Totally 50 EPN stationsconcentrated <strong>to</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn Europe areprocessed with <strong>the</strong> Bernese GPSs<strong>of</strong>tware version 5.0, see Figure 1.1.This means that eight stations havebeen added <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>NKG</strong> EPN LAC subnetworksince <strong>the</strong> last <strong>NKG</strong> <strong>General</strong>Assembly four years ago. Both weeklyand daily solutions based on final IGS 9products are processed. Lantmäteriethas also represented <strong>NKG</strong> at <strong>the</strong> fifth,and sixth EUREF 10 LACs Workshops,which were held in 2006 and 2008. Thisis also <strong>the</strong> plan for <strong>the</strong> seventhworkshop in autumn 2010.The <strong>NKG</strong> EPN LAC will also contribute<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> EPN reprocessing with solutionsbased on both <strong>the</strong> Bernese GPSS<strong>of</strong>tware and GAMIT. Bernesesolutions for <strong>the</strong> pilot reprocessing <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> year 2006 have been processedduring 2009/2010.1.2.3 EGNOS 11The EGNOS RIMS 12 that wasinaugurated at Lantmäteriet in Gävlealready during 2003 has beensuccessfully supported by Lantmäterietsince <strong>the</strong>n.1.2.4 Swedish Radio Navigation PlanThe Swedish Radio Navigation Plan <strong>of</strong>2009 is published by <strong>the</strong> SwedishMaritime Administration.

Themajor purpose was both <strong>to</strong> exchangedata between <strong>the</strong> networks <strong>of</strong>permanent reference stations inDenmark, Norway and <strong>Sweden</strong> and <strong>to</strong>establish common positioning services.The project also implied exchange <strong>of</strong>knowledge in <strong>the</strong> fields <strong>of</strong> operationand applications <strong>of</strong> networks <strong>of</strong>permanent reference stations.Figure 1.1: The <strong>NKG</strong> EPN LAC subnetwork<strong>of</strong> 50 permanent GNSS stations.1.3 Network <strong>of</strong> permanentreference stations (SWEPOS)SWEPOS is <strong>the</strong> Swedish network <strong>of</strong>permanent GNSS stations (Jämtnäs etal., 2010), see www.swepos.com.The purposes <strong>of</strong> SWEPOS are <strong>to</strong>:- Provide single- and dual-frequencydata for relative GNSS measurements.9IGS = International GNSS Service10EUREF = <strong>the</strong> IAG Reference Frame Subcommission forEuropeIAG = International Association <strong>of</strong> Geodesy11EGNOS = European Geostationary Navigation OverlaySystem12RIMS = Ranging and Integrity Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Station

The system includes fourdifferent classes; A, B, C and D, whereclass A is <strong>the</strong> class with <strong>the</strong> highestdemands and <strong>the</strong> system was adoptedby Lantmäteriet in 2007.Today (September 2010) SWEPOSconsists <strong>of</strong> <strong>to</strong>tally 195 stations, 37 classA stations and 158 class B ones, seeFigures 1.2 and 1.3.Figure 1.3: Söderboda is a SWEPOSstation with a ro<strong>of</strong>-mounted GNSS antennamainly established for network RTKpurposes belonging <strong>to</strong> class B.This means that <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal number <strong>of</strong>SWEPOS stations has increased with 90stations since <strong>the</strong> last <strong>NKG</strong> <strong>General</strong>Assembly, see Figures 1.4 and 1.5.The class A stations are built onbedrock and have redundantequipment for GNSS observations,communications, power supply, etc.They have also been connected byprecise levelling <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> national preciselevelling network.Class B stations are mainly establishedon <strong>to</strong>p <strong>of</strong> buildings for network RTKpurposes. They have <strong>the</strong> sameinstrumentation as class A stations(dual-frequency GPS/GLONASSreceivers with antennas <strong>of</strong> DorneMargolin design), but with somewhatless redundancy.Figure 1.2: Överkalix is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>SWEPOS stations belonging <strong>to</strong> class A.13DGPS = Differential GPS14DGNSS = Differential GNSS


