    Beschreibung: Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) intensive (INT) sessions are critical for the rapid determination and densification of Universal Time 1‐Coordinate Universal Time (UT1‐UTC), which plays an important role in satellite geodesy and space exploration missions and is not predictable over longer time scales. Due to the limited observation geometry of INT sessions with two to three stations observing about 1 hr, tropospheric gradients cannot be estimated, which degrades the UT1‐UTC precision. We investigate the impact of tropospheric ties at Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) and VLBI co‐located stations in INT sessions from 2001 to 2021. VLBI and GNSS observations are combined on the observation level. The results are evaluated by using both UT1‐UTC and Length of Day (LOD) from consecutive sessions. We demonstrate a better agreement of 10%–30% when comparing the derived LOD to GNSS LOD for INT1, INT2, and VGOS‐2 sessions; whereas, the agreement is not improved when directly comparing UT1‐UTC to the IERS Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) product, potentially because INT sessions also contribute to IERS EOP products. The major impact comes from tropospheric gradient ties, whereas applying zenith delay ties does not improve or even deteriorate UT1‐UTC agreement. Gradient ties also introduce systematic biases in UT1‐UTC by around −3 to −5 μs, except for the Russian INT sessions. Regression analysis shows that the east gradient introduces systematic effects in UT1‐UTC for sessions involving Germany and USA (Hawaii), whereas for Germany–Japan and Russian sessions, the north gradient also contributes systematically.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Universal Time 1‐Coordinate Universal Time (UT1‐UTC) gives the time difference of UT1, defined by Earth's rotation, and UTC, defined by atomic clocks. UT1‐UTC is essential for real‐time navigation and space exploration. The variation of the first‐order negative time derivative of UT1‐UTC, Length of Day (LOD), is induced by mass redistribution, including tides of the solid Earth and oceans, the liquid core of the Earth and atmospheric variation, and climate events such as El Niño. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observing active galactic nuclei is the only space geodetic technique that can determine UT1‐UTC unambiguously. The 1‐hr intensive (INT) sessions, designed for the rapid determination and densification of UT1‐UTC, are performed daily with two VLBI radio telescopes. Due to the limited observation geometry, tropospheric gradients cannot be modeled in INT sessions, deteriorating UT1‐UTC estimates. We demonstrate an improvement of 10%–30% in LOD by applying tropospheric ties at VLBI and Global Navigation Satellite Systems co‐locations, especially the tropospheric gradients ties. Tropospheric gradient ties also introduce a systematic effect of −3 to −5 μs on UT1‐UTC, especially the east gradient. Our study shows that tropospheric ties should be adopted in future VLBI analysis for optimal UT1‐UTC products.
    Beschreibung: Key Points: Tropospheric ties are applied in a Global Navigation Satellite System–Very Long Baseline Interferometry (GNSS–VLBI) integrated solution analyzing VLBI intensive (INT) sessions from 2001 to 2021. Length of Day (LOD) of IVS INT sessions shows a better agreement by 10%–30% when compared to GNSS LOD product, mainly due to gradient ties. Gradient ties, especially the east one, introduce systematic biases of −3 to −5 μs in Universal Time 1‐Coordinate Universal Time of IVS INT sessions.

    Beschreibung: Along with the rapid development of GNSS, not only BeiDou, but also Galileo, and the newly launched GPS satellites can provide signals on three frequencies at present. To fully take advantage of the multi-frequency multi-system GNSS observations on precise point positioning (PPP) technology, this study aims to implement the triple-frequency ambiguity resolution (AR) for GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 combined PPP using the raw observation model. The processing of inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) estimation and correction in the context of triple-frequency PPP AR has been addressed, with which the triple-frequency uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation is realized for real GPS observations for the first time. In addition, the GPS extra-wide-line UPD quality is significantly improved with the IFCB correction. Because of not being contaminated by the IFCB, the raw UPD estimation method is directly employed for Galileo which currently has 24 satellites in operation. An interesting phenomenon is found that all Galileo satellites except E24 have a zero extra-wide-lane UPD value. With the multi-GNSS observations provided by MGEX covering 15 days, the positioning solutions of GPS + Galileo + BeiDou triple-frequency PPP AR have been conducted and analyzed. The triple-frequency kinematic GNSS PPP AR can achieve an averaged 3D positioning error of 2.2 cm, and an averaged convergence time of 10.8 min. The average convergence time can be reduced by triple-frequency GNSS PPP AR by 15.6% compared with dual-frequency GNSS PPP AR, respectively. However, the additional third frequency has only a marginal contribution to positioning accuracy after convergence.

    Beschreibung: Wide-lane (WL) uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) is usually derived from Melbourne–Wübbena (MW) linear combination and is a prerequisite in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution (AR). MW is a linear combination of pseudorange and phase, and the accuracy is limited by the larger pseudorange noise which is about one hundred times of the carrier phase noise. However, there exist inconsistent pseudorange biases which may have detrimental effect on the WL UPD estimation, and further degrade user-side ambiguity fixing. Currently, only the large part of pseudorange biases, e.g., the differential code bias (DCB), are available and corrected in PPP-AR, while the receiver-type-dependent biases have not yet been considered. Ignoring such kind of bias, which could be up to 20 cm, will cause the ambiguity fixing failure, or even worse, the incorrect ambiguity fixing. In this study, we demonstrate the receiver-type-dependent WL UPD biases and investigate their temporal and spatial stability, and further propose the method to precisely estimate these biases and apply the corrections to improve the user-side PPP-AR. Using a large data set of 1560 GNSS stations during a 30-day period, we demonstrate that the WL UPD deviations among different types of receivers can reach ± 0.3 cycles. It is also shown that such kind of deviations can be calibrated with a precision of about 0.03 cycles for all Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. On the user side, ignoring the receiver-dependent UPD deviation can cause significant positioning error up to 10 cm. By correcting the deviations, the positioning performance can be improved by up to 50%, and the fixing rate can also be improved by 10%. This study demonstrates that for the precise and reliable PPP-AR, the receiver-dependent UPD deviations cannot be ignored and have to be handled.

    Beschreibung: The precise orbit determination (POD) of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites and low Earth orbiters (LEOs) are usually performed independently. It is a potential way to improve the GNSS orbits by integrating LEOs onboard observations into the processing, especially for the developing GNSS, e.g., Galileo with a sparse sensor station network and Beidou with a regional distributed operating network. In recent years, few studies combined the processing of ground- and space-based GNSS observations. The integrated POD of GPS satellites and seven LEOs, including GRACE-A/B, OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-3 and, Swarm-A/B/C, is discussed in this study. GPS code and phase observations obtained by onboard GPS receivers of LEOs and ground-based receivers of the International GNSS Service (IGS) tracking network are used together in one least-squares adjustment. The POD solutions of the integrated processing with different subsets of LEOs and ground stations are analyzed in detail. The derived GPS satellite orbits are validated by comparing with the official IGS products and internal comparison based on the differences of overlapping orbits and satellite positions at the day-boundary epoch. The differences between the GPS satellite orbits derived based on a 26-station network and the official IGS products decrease from 37.5 to 23.9 mm (34% improvement) in 1D-mean RMS when adding seven LEOs. Both the number of the space-based observations and the LEO orbit geometry affect the GPS satellite orbits derived in the integrated processing. In this study, the latter one is proved to be more critical. By including three LEOs in three different orbital planes, the GPS satellite orbits improve more than from adding seven well-selected additional stations to the network. Experiments with a ten-station and regional network show an improvement of the GPS satellite orbits from about 25 cm to less than five centimeters in 1D-mean RMS after integrating the seven LEOs.
