Calibration errors in determining slant Total Electron Content (TEC) from multi-GNSS data

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is presently a powerful tool for sensing the Earth's ionosphere. For this purpose, the ionospheric measurements (IMs), which are by definition slant total electron content biased by satellite and receiver differential code biases (DCBs), need to be first extracted from GNSS data and then used as inputs for further ionospheric representations such as tomography. By using the customary phase-to-code leveling procedure, this research comparatively evaluates the calibration errors on experimental IMs obtained from three GNSS, namely the US Global Positioning System (GPS), the Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), and the European Galileo. On the basis of ten days of dual-frequency, triple-GNSS observations collected from eight co-located ground receivers that independently form short-baselines and zero-baselines, the IMs are determined for each receiver for all tracked satellites and then for each satellite differenced for each baseline to evaluate their calibration errors. As first derived from the short-baseline analysis, the effects of calibration errors on IMs range, in total electron content units, from 1.58 to 2.16, 0.70 to 1.87, and 1.13 to 1.56 for GPS, Galileo, and BDS, respectively. Additionally, for short-baseline experiment, it is shown that the code multipath effect accounts for their main budget. Sidereal periodicity is found in single-differenced (SD) IMs for GPS and BDS geostationary satellites, and the correlation of SD IMs over two consecutive days achieves the maximum value when the time tag is around 4?min. Moreover, as byproducts of zero-baseline analysis, daily between-receiver DCBs for GPS are subject to more significant intra-day variations than those for BDS and Galileo.     

Extending multipath hemispherical model to account for time-varying receiver code biases

Multipath effects on code observables account for one of the major error sources in high-accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS)-based positioning, atmosphere sounding and timing applications. The multipath hemispherical model (MHM) represents one of the most widely used methods of mitigating code multipath effects by taking advantage of their spatial repeatability. The use of MHM usually assumes that the receiver code biases (RCBs) are time-invariant; however, this assumption is not always valid, as RCBs and linear combinations thereof (differential code biases, for instance) have long been found to be time-varying over a period of one day. In this contribution, we propose an extended multipath hemispherical model (EMHM) that is capable of mitigating the code multipath effects in the presence of time-varying RCBs. Consequently, the proposed EMHM has two advantages. First, the EMHM gives rise to code multipath corrections with improved reliability because it addresses the intraday variability of RCBs. Second, more interestingly, the EMHM allows easy and effective calibration of short-term temporal variations, if any, in the RCB on each frequency. These advantages are hopeful to benefit GPS code-related applications.

A novel range-Doppler imaging algorithm with OFDM radar

Traditional pulse Doppler radar estimates the Doppler frequency by taking advantage of Doppler modulation over different pulses and usually it requires a few pulses to estimate the Doppler frequency. In this paper, a novel range-Doppler imaging algorithm based on single pulse with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) radar is proposed, where the OFDM pulse is composed of phase coded symbols. The Doppler frequency is estimated using one single pulse by utilizing Doppler modulation over different symbols, which remarkably increases the data update rate. Besides, it is shown that the range and Doppler estimations are completely independent and the well-known range-Doppler coupling effect does not exist. The effects of target movement on the performances of the proposed algorithm are also discussed and the results show that the algorithm is not sensitive to velocity. Performances of the proposed algorithm as well as comparisons with other range-Doppler algorithms are demonstrated via simulation experiments.

Numerical integration of stochastic differential equations: A parallel cosmic ray modulation implementation on Africa’s fastest computer

Three-dimensional studies of the transport and modulation of cosmic ray particles in turbulent astrospheres require large-scale simulations using specialized scientific codes. Essentially, a multi-dimensional Fokker-Planck type equation (a parabolic diffusion equation) must be integrated numerically. One such approach is to convert the relevant transport equation into a set of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), with the latter much easier to handle numerically. Due to the growing demand for high performance computing resources, research into the application of effective and suitable numerical algorithms to solve such equations is needed. We present a case study of the performance of a custom-written FORTRAN SDE numerical solver on the CHPC (Centre for High Performance Computing) Lengau cluster in South Africa for a realistic test problem with different set-ups. It is shown that SDE codes can scale very well on large parallel computing platforms. Finally, we consider an extremely computationally expensive application of the SDE approach to cosmic ray modulation, studying the behaviour of galactic cosmic ray proton latitude gradients and relative amplitudes in a physics-first manner. This is done using a modulation code that employs diffusion coefficients derived from first principles, which in turn are functions of turbulence quantities in reasonable agreement with spacecraft observations and modelled using a two-component turbulence transport model (TTM). We show that this approach leads to reduced latitude gradients qualitatively in line with spacecraft observations of the same, without making ad hoc assumptions as to anisotropic perpendicular diffusion coefficients as are often made in many cosmic ray modulation studies.
