Therefore, the electromagnetic signals transmitted from the navigation and communication satellites can be distorted based on AGWs propagating to upper atmosphere height and then disturbing the ionosphere. In this work, total electron content (TEC) was derived from dense Hubei continuously operating reference stations (HBCORS) to detect the potential ionospheric disturbance associated with a severe thunderstorm that hit Wuhan city on March 2, 2018. TEC values were examined under meticulous observation for the space weather indices. Furthermore, a de-trending algorithm, the so-called numerical divergence by multiple intervals, was applied to TEC sequences to detect the ionospheric disturbance due to the event. The slant TEC (STEC) variations near the thunderstorm area had a higher amplitude content than those that were away from it. The STEC deviations (dTEC) have been compared with a non-lighting day. Our findings indicated that the dTEC was insignificant compared with the day of the event. Afterwards, regional ionosphere maps (RIMs) were modeled through the HBCORS data around Hubei province. RIMs were employed to analyze the vertical TEC (VTEC) response to the thunderstorm. VTEC responses were detected by a proposed de-trend method so-called differences from the average value. The ionosphere showed a positive response up to 2 TECU, especially in the northern part of Hubei province where the maximum VTEC amplitude variations coincided with the thunderstorm influence. The findings are tentatively interpreted by lightning-induced electric fields and AGWs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48965,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica","volume":"58 4","pages":"553 - 574"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the renaissance of lunar missions, it seems worthwhile to define an ellipsoid of revolution that better fits the selenoid.

In our work, we used the GRGM 1200A Lunar Geoid (Goossens et al. in A global degree and order 1200 model of the lunar gravity field using GRAIL mission data.

Samples were taken from the potential surface along a mesh that represents equal area pieces of the surface, using a Fibonacci sphere. We tried Fibonacci spheres with several numbers of points and also separately examined the effect of rotating the network for a given number of points on the estimated parameters. We estimated the best-fitting rotation ellipsoid’s semi-major axis and flatness data by minimizing the selenoid undulation values at the network points, which were obtained for a = 1,737,576.6 m and f = 0.000305. This parameter pair is already obtained for a 10,000 point grid, while the case of reducing the points of the mesh to 3000 does not cause a deviation in the axis data of more than 10 cm. As expected, the absolute value of the selenoid undulations have decreased compared to the values taken with respect to the spherical basal surface, but significant extreme values still remained as well.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48965,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica","volume":"58 2","pages":"139 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40328-023-00415-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5047866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequent occurrence of occlusion and diffraction errors in satellite signals caused by high-rise buildings has emerged as a primary challenge that constrains the accuracy of positioning in deformation monitoring by BeiDou Navigation Satellite (BDS). To solve the problems, this study proposes an elevation mask angle modeling method of satellite signal occlusion based on azimuth rounding and applies it to real-time BDS building deformation monitoring and positioning algorithm. The proposed approach involves defining a particular subset of integer azimuth and elevation angles, followed by utilizing the minimum elevation angle from this subset to develop a model for the azimuth-dependent elevation mask angle. We aimed to develop an elevation angle mask model using a conventional approach, and the model can be utilized to focus on non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath signals and attenuate their impact on positioning accuracy by reducing their weight. The experimental results show that the elevation angle mask model can be easily completed by using the observation data of BDS satellites in a single day, and its use can make the number of effective satellites involved in the calculation of real-time deformation monitoring of BDS more accurate and reliable. The root mean square (RMS) of positioning results including float solutions was increased respectively by 91.1%, 93.3%, and 72.7% in the direction of East-North-Up (ENU), and the RMS of results with fixed ambiguity was increased by 6.9%, 10.0%, and 29.5%, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the elevation mask angle modeling algorithm is convenient to realize and can significantly improve the performance of deformation monitoring results by BDS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48965,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica","volume":"58 2","pages":"273 - 283"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5047883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
