1 Numerical evidence for the inconsistent separation of the ITRF-ICRF transformation into precession-nutation, diurnal rotation and polar motion Athanasios Dermanis and Dimitrios Tsoulis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki IERS Workshop on Conventions, September 2007, BIM, aris
2 A computation of the celestial pole direction as induced by geodetic observations and its comparison with the Celestial Intermediate ole Athanasios Dermanis and Dimitrios Tsoulis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki IERS Workshop on Conventions, September 2007, BIM, aris
3 A geodesist s point of of view Do not include astronomical / geophysical hypotheses in data analysis for the estimation of parameters which can be determined by geodetic observations in a hypothesis-free way Then data analysis provides theory-independent parameters appropriate for comparison with theoretical results Theory verification / Data validation
4 Comparing geodetic data with precession-nutation theory IAU2000 precession-nutation theory refers to the Celestial Intermediate ole (CI The CI is not observable (its position cannot be determined by observations because it is defined by purely theoretical means in the framework of a particular solution and a particular mathematical representation The real observable is the 3-parameter rotation matrix R from the terrestrial to the celestial reference system From observed R it is possible to determine the direction (and modulus of the instantaneous earth rotation vector and not the direction of the CI
5 Attention!!!!!! Updating a theory-provided rotation matrix R 0 from the left (δr L and the right (δr R using geodetic data, does not provide an update to precession-nutation (δr L and update of LOD and estimates of polar motion (δr R, respectively. ICRF R = δ R R δ R L 0 R ITRF not only an update of precession-nutation not only an update of LOD and an estimate of polar motion
6 Attention!!!!!! Updating a theory-provided rotation matrix R 0 from the left (δr L and the right (δr R using geodetic data, does not provide an update to precession-nutation (δr L and update of LOD and estimates of polar motion (δr R, respectively. ICRF R = δ R R δ R L 0 R ITRF They both contribute to - precession-nutation, -LOD - polar motion ROOF: A simple exercise in matrix algebra

23 VALIDATION OF OF RESULTS ART ART 3 Effect Effect of of data data noise noise High frequencies in data errors may create large error values in computed derivatives Treatment: Data smoothing by moving averages Simple moving average: f% i = k 1 2k + 1 m= k f i+ m Effect on final results: Somewhat smaller amplitudes for larger k in computed differences between CC & CI parameters. But 2 basic frequencies remain dominant!

25 CONCLUSIONS Differences between the position of the Compatible Celestial ole (CC and the position of the Celestial Intermediate ole (CI are significant. The respective parameters referring to the celestial (X,Y and the terrestrial reference system (polar motion x, y demonstrate differences which vary in time with two dominant terms: % T T = 13.6 days 1 = days 2 X Y X % T T = 13.6 days 1 = days 2 Y % T 1 = days T 2 = 14.2 days x x % T 1 = days T 2 = 14.2 days y y
26 FUTURE WORK Investigate theoretically the effect of biases & systematic errors in the rotation matrix R, on the CC coordinates XY %, % Investigate theoretically the effect of aliasing on data with diurnal resolution. Higher resolution data available? BEFORE Comparing with CI Instantaneous Celestial ole separation as defined by astronomical theory.
