12 REPORT OF THE GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA ANALYSISCENTER (GAU)Ramesh GOVIND (1)(1) Geoscience Australia, Canberra, Australia.The main <strong>DORIS</strong> analysis <strong>activity</strong> during <strong>2011</strong> was to contribute weekly multi-satelliteSINEX solution to the <strong>IDS</strong> Combination Centre; solutions for all of <strong>2011</strong> were submitted.The solutions up to the end of 7-day arc beginning 15 th May <strong>2011</strong> (gau11135wd09) comprised<strong>DORIS</strong> data from SPOT-4, SPOT-5, Envisat and Jason-2. Further, these solutions were basedon apriori coordinates and Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) ITRF2005 and IERS C04-05,respectively. Since the arc beginning 22 nd May <strong>2011</strong> (gau11142wd10), Cryosat-2 <strong>DORIS</strong>data has been included and the apriori coordinates and EOP were based on ITRF2008(supplemented by DPOD2008 with discontinuities) and IERS C04-08, respectively. Thiscontribution was <strong>report</strong>ed in AGU poster (Moreaux et al, <strong>2011</strong>).The <strong>DORIS</strong> determined orbits for Envisat, Jason-2 and Cryosat-2 are continually assessedwith respect to the observed SLR data for the respective satellites.The <strong>IDS</strong> analysis <strong>activity</strong> at Geoscience Australia is undertaken in collaboration with theGSFC Analysis centre – making orbit comparisons. In addition, results of non-conservativeforce modelling (General Acceleration – one-per-rev along and cross-track amplitude) for allsatellites during 2010 were submitted to GSFC and compared for consistency.47
