Geometric Reference Systems in Geodesy Geometric Reference Systems in Geodesy by Christopher Jekeli Division of Geodetic Science School of Earth Sciences Ohio State University August 2016 Copyright © 2016 Christopher Jekeli Foreword These notes are the result of combining two graduate courses, Geometric Geodesy and Geodetic Astronomy , taught for many years at Ohio State University to students pursuing the Master of Science degree in Geodesy. Since the early 1990s, parts of these two courses have become irrelevant, anachronistic, and in need of revision. The resulting course, now called Geometric Reference Systems , combines the geometrical aspects of terrestrial and celestial reference systems with an emphasis on modern realizations of these geodetic coordinate systems. The adjective, geometric , implies that no attempt is made to introduce the Earth’s gravity field, which historically formed an integral part of geodetic control. Of course, the gravity field still holds a prominent place in geodesy and it is covered in other courses. But with the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), it arguably has a more specialized role to play in establishing and realizing our reference systems, restricted essentially to traditional vertical control. For this reason, the vertical datum is covered only briefly, since a thorough understanding (especially with respect to transformations between vertical datums) can only be achieved with a solid background in geopotential modeling. These notes are fashioned after corresponding texts of the previous courses, notably R.H. Rapp’s lecture notes, P.K. Seidelmann’s supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, and the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) Technical Notes on reference system conventions. The present exposition is largely self-contained, however, and the reader need only refer to these and other texts in a few instances to obtain an extended discussion. The new reference system conventions recently (2003, 2010) adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the IERS have been added in a way that emphasizes and illustrates the evolution of reference systems that new satellite and space observations have wrought. The current (2016) edition of these notes replaces the previous (2006, 2012) editions with several revisions that correct errors or better elaborate some concepts and that bring the entire content up to date, although the general topic is in a permanent state of evolution as new techniques and observational accuracies are achieved. In particular, the upcoming (already implemented in some cases) new paradigms in geodetic control in the U.S. and elsewhere will modernize and bring improved consistency to this important aspect of infrastructure for society and geophysical science. Problems are included to help the reader get involved in the derivations of the mathematics of reference systems and to illustrate, in some cases, the numerical aspects of the topics.

The object of this book is to study the various local, regional, and global reference systems that are in use to describe coordinates of points on the Earth’s surface or in near space and to relate them to each other as well as to some "absolute" frame, visually, a celestial frame. As the title of the book implies, we deal mostly with the geometry of these systems, although the physics of the Earth plays a very important part. However, the relevant geophysics and geodynamics are discussed more comprehensively in other courses on physical geodesy and geodynamics. Also, the mapping of points and their coordinates onto the plane, that is, the topic of map projections, is not treated in this text. The purpose is mainly to explore the geometric definition of reference systems and their practical realizations. To establish coordinates of points requires that we set up a coordinate system with origin, orientation, and scale defined in such a way that these are accessible to all users. Only until recently, the most accessible reference for coordinates from a global perspective was the celestial sphere of stars that were used primarily for charting and navigation, but also served as a fundamental system to which other terrestrial coordinate systems could be oriented. Still today, the celestial reference system is used for that purpose and may be thought of as the ultimate in reference systems. At the next level, one defines coordinate systems attached to the Earth with various origins (and perhaps different orientations and scale). We thus have two fundamental tasks before us: 1) to establish an external ("inertial") coordinate system of our local universe that we assume remains fixed in the sense of no rotation; and Geometric Reference Systems 1 - 1 Jekeli, August 2016 2) to establish a coordinate system attached to our rotating and orbiting Earth, and in so doing to find the relationship between these two systems. In fact, we will develop the terrestrial coordinate system before discussing the celestial system, since the latter is almost trivial by comparison and the important aspects concern the transformation between the systems. 1.1 Preliminary Mathematical Relations Although the conventional and well known Cartesian coordinates, x, y , z , are certainly the simplest from a mathematical perspective, the Earth is nearly spherical and for global applications, some type of curvilinear coordinates may be preferable. Indeed, spherical coordinates and spherical trigonometry are essential tools for the mathematical manipulations of coordinates of objects on the celestial sphere. Similarly, for global terrestrial coordinates, the early map makers used spherical coordinates, although, today, these are rarely used for geodetic terrestrial systems except with justified approximations. It is useful, nevertheless, to review the polar spherical coordinates , according to Figure 1.1, where θ is the co-latitude (angle from the pole), λ is the longitude (angle from the x-axis), and r is radial distance of a point. Sometimes the latitude, φ , is used instead of the co-latitude – but we reserve φ for the "geodetic latitude" (Figure 2.5) and use ψ= π2 − θ instead to mean "geocentric" latitude. z r θ y λ x Figure 1.1: Spherical polar coordinates. Geometric Reference Systems 1 - 2 Jekeli, August 2016 On a unit sphere, the “length” (in radians) of a great circle arc is equal to the angle subtended at the center (see Figure 1.2).

