An observation operator for ground-based GPS slant delays

A forward operator and its adjoint for GPS slant total delays

In a recent study we developed a fast and accurate algorithm to compute Global Positioning System (GPS) Slant Total Delay (STDs) utilizing numerical weather model data. Having developed a forward operator we construct in this study the tangent linear (adjoint) operator by application of the chain rule of differential calculus in forward (reverse) mode. Armed with these operators we show in a si...

4D Tropospheric Tomography using GPS Estimated Slant Delays

Tomographic techniques are successfully applied to obtain 4D images of the tropospheric refractivity in a local dense network. In the lower atmosphere both the small height and time scales and the non-dispersive nature of tropospheric delays require a more careful analysis of the data. We show how GPS data is processed to obtain the tropospheric slant delays using the GIPSY-OASIS II software an...

Generalised Slant Weighted Toeplitz Operator

A slant weighted Toeplitz operator Aφ is an operator on L(β) defined as Aφ = WMφ where Mφ is the weighted multiplication operator and W is an operator on L(β) given by We2n = βn β2n en, {en}n∈Z being the orthonormal basis. In this paper, we generalise Aφ to the k-th order slant weighted Toeplitz operator Uφ and study its properties. Keywords—Slant weighted Toeplitz operator, weighted multiplica...

On kth-Order Slant Weighted Toeplitz Operator

Let β = [formula: see text] be a sequence of positive numbers with β0 = 1, 0 < β(n)/β(n+1) ≤ 1 when n ≥ 0 and 0 < β(n)/β(n-1) ≤ 1 when n ≤ 0. A kth-order slant weighted Toeplitz operator on L(2)(β) is given by U(φ) = W(k)M(φ), where M(φ) is the multiplication on L(2)(β) and W(k) is an operator on L(2)(β) given by W(k)e(nk)(z) = (β(n)/β(nk))e(n)(z), [formula: see text] being the orthonormal basi...
