ITRF Densification and Continuous Realization by the IGS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tools and infrastructure are now in place to realize a global, terrestrial, kinematic reference frame with few millimeter precision, which is both spatially dense, and can be reliably updated on a frequent basis (e.g., monthly). A procedure is outlined by which IERS can continuously realize the ITRF using methodology developed by the International GPS Service (IGS). However, spatial densification not only requires such a processing scheme, but also requires the recruitment of interested groups to participate in this venture.

Error analysis on IGS precise ephemeris of GPS
submitted to WPGM, 2006 The IGS precise orbits of GPS have been widely used in the world ever since the beginning of their broadcast in 1994. Major changes have taken place both in the data processing softwares and the reference frame over the years, but the orbits have not been updated. In this study we reanalyzed the GPS data from the IGS global tracking station since 1994 and compared our re...

Measurements of the dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used to calculate the electron density and the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere layer of the Earth atmosphere. TEC is a key parameter for investigating the ongoing spatial and temporal physical process of the ionosphere. For accurate estimation of TEC from GPS measurements, GPS satellites and GPS r...
متن کاملDetermining the order of minimal realization of descriptor systems without use of the Weierstrass canonical form
A common method to determine the order of minimal realization of a continuous linear time invariant descriptor system is to decompose it into slow and fast subsystems using the Weierstrass canonical form. The Weierstrass decomposition should be avoided because it is generally an ill-conditioned problem that requires many complex calculations especially for high-dimensional systems. The present ...
