The VTEC is estimated using a territorial network consisting of 7 GNSS stations in Egypt and 10 GNSS stations from the International GNSS Service (IGS) Global network. The impact of magnetic activity on VTEC is investigated. Due to the deficiency of IGS receivers in north Africa and the shortage of GNSS measurements, an extra high interpolation is done to cover the deficit of data over North Africa. A MATLAB code was created to produce VTEC maps for Egypt utilizing a territorial network contrasted with global maps of VTEC, which are delivered by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). Thus we can have genuine VTEC maps estimated from actual GNSS measurements over any region of North Africa. A Spherical Harmonics Expansion (SHE) equation was modelled using MATLAB and called Local VTEC Model (LVTECM) to estimate VTEC values using observations of dual-frequency GNSS receivers. The VTEC calculated from GNSS measurement using LVTECM is compared with CODE VTEC results and IRI-2016 VTEC model results. The analysis of outcomes demonstrates a good convergence between VTEC from CODE and estimated from LVTECM. A strong correlation between LVTECM and CODE reaches about 96 % and 92 % in high and low magnetic activity, respectively. The most extreme contrasts are found to be 2.5 TECu and 1.3 TECu at high and low magnetic activity, respectively. The maximum discrepancies between LVTECM and IRI-2016 are 9.7 TECu and 2.3 TECu at a high and low magnetic activity. Variation in VTEC due to magnetic activity ranges from 1–5 TECu in moderate magnetic activity. The estimated VTEC from the regional network shows a 95 % correlation between the estimated VTEC from LVTECM and CODE with a maximum difference of 5.9 TECu.

In this paper, we present the usage of 160 GPS reference stations over the period of 14 days to monitor and track Hurricane Harvey, which struck Texas in August 2017. We estimate the Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD) and the tropospheric gradients with 30 s interval using TOMION v2 software and carry out the processing in Precise Point Positioning (PPP) mode. We study the relationship of these parameters with atmospheric variables extracted from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite mission and climate reanalysis model ERA5. This research finds that the ZWD shows patterns related to the rainfall rate and to the location of the hurricane. We also find that the tropospheric gradients are correlated with water vapor gradients before and after the hurricane, and with the wind and the pressure gradients only after the hurricane. This study also shows a new finding regarding the spectral distribution of the gradients, with a clear diurnal period present, which is also found on the ZWD itself. This kind of study approaches the GNSS meteorology to the increasing requirements of meteorologist in terms of monitoring severe weather events.

Therefore, an hourly rainfall forecast (HRF) model based on a supervised learning algorithm is proposed in this study to predict rainfall with high accuracy and time resolution. Hourly PWV derived from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and temperature data are used as input parameters of the HRF model, and a support vector machine is introduced to train the proposed model. In addition, this model also considers the time autocorrelation of rainfall in the previous epoch. Hourly PWV data of 21 GNSS stations and collocated meteorological parameters (temperature and rainfall) for five years in Taiwan Province are selected to validate the proposed model. Internal and external validation experiments have been performed under the cases of slight, moderate, and heavy rainfall. Average root-mean-square error (RMSE) and relative RMSE of the proposed HRF model are 1.36/1.39 mm/h and 1.00/0.67, respectively. In addition, the proposed HRF model is compared with the similar works in previous studies. Compared results reveal the satisfactory performance and superiority of the proposed HRF model in terms of time resolution and forecast accuracy.

Estimation and analysis of GPS inter-fequency clock biases from long-term triple-frequency observations / Fan Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 4 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 25 n° 4 (October 2021) . - n° 126 Titre : Estimation and analysis of GPS inter-fequency clock biases from long-term triple-frequency observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fan Zhang, Auteur ; Hongzhou Chai, Auteur ; Linyang Li, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 126 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur systématique interfréquence d'horloge [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] phase GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] station GNSS [Termes IGN] triple différence [Termes IGN] variation temporelle Résumé : (auteur) Usually, the difference between the satellite clocks computed with L1/L2 and clocks computed with L1/L5 is defined as inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB). It is critical to correct its L5 time-variant portion in the GNSS triple-frequency precise positioning. Using two years of observations from more than 100 stations worldwide, we use the epoch-differenced method to estimate IFCB for all available 12 GPS BLOCK-IIF satellites, and analyze its short-term and long-term variations. The experimental results indicate that the IFCB variations are clearly consistent for two satellites located in the same orbital plane, which perhaps means that the variations of IFCB are dependent on the orbital plane. We found that the IFCB of each Block-IIF satellite shows repetition characteristics over two years. The annual repetition cycle of 352 days of IFCB is consistent with the GPS year 351.4 days may originate from the rotation of satellites around the earth. GPS triple-frequency uncombined PPP is carried out using 9 globally distributed MGEX stations from June 1 to 30, 2018. The experimental results indicate that compared to the PPP solutions without IFCB corrections, GPS triple-frequency PPP can achieve an accuracy of 2.2, 3.8 and 11.4 mm in the north, east, and up components after correcting IFCB, which is an accuracy increase in 31.3%, 17.4%, and 13.0%, respectively. The average RMS of the phase posteriori residuals for each frequency is also reduced significantly, especially 79.1% for L5 frequency.

Evaluation of methods for connecting InSAR to a terrestrial reference frame in the Latrobe Valley, Australia / P.J. Johnston in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 10 (October 2021)

For InSAR rates to be reliably interpreted as uplift or subsidence, they must be connected to a defined Earth-centred terrestrial reference frame (TRF), usually made through GNSS continuously operating reference stations (CORS). We adapt and compare three methods of TRF connection proposed by different studies which we term the single CORS RP (SCRP), plane-fit multiple CORS (PFMC), and the multiple CORS RP (MCRP). We generalise equations for these methods, and importantly, develop equations to propagate InSAR and GNSS uncertainties through the transformation process. This is significant, because it is important to not only estimate the InSAR uncertainties, but also to account for the uncertainties that are introduced when connecting to the CORS so as to better inform our interpretation of the deformation field and the limitation of the measurements. We then test these methods using Sentinel-1 data in the Latrobe Valley, Australia. These results indicate that differences among the three TRF connection methods may be greater than their estimated uncertainties. MCRP appears the most reliable method, although it may be limited in large study areas with sparse CORS due to long wavelength InSAR errors and that gaps and/or steps may appear at the spatial limit from the CORS. SCRP relies on the quality of the single CORS connection, but can be validated by unconnected CORS in the study area. The PFMC method is suited to larger areas undergoing slow, constant deformation covering large spatial extents where there are evenly distributed CORS across the study area. Selecting an optimal method of TRF connection is dependent on local site conditions, CORS network geometry and the characteristics of the deformation field. Hence, the choice of TRF connection method should be carefully considered, because different methods may result in significantly different transformed deformation rates. We confirm slow subsidence across the Latrobe Valley relative to the vertical component of the ITRF2014, with localised high subsidence rates near open cut mining activities. Subsidence of ~ -6 mm/year is observed in the adjacent coastal region which may exacerbate relative sea level rise along the coastline, increasing future risks of coastal inundation.
