# Coordinate Estimates: 450 4 10 13
Processing changes (last changes week 0860, see IGSREPORT.2807)
===============================================================
Starting with GPS week 0873 (day 273, 29-SEP-1996) we have made a
couple of changes to our routine processing.
The changes are twofold: we have started to use a different orbit model
which improves our orbit quality significantly and we have implemented
some of the new IERS 1996 Conventions.
The radiation pressure (RPR) model is enhanced with 3 additional
parameters of the Extended CODE Orbit Model. So instead of the "normal"
2 parameters D0 and Y0, the direct solar radiation scale parameter and the so
called Y-bias, we added a term which is perpendicular to these two parameters,
called X0. For this "X" component we also estimate once per revolution
terms. So the forces in this "X" direction are modelled as follows:
X = X0 + Xc cos(u) + Xs sin(u) (u = argument of latitude)
Where X0 is the constant term and Xc and Xs are the cosine and sine amplitudes
of the once per revolution terms respectively. The D and Y directions are
modelled with a constant term (D0 and Y0) only. The estimation of small
velocity changes every 12 hours in the Radial- and Along-track directions
(pseudo stochastic pulses) has not been changed.
The IERS 1996 Conventions which we have implemented are:
- Use of the DE200 planetary ephemerides (should be DE403 but that will come)
- Geopotential (using Elastic Earth):
- Step 1 corrections
- Step 2 corrections using the 7 largest terms
- Solid Earth Pole Tide
- Ocean Tides upto N=M=4 and a "cut-off" value of 0.05 cm.
We use the values from the OTIDES.CSRC file of the Univ. Texas.
We have studied the influence of these changes very carefully and found
that all our estimates improve except our LOD estimates. Our LOD bias
changes significantly and the noise of the estimates seems to increase
(which is also indicated by the increased formal error). The table below
summarizes these differences (based on days 217 to 272, 1996)
------------------------------------
LOD BIAS LOD RMS (us/day)
------------------------------------
OLD MODEL 0.023 0.034
NEW MODEL -0.022 0.045
------------------------------------
Most significant is the improvement of our GPS satellite orbit estimates.
We have checked the orbit quality by using long arc analysis,
SLR observed-computed residuals and by studying the orbit discrepancies at
the day boundaries.
In the long arc (7 days) analysis the new model is on average 10 mm better
then the old model. The results of the SLR analysis indicate an improvement
of the orbit quality from the 50-60 mm level to the 30-40 mm level.
For the check at the day boundary we compare the orbital elements
at the end of the (middle) day with the orbital elements at the start of
the next (middle) day solution. Graphically this can be explained as
follows:
day: 1 2 3 4
-----+-----+----- first 3-day arc
-----+-----+----- second 3-day arc
^
|__________ check point
The results of this check, which we believe to be a rather pessimistic
estimate since it is taken at the day boundary, are summarized below
(based on days 217 to 279, 1996).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#EPOCH RAD ALO OUT POS (all values in mm)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
non-eclipsing satellites:
OLD MODEL 1128 36 82 89 126
NEW MODEL 1135 22 42 33 58
--------------------------------------------------------------------
eclipsing satellites:
OLD MODEL 301 96 144 127 215
NEW MODEL 364 22 42 35 59
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shown are how many satellite epochs were used, and the rms of the radial,
along, out of plane and 3D-position differences over all epochs.
Differences in the number of epochs between the OLD and NEW model are caused
by the fact that if the 3D-position difference at the check point was larger
then 400 mm the satellite was considered as an outlier.
