顾及映射函数误差的对流层延迟两步估计法

A two-step estimation method of troposphere delay with consideration of mapping function errors

利用VLBI、GNSS等空间大地测量数据估计对流层延迟时,通常不考虑映射函数的误差,但这种处理策略最终会对估计结果造成不可忽略的影响。首先,根据多年的气象资料,分析了映射函数误差随高度角的变化特性,然后构建了映射函数误差模型,进而提出了一种顾及映射函数误差的对流层延迟两步估计法。试验表明,本文提出的方法可有效削弱斜路径延迟残差,并在一定程度上改善对流层湿延迟的估计精度。

Mapping function errors are usually not taken into consideration, when space geodetic data observed by VLBI, GNSS and some other techniques are utilized to estimate troposphere delay, which could, however, probably bring non-ignorable errors to solutions. After analyzing the variation of mapping function errors with elevation angles based on several-year meteorological data, this paper constructed a model of this error and then proposed a two-step estimation method of troposphere delay with consideration of mapping function errors. The experimental results indicate that the method puted forward by this paper could reduce the slant path delay residuals efficiently and improve the estimation accuracy of wet tropospheric delay to some extent.
