Integrating NWP products into the analysis of GPS observables
The processing of the Global Positioning System (GPS) observables is regularly performed using some “a priori” standard meteorological values. These can be very unrealistic if only few observations are available since the actual atmospheric conditions over the geodetic network are neglected. This seems to be the case of randomly moving GPS receivers far from continuously observing reference sta...
متن کاملMeasurement and interpretation of subtle deformation signals at Unimak Island from 2003 to 2010 using weather model-assisted time series InSAR
A 7 year time series of satellite radar images over Unimak Island, Alaska—site of Westdahl Volcano, Fisher Caldera, and Shishaldin Volcano—was processed using a model-free Persistent Scatterer Interferometry technique assisted by numerical weather prediction model. The deformation-only signals were optimally extracted from atmosphere-contaminated phase records. The reconstructed deformation tim...
متن کاملThe rapid and precise computation of GPS slant total delays andmapping factors utilizing a numerical weather model
In a previous study we developed an elegant technique to compute the signal travel time delay due to the neutral atmosphere, also known as slant total delay (STD), between a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite and a ground-based receiver utilizing data from a numerical weather model (NWM). Currently, we make use of NWM data from the Global Forecast System (GFS) because short-range forecas...
متن کاملAtmosphere sounding using GPS radio occultation
Introduction On July 17, 1995 the U.S. Air Force announced “ .. that today the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation has met all requirements for Full Operational Capability”. Apart from precise positioning GPS signals also can be used to derive characteristic properties of the propagation medium (neutral atmosphere and ionosphere). Onboard the Low-Earth-Orbiting MICROLAB-1 sa...
متن کاملA 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...
