinning effect. The decay is fiaL1 = Note de contenu : 1 Introduction 1.1 Role of Satellite Laser Ranging in Science 1.2 Objectives and Methods 1.3 Structure 2 Satellite Geodesy 2.1 Reference Systems and Frames 2.2 Satellite Orbit Modeling 2.3 Parameter Estimation Using the Least-Squares Method 2.4 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) 2.5 Satellite Laser Ranging 3 Gravitational Forces Acting on Geodetic Satellites 3.1 Solution Description 3.2 LAGEOS Sensitivity to Earth Gravity Field Models 3.3 LAGEOS Sensitivity to Ocean Tide Models 3.4 Discussion and Conclusions 4 Non-gravitational Forces Acting on Geodetic Satellites 4.1 Thermal effects 4.2 Earth Radiation Pressure 4.3 Atmospheric Drag 4.4 Discussion and Conclusions 5 Improving SLR Solutions 5.1 Impact of Loading Corrections on SLR Solutions 5.2 The Blue-Sky effect 5.3 Orbit Modeling of Low Orbiting Geodetic Satellites 5.4 Combined LAGEOS-LEO Solutions 5.5 Simultaneous Estimation of Gravity Field along with other Parameters 5.6 Time Variable Earth's Gravity Field From SLR 5.7 Discussion and Conclusions Numéro de notice : 14914 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Rapport de recherche En ligne : https://www.sgc.ethz.ch/sgc-volumes/sgk-93.pdf Format de la ressource électronique : URL Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=76821