4An antenna calibration field wasestablished in April 2007 on <strong>the</strong> ro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> headquarters <strong>of</strong> Lantmäteriet inGävle, primarily for testing andcalibration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> antennas used inSWEPOS. All new, re-built orproblematic antennas in <strong>the</strong> SWEPOSnetwork are tested on <strong>the</strong> test field.Figure 1.4: The SWEPOS network by <strong>the</strong>time for <strong>the</strong> last <strong>NKG</strong> <strong>General</strong> Assembly in2006. Orange dots are stations that werebuilt after <strong>the</strong> meeting during <strong>the</strong> summer2006.Seven SWEPOS stations are included inEPN. These stations are Onsala,Mårtsbo, Visby, Borås, Skellefteå,Vilhelmina and Kiruna (ONSA, MAR6,VIS0, SPT0, SKE0, VIL0 and KIR0).Daily, hourly and real-time (EUREF-IP)data (1 second) are delivered for allstations, except for Vilhelmina, wherejust daily and hourly files aresubmitted.Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, Onsala, Mårtsbo, Visby,Borås and Kiruna are included in <strong>the</strong>IGS network and two stations(Skellefteå and S<strong>to</strong>ckholm) areproposed <strong>to</strong> be included.<strong>Sweden</strong> has also, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinationwithin <strong>NKG</strong>, <strong>of</strong>fered allseven Swedish EPN stations exceptVilhelmina for ECGN 15 .

Itstarted already in 1995 and <strong>the</strong> workwas financed by a group <strong>of</strong> nationalagencies. The principal aim was <strong>to</strong>connect local coordinate systems <strong>to</strong>both <strong>the</strong> national reference frameSWEREF 99 and <strong>the</strong> old horizontalreference frame that SWEREF 99 hasreplaced, which is called RT 90.Ano<strong>the</strong>r aim was <strong>to</strong> establish newpoints easily accessible for local GNSSmeasurements.The outcome <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project is 9029control points determined inSWEREF 99 and o<strong>the</strong>r existing national Figure 1.6: The 9029 control pointsreference frames, see Figure 1.6.

Thetransformation parameters obtainedfrom RIX 95 <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with correctionmodels based on new GNSSmeasurements are used for thispurpose. The rectification is made by aso-called rubber sheeting algorithm and<strong>the</strong> result will be that all geographicaldata are positioned in a homogenousreference frame, <strong>the</strong> nationalSWEREF 99.Figure 1.7: The approximately 300 socalledSWEREF points from <strong>the</strong> RIX 95project.A formal decision regarding mapprojections for SWEREF 99 for bothnational mapping and local surveyingwas taken in 2003. All <strong>the</strong> projectionsare <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Transverse Merca<strong>to</strong>r type. InJanuary 2007, Lantmäteriet replacedRT 90 with SWEREF 99 (and <strong>the</strong>national map projection calledSWEREF 99 TM) in all databases andproduct lines. A new map sheetdivision and a new index system werealso adopted.The work regarding <strong>the</strong>implementation <strong>of</strong> SWEREF 99 amongo<strong>the</strong>r authorities in <strong>Sweden</strong>, such aslocal ones, is in progress (Kempe et al.,2010). 87 % <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 290 Swedishmunicipalities have started <strong>the</strong> process<strong>to</strong> replace <strong>the</strong>ir old reference frameswith SWEREF 99. The number <strong>of</strong>1.7 Implementation <strong>of</strong> RH 2000The national height system RH 2000 isbased on <strong>the</strong> third precise levelling <strong>of</strong><strong>Sweden</strong> that lasted 1978-2003. The finaladjustment was done in 2005. The landuplift model used called <strong>NKG</strong>2005LUwas adopted as a Nordic model by<strong>NKG</strong> in 2006. The model is based on acombination and modification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ma<strong>the</strong>matical model <strong>of</strong> Olav Vestøl and<strong>the</strong> geophysical model <strong>of</strong> Lambeck,Smi<strong>the</strong>r and Ekman (Ågren &Svensson, 2007). The network consists<strong>of</strong> about 50,000 bench marks,representing roughly 50,000 km doublerun precise levelling measured bymo<strong>to</strong>rised levelling technique.However, <strong>the</strong> third precise levellingcontinued on <strong>the</strong> island <strong>of</strong> Gotland in2007. These observations were adjustedand connected <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> mainland inRH 2000 in 2008 through a combination<strong>of</strong> tide gauge and GNSS/levellingobservations, complemented bygeoid/oceanographic models.


