1 Introduction to geodetic VLBI David Mayer Andreas Hellerschmied Johannes Böhm Harald Schuh and Johannes Böhm, Very Long Baseline Interferometry for Geodesy and Astrometry, in Guochang Xu (editor): Sciences of Geodesy II, Innovations and Future Developments, Springer Verlag, ISBN , doi: / , pp , 2013.
2 What is Geodesy Geodesy is the science of accurately measuring and understanding the Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field. Why use VLBI for geodesy? It is the only technique which is able to position the earth in space (estimate all 5 EOP) Intercontinental baselines (tectonic motion) Provides scale factor for the TRF Provides very accurate source position (CRF)
3 Difference astronomic and geodetic VLBI Astronomic VLBI interested in imaging sources etc. Geodetic VLBI interested in parameters of the Earth Sources are used as static reference points in the sky Stable, point-like and radio loud quasars are used Observations to these sources are used to estimate geodetic parameters, such as station coordinates, etc.
4 1.1 Geometric principle One VLBI observation A normal VLBI session consists of a globally distributed network
5 1.2 Data acquisition VLBI observation plans (schedules) define which sources are observed by which stations at which time Scheduling for Geodesy Typically 24h sessions with globally distributed station network observed in S- and X-Band simultaneously Packages SKED (Vandenberg 1999) or VieVS (Sun et al. 2014) All observations to one source at a time form a scan Different integration and slewing times need to be considered It is important to have as many observations as possible
6 1.2 Data acquisition Various optimisation criteria sky coverage, covariance matrix,... sky coverage important for tropospheric delays Why cover the sky with observations? Decorrelation of troposphere, clock and height of station by courtesy of Jing Sun
7 1.3 Correlation Observed data from a session is sent to a correlator Typical 24h session generates 1.5 TB data per station Either sent via post service or the internet Data correlation is computation intensive Nowadays usually done with software on computer clusters Results of correlation and post processing are the observables group delays τ
8 1.4 Data analysis
9 1.4 Data analysis In our excersise we will start with NGS files
10 2. Theoretical delays Before calculating the observed computed (o c) value, various models need to be applied IERS Conventions (Petit and Luzum 2010) IVS Conventions, e.g. thermal deformation
11 2.1 Station coordinates At first, coordinates (at a certain epoch, e.g. J2000.0) and velocities are taken from a specific realization of the ITRS, e.g. VTRF2008 or ITRF2008 tide free
12 2.1 Station coordinates Periodic corrections to get closer to true coordinates solid Earth tides ocean tide loading (ocean) pole tide loading tidal atmosphere loading (S1 and S2)
13 2.1 Station coordinates Aperiodic corrections atmosphere loading Radial displacement at August 1, 2008, 00 UT mm by courtesy of Dudy Wijaya
14 2.1 Station coordinates Aperiodic corrections atmosphere loading ocean non-tidal loading hydrology loading
15 2.1 Station coordinates
16 2.2 Earth orientation From the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) to the Geocentric Celestial Reference System (GCRS) at the epoch of the observation t Q motion of celestial intermediate pole (CIP) in CRF R rotation of the Earth around the CIP W polar motion of CIP w.r.t. TRF
17 2.2 Earth orientation by courtesy of Sigrid Böhm
18 2.2 Earth orientation Celestial pole offsets, UT1 UTC, polar motion need to be observed Daily values provided by the IERS to be used as a priori information Models for diurnal and sub-diurnal ocean tides Libration (forced polar motion)
19 2.3 General relativistic model for the VLBI time delay Consensus model by Eubanks (1991) defined in IERS Conventions by courtesy of Lucia Plank
20 2.4 Troposphere delay modelling Tropospheric delays Signal path is bent (G S) Lower propagation speed along the signal path S
21 2.4 Troposphere delay modelling More troposphere along the ray path = larger effect elevation dependence Zenith delay times mapping function to determine a priori slant delays and to estimate residual zenith delays Partials for clocks (= 1) and heights (= sin e) are exactly known; mapping function is not perfectly known
22 2.4 Troposphere delay modelling Separation into hydrostatic and wet part Continued fraction form for mapping functions e.g., Vienna Mapping Functions, Global Mapping Functions
23 2.4 Troposphere delay modelling Tropospheric gradients Raytracing
24 2.5 Antenna deformation Snow and ice loading Gravitational deformation Thermal deformation
25 2.6 Axis offsets.. are not absorbed by clock estimates when axes do not intersect VLBI reference point Nothnagel, 2009
26 2.7 Source structure Source structure effects SI 1 SI 4
27 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Classical Gauß-Markov model Kalman Filter (Herring et al. 1990) Collocation (Titov and Schuh 2000) minimize the squared sum of weighted residuals
28 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Observations equations (real and pseudo observations = constraints) Weight matrix
29 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Auxiliary parameters: clocks (quadratic functions plus piecewise linear offsets; reference clock), zenith wet delays and gradients Clock breaks Piecewise linear offsets at e.g. integer hours.. allows combination with other space geodetic techniques at normal equation level
30 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Many other geodetic/astrometric parameters to be estimated E.g., Earth orientation parameters can be estimated daily or with higher time resolution
31 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Global VLBI solutions from a (large) number of single solutions E.g., for station and source coordinates Often, auxiliary parameters are removed (= implicitly estimated)
32 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Global VLBI solutions
33 3 Least-squares adjustment in VLBI Conditions to prevent N matrix from being singular free networks need a datum rank deficiency is six (scale is defined by observations) NNR/NNT usually applied Episodic changes need to be considered (instrumental changes, Earthquakes)
34 4 Results from Geodetic VLBI and the IVS Status 2010 of IVS main products (Schlüter and Behrend 2007)
