Estimation of EOP from VLBI: Direct Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The currently adopted strategy of EOP estimation from VLBI is to estimate six parameters: UT1, UT1 rate, pole positions and nutation o sets for each 24-hour session independently. Then the resulting time series of raw Earth orientation parameters are ltered and a regression analysis is performed in order to obtain nutation coe cients, polhode of the pole and other physical parameters. Thus, the latter parameters are obtained indirectly in two stages. An alternative approach of direct estimation of the nal Earth orientation parameters is presented. Pole coordinates and UT1 are considered as a sum of three components: the low-period component which is modeled by a cubic spline, the harmonic component which includes forced nutation, precession and subdaily variations of EOP, and the stochastic component which is modeled by a linear spline with segment length 1{2 hours. All parameters are obtained in a single LSQ solution using all available data.

On comparison of the Earth orientation parameters obtained from different VLBI networks and observing programs
In this paper, a new geometry index of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observing networks, the volume of network V , is examined as an indicator of the errors in the Earth orientation parameters (EOP) obtained from VLBI observations. It has been shown that both EOP precision and accuracy can be well described by the power law σ = aV c in a wide range of the network size from domestic t...
متن کاملOn Computation of Combined IVS EOP Series
Three topics related to computation of the combined IVS EOP series are discussed. The first one is the consistency of the VLBI EOP series with the IERS reference frames ITRF and ICRF. Not all IVS analysis centers use ITRF/ICRF as reference system for EOP solutions. Some of them realize global solution for simultaneous determination of CRF, TRF and EOP with no-net-rotation constrains w.r.t. ITRF...
متن کاملEffect of post-seismic deformation on earth orientation parameter estimates from VLBI observations: a case study at Gilcreek, Alaska
Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) provide a link between the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). Natural geodynamic processes, such as earthquakes, can cause the motion of stations to become discontinuous and/or non-linear, thereby corrupting the EOP estimates if the sites are assumed to move linearly. The VLBI antenna at th...

This study was conducted to estimate the genetic parameters of litter size (LS) in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach. The data originated from the Jafar-Abad Station of Ardabil province, Iran, and included 9698 lactation records of 4977 ewes with lambings from 1995 until 2010. The pedigree file consisted of data on animals born from 1987 to 2010. The significance of fixe...