8Since <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1990’s, asystematic inven<strong>to</strong>ry/updating <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>network is continuously performed.The work with implementing RH 2000among o<strong>the</strong>r authorities in <strong>Sweden</strong> is inprogress. 106 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 290 Swedishmunicipalities have, in co-operationwith Lantmäteriet, started <strong>the</strong> process<strong>of</strong> analysing <strong>the</strong>ir local networks, with<strong>the</strong> aim <strong>to</strong> replace <strong>the</strong> local heightsystems with RH 2000. So far, 33municipalities have finalised <strong>the</strong>replacement for all activities, which is29 more than by <strong>the</strong> time for <strong>the</strong> last<strong>NKG</strong> <strong>General</strong> Assembly four years ago.1.8 Geoid modelsThe national Swedish geoid model,SWEN08_RH2000 was released in <strong>the</strong>beginning <strong>of</strong> 2009. It has beencomputed by adapting <strong>the</strong> Swedishgravimetric model KTH08 <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>reference systems SWEREF 99 andRH 2000 by utilising a large number <strong>of</strong>geometrically determined geoidheights, computed as <strong>the</strong> differencebetween heights above <strong>the</strong> ellipsoiddetermined by GNSS and levellednormal heights above sea level. In thisstep, a correction has been applied for<strong>the</strong> postglacial land uplift and fordifferences in permanent tide systems.A smooth residual surface is used <strong>to</strong>model <strong>the</strong> GNSS/levelling residuals(residual interpolation).The standard uncertainty <strong>of</strong>SWEN08_RH2000 has been estimated<strong>to</strong> 10-15 mm everywhere on <strong>the</strong>Swedish mainland with <strong>the</strong> exception<strong>of</strong> a small area in <strong>the</strong> north-west notcovered by <strong>the</strong> third precise levelling,see Figure 1.8. The standarduncertainty is larger in <strong>the</strong> latter areaand at sea, probably around 5-10 cm.706968676665646362616059585756555410 12 14 16 18 20 22 240.0480.0460.0440.0420.040.0380.0360.0340.0320.030.0280.0260.0240.0220.020.0180.0160.0140.0120.010.008Figure 1.8: Expected accuracy (standarduncertainty) for <strong>the</strong> geoid modelSWEN08_RH2000 (metre).The underlying gravimetric model,KTH08, has been computed by <strong>the</strong>technique called LSMSA 23 . This workhas been made in co-operation withPr<strong>of</strong>essor Sjöberg and his group atKTH 24 in S<strong>to</strong>ckholm (Ågren et al., 2009).Ano<strong>the</strong>r geoid related activity during<strong>the</strong> last four years has been <strong>the</strong>evaluation <strong>of</strong> EGM 2008 25 (Ågren, 2009).Presently Lantmäteriet investigateswhat is required <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national gravitysystem and gravity data <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong>compute a more accurate geoid model23LSMSA = Least Squares Modification <strong>of</strong> S<strong>to</strong>kes Formulawith Additive Corrections24KTH = Royal Institute <strong>of</strong> Technology (Kungliga TekniskaHögskolan), S<strong>to</strong>ckholm25EGM2008 = Earth Gravitational Model 2008


9Lantmäteriet has since 2007 madein <strong>the</strong> future (with standard uncertainty26GIA = Glacial Isostatic Adjustment<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> order 5 mm). Two preliminaryconclusions from this ongoing project(not yet published) are that a newgravity system is needed and that 5 kmresolution is sufficient for <strong>the</strong> detailgravity. Besides, a significant amount <strong>of</strong>new observations are required and <strong>the</strong>absolute observations with <strong>the</strong> newinstrument on 12 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Swedish sites,but also on 1 Danish site, 1 Finnish site,2 Norwegian sites, 3 Serbian sites andat two inter-comparisons (one with 19o<strong>the</strong>r gravimeters in Luxembourg andone with 22 o<strong>the</strong>r gravimeters in Paris).old data need <strong>to</strong> be checked andupdated in various ways.All Swedish sites are co-located withpermanent reference stations for GNSSin <strong>the</strong> SWEPOS network (except for1.9 GravimetryGöteborg which is no longer in use).The number <strong>of</strong> Swedish sites whereOnsala is also co-located with VLBI 27 .absolute gravity observations haveSkellefteå, Smögen, and Visby are colocatedwith tide gauges.been carried out has increased from 11<strong>to</strong> 14 sites since <strong>the</strong> last <strong>NKG</strong> <strong>General</strong> The absolute gravity observations areAssembly, see Figure 1.10.co-ordinated within <strong>NKG</strong>, andIn <strong>the</strong> autumn <strong>of</strong> 2006, Lantmäterie<strong>to</strong>bservations have also been performedpurchased a new absolute gravimeterby several groups (BKG 28 , IfE 29 , UMB 30(Micro-g Lacoste FG 5 - 233), see Figureand FGI 31 ) <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with Lantmäteriet.1.9.