  • Navigation and the Global Positioning System (GPS): the Global Positioning System
    Navigation and the Global Positioning System (GPS): The Global Positioning System: Few changes of great importance to economics and safety have had more immediate impact and less fanfare than GPS. • GPS has quietly changed everything about how we locate objects and people on the Earth. • GPS is (almost) the final step toward solving one of the great conundrums of human history. Where the heck are we, anyway? In the Beginning……. • To understand what GPS has meant to navigation it is necessary to go back to the beginning. • A quick look at a ‘precision’ map of the world in the 18th century tells one a lot about how accurate our navigation was. Tools of the Trade: • Navigations early tools could only crudely estimate location. • A Sextant (or equivalent) can measure the elevation of something above the horizon. This gives your Latitude. • The Compass could provide you with a measurement of your direction, which combined with distance could tell you Longitude. • For distance…well counting steps (or wheel rotations) was the thing. An Early Triumph: • Using just his feet and a shadow, Eratosthenes determined the diameter of the Earth. • In doing so, he used the last and most elusive of our navigational tools. Time Plenty of Weaknesses: The early tools had many levels of uncertainty that were cumulative in producing poor maps of the world. • Step or wheel rotation counting has an obvious built-in uncertainty. • The Sextant gives latitude, but also requires knowledge of the Earth’s radius to determine the distance between locations. • The compass relies on the assumption that the North Magnetic pole is coincident with North Rotational pole (it’s not!) and that it is a perfect dipole (nope…).

Curves in R2 : x2 y2 ellipse + =1 a2 b2 x2 y2 hyperbola − =1 a2 b2 parabola y = ax2 or x = by2 A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in three variables. The most general such equation is Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + Dxy + Exz + F yz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J =0, where A, B, C, ..., J are constants. By translation and rotation the equation can be brought into one of two standard forms Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0 or Ax2 + By2 + Iz =0 In order to sketch the graph of a quadric surface, it is useful to determine the curves of intersection of the surface with planes parallel to the coordinate planes. These curves are called traces of the surface. Ellipsoids The quadric surface with equation x2 y2 z2 + + =1 a2 b2 c2 is called an ellipsoid because all of its traces are ellipses. 2 1 x y 3 2 1 z ±1 ±2 ±3 ±1 ±2 The six intercepts of the ellipsoid are (±a, 0, 0), (0, ±b, 0), and (0, 0, ±c) and the ellipsoid lies in the box |x| ≤ a, |y| ≤ b, |z| ≤ c Since the ellipsoid involves only even powers of x, y, and z, the ellipsoid is symmetric with respect to each coordinate plane.

