Tropospheric delay is one of the main sources of measurement error in global navigation satellite systems.It is usually compensated by using an empirical correction model.In this paper,temporal and spatial variations of the global zenith tropospheric delay(ZTD) are further analyzed by ZTD time series from global International GNSS Service stations and annual ZTDs derived from global National Centers for Environmental Prediction reanalysis data,respectively.A new ZTD correction model,named IGGtrop,is developed based on the characteristics of ZTD.Experimental results show that this new 3D-grid-based model that accommodates longitudinal as well as latitudinal variations of ZTD performs better than latitude-only based models(such as UNB3,EGNOS,and UNB3m).The global average bias and RMS for IGGtrop are about-0.8 cm and 4.0 cm,respectively.Bias values for UNB3,EGNOS,and UNB3m are 2.0,2.0,and 0.7 cm,respectively,and respective RMS values 5.4,5.4,and 5.0 cm.IGGtrop shows much more consistent prediction errors for different areas than EGNOS and UNB3m,In China,the performance of IGGtrop(bias values from-2.0 to 0.4 cm and RMS from 2.1 to 6.4 cm) is clearly superior to those of EGNOS and UNB3m.It is also demonstrated that IGGtrop biases vary little with height,and its RMS values tend to decrease with increasing height.In addition,IGGtrop generally estimates ZTD with greater accuracy than EGNOS and UNB3m in the Southern Hemisphere.
提出并实现了一种基于广播星历和区域参考网的实时精密单点定位的新算法——NAPPP(network augmented precise point positioning)。采用可实时获取的广播星历,将用户站与附近的若干参考站一起联合处理,实时估计用户站位置参数以及导航卫星轨道和钟差改正数。实验结果表明,NAPPP算法静、动态实时定位精度分别为1～2cm和2～6cm,其定位精度和收敛速度明显优于基于IGS最终轨道和30s钟差的PPP定位结果,与基于CODE最终轨道和5s钟差的PPP定位结果相当。
During the period when a GPS satellite,the Earth and the Sun are approximately collinear,the phenomenon of eclipsing the satellite occurs,when the satellite yaw attitude deviates from its nominal case,i.e. the body X-axis cannot point towards the Sun for Block II&IIA or away from it for Block IIR satellites. The yaw attitude of the eclipsing satellites has a significant influence on both the satellite clock estimation at each International GNSS Service (IGS) Analysis Center (AC) and for users of the precise point positioning (PPP) implementations. It is known that,during the eclipsing periods,inconsistent yaw attitude models among the ACs will contribute to the errors of the IGS combined clock products. As for the PPP user,the influence of the eclipsing satellite is two-fold. First,as the satellite clocks are always kept fixed during PPP implementation,the above-mentioned problematic IGS clocks will inevitably be passed on to the PPP estimates. Second,the improper yaw attitude modeling of the eclipsing satellite will cause a correction bias exceeding 1 dm for the two kinds of attitude-related systematic errors,namely the phase wind-up and satellite antenna phase center offset,which will further deteriorate the accuracy of the PPP solutions. A yaw attitude model is introduced in this paper with the aim of improving the reliability of PPP solutions during the satellite eclipsing period.
