Table 2 Models for Satellite Laser Ranging processing in individual and combined solutions
From: Determination of SLR station coordinates based on LEO, LARES, LAGEOS, and Galileo satellites
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Estimated parameters | Station coordinates, GCC, ERP |
Interval | One set of parameters per 7 days (except for ERP with one set per day) |
Satellite positions | From GPS-based POD for LEO, from CODE-MGEX for Galileo, from SLR-based POD for spherical satellites |
Center-of-mass position | Provided by mission supplier and distributed by ILRS |
LRA reference point position | Provided by mission supplier and distributed by ILRS |
Reference frame | SLRF2014 [ILRS realization of ITRF2014, Altamimi et al. (2016)] |
Gravity field | EGM2008 (Pavlis et al. 2012) |
Solid Earth, pole, and ocean pole tides | IERS2010 (Petit and Luzum 2010) |
Ocean tides | FES2004 (Lyard et al. 2006) |
Ocean tidal loading | FES2004 (calculated by Scherneck 1991) |
Tropospheric refraction | IERS2010, Mendes and Pavlis (2004) |
Relativity | IERS2010 (Petit and Luzum 2010) |