The perfor- mance and reliability of the ambiguity resolution process are being hampered by the current culmination (Y2000) of the eleven-year solar cycle. The traditional approach to mitigate the high ionospheric effect has been either to reduce the inter-station separation or to form ionosphere-free observables. Neither is satisfactory: the first restricts the operating range, and the second no longer possesses the ”integerness” of the ambiguities. A third generalized approach is introduced herein, whereby the zero ionosphere weight constraint, or pseudo-observables, with an appropriate weight is added to the Kalman Filter algorithm. The weight can be tightly fixed yielding the model equivalence of an independent L1/L2 dual-band model. At the other extreme, an infinite floated weight gives the equivalence of an ionosphere-free model, yet perserves the ambiguity integerness. A stochastically tuned, or weighted, model provides a compromise between the two ex- tremes. The reliability of ambiguity estimates relies on many factors, including an accurate functional model, a realistic stochastic model, and a subsequent efficient integer search algorithm.

  • Geomatics Guidance Note 3
    Geomatics Guidance Note 3 Contract area description Revision history Version Date Amendments 5.1 December 2014 Revised to improve clarity. Heading changed to ‘Geomatics’. 4 April 2006 References to EPSG updated. 3 April 2002 Revised to conform to ISO19111 terminology. 2 November 1997 1 November 1995 First issued. 1. Introduction Contract Areas and Licence Block Boundaries have often been inadequately described by both licensing authorities and licence operators. Overlaps of and unlicensed slivers between adjacent licences may then occur. This has caused problems between operators and between licence authorities and operators at both the acquisition and the development phases of projects. This Guidance Note sets out a procedure for describing boundaries which, if followed for new contract areas world-wide, will alleviate the problems. This Guidance Note is intended to be useful to three specific groups: 1. Exploration managers and lawyers in hydrocarbon exploration companies who negotiate for licence acreage but who may have limited geodetic awareness 2. Geomatics professionals in hydrocarbon exploration and development companies, for whom the guidelines may serve as a useful summary of accepted best practice 3. Licensing authorities. The guidance is intended to apply to both onshore and offshore areas. This Guidance Note does not attempt to cover every aspect of licence boundary definition. In the interests of producing a concise document that may be as easily understood by the layman as well as the specialist, definitions which are adequate for most licences have been covered. Complex licence boundaries especially those following river features need specialist advice from both the survey and the legal professions and are beyond the scope of this Guidance Note.

  • Chapter 7 Mapping The
    BASICS OF RADIO ASTRONOMY Chapter 7 Mapping the Sky Objectives: When you have completed this chapter, you will be able to describe the terrestrial coordinate system; define and describe the relationship among the terms com- monly used in the “horizon” coordinate system, the “equatorial” coordinate system, the “ecliptic” coordinate system, and the “galactic” coordinate system; and describe the difference between an azimuth-elevation antenna and hour angle-declination antenna. In order to explore the universe, coordinates must be developed to consistently identify the locations of the observer and of the objects being observed in the sky. Because space is observed from Earth, Earth’s coordinate system must be established before space can be mapped. Earth rotates on its axis daily and revolves around the sun annually. These two facts have greatly complicated the history of observing space. However, once known, accu- rate maps of Earth could be made using stars as reference points, since most of the stars’ angular movements in relationship to each other are not readily noticeable during a human lifetime. Although the stars do move with respect to each other, this movement is observable for only a few close stars, using instruments and techniques of great precision and sensitivity. Earth’s Coordinate System A great circle is an imaginary circle on the surface of a sphere whose center is at the center of the sphere. The equator is a great circle. Great circles that pass through both the north and south poles are called meridians, or lines of longitude. For any point on the surface of Earth a meridian can be defined.

The integrity definition and calculation method of BDS-3 are introduced. The fault tree model for satellite signal-in-space (SIS) is used, to decompose and obtain the integrity risk bottom events. In response to the weakness in the space and ground segments of the system, a variety of integrity monitoring measures have been taken. On this basis, the design values for the new B1C/B2a signal and the original B1I signal are proposed, which are 0.9 × 10−5 and 0.8 × 10−5, respectively.
