Abstract Dual-band Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) measurements of precipitable water vapor (PWV) at the Kitt Peak National Observatory predict overall per-image sensitivity Mayall z -band Legacy Survey (MzLS). The variation in brightness individual stars is strongly correlated with measured PWV and color star. Synthetic stellar spectra through TAPAS transmission models successfully observed...

Considering the limitations related to the landslide monitoring by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique, the method of integration of Globe Positioning System (GPS) with Corner Reflector Interferometric SAR (CR-InSAR) techniques is proposed in this paper. Firstly, deformation in radar line-of-slight (LOS) direction is optimized by introducing the GPS-measured height and at...

Context. Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio galaxies are generally thought to be the young counterparts of classical extended radio sources. Statistically complete samples of GPS sources are vital for studying the early evolution of radio-loud AGN and the trigger of their nuclear activity. The ‘Parkes half-Jansky’ sample of GPS radio galaxies is such a sample, representing the southern count...

This research aims at enhancing the accuracy of land vehicular navigation systems by integrating GPS and Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) based inertial measurement units (IMU). This comprises improving the MEMS-based inertial output signals as well as investigating the limitations of a conventional Kalman Filtering (KF) solution for MEMS-IMU/GPS integration. These limitations are due to ...

[1] Since 1996 when GPS reflected signals were purposefully acquired, an effort to assess the utility of these signals has been under way. It was early determined that the reflected GPS signal can be related to ocean surface wind dependent slope probability densities. Quantifying that relationship has resulted in considerable data taken at wind speeds below those associated with tropical storms...