10Research regarding <strong>the</strong> 3D geometricdeformation is foremost done within<strong>the</strong> BIFROST effort. Reprocessing <strong>of</strong> allobservations from continuouslyoperating GPS stations since autumn1993 up <strong>to</strong> autumn 2006 has been done(Lidberg, 2007, Lidberg et al., 2007 andLidberg et al., 2010). The results agreewith an updated geophysical,meaningful GIA model at <strong>the</strong> submm/yrlevel.Figure 1.10: Absolute gravity sites in<strong>Sweden</strong> (red squares), planned new site(yellow diamond) and sites in neighbouringcountries (grey circles). Sites observedevery year since 2003 have a green circle asbackground <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> red square.At Onsala Space Observa<strong>to</strong>ry, a superconductinggravimeter was installedduring <strong>the</strong> summer 2009, see Section3.3.1.10 GeodynamicsThe main purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> repeatedabsolute gravity observations is <strong>to</strong>support <strong>the</strong> understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>physical mechanisms behind <strong>the</strong>Fennoscandian GIA process, where <strong>the</strong>relation between gravity change andgeometric deformation is a primaryparameter.A coordinate transformation schemehas been developed for high-precisionsurvey applications using GNSSrelative permanent reference stations.Internal deformations are accounted forin <strong>the</strong> scheme.

Geodetic activities at KTH,<strong>the</strong> Royal Institute <strong>of</strong>Technology2.1 IntroductionThe Division <strong>of</strong> Geodesy at <strong>the</strong> RoyalInstitute <strong>of</strong> Technology (KTH) inS<strong>to</strong>ckholm <strong>of</strong>fers graduate andpostgraduate education as well asperforms research in geodesy andsurveying. Below we summarize <strong>the</strong>seactivities for <strong>the</strong> period 2006-2010.2.2 Graduate programmeGeodesy courses have been taught as apart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Geomatics Engineeringspecialization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MSc programme“Samhällsbyggnad”(BuiltEnvironment). The number <strong>of</strong> studentsattending <strong>the</strong>se courses varies greatlyfrom 3 <strong>to</strong> about 25. The followingcourses have been given during <strong>the</strong>period 2006-2010:- Geodetic surveying- Analysis <strong>of</strong> measurements (Theory<strong>of</strong> errors)- Map projections- Reference systems- Satellite positioning with GPS- Physical geodesy- Integrated navigation- Engineering surveyingSince autumn 2007 <strong>the</strong>re is also a 2-yearinternational master programme“Geodesy and Geoinformatics” withseveral courses co-ordinated with <strong>the</strong>previous programme. About 20students from Europe, Asia, Africa andLatin America, are recruited each year.During <strong>the</strong> report period, staffmembers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Division <strong>of</strong> Geodesyhave participated in 4 European UnionTempus projects which lead <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>establishment <strong>of</strong> 4 new universityprogrammes in geodesy and GIS 35 forModolva, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan andTajikistan, respectively.2.3 Postgraduate programmeSince 2006 five postgraduate studentshave successfully defended <strong>the</strong>ir Ph.D.<strong>the</strong>ses in <strong>the</strong> fields <strong>of</strong> displacementmoni<strong>to</strong>ring using GPS (Andersson,2008), laser scanning (Reshetyuk, 2009),geoid determination (Kiamehr, 2006and Ulotu, 2009) and satellitegradiometry (Eshagh, 2009). For <strong>the</strong>time being <strong>the</strong>re are six activepostgraduate students.2.4 Physical geodesyThis project is a continuation <strong>of</strong> a longtermresearch programme in physicalgeodesy at <strong>the</strong> Royal Institute <strong>of</strong>Technology (KTH) with <strong>the</strong> overallscientific objective <strong>of</strong> improving <strong>the</strong><strong>the</strong>ory and corrections needed in order<strong>to</strong> compute <strong>the</strong> geoid <strong>to</strong> 1 cm accuracy.35GIS = Geographical Information Systems

The session was chaired byMarkku Poutanen <strong>of</strong> FGI. Pho<strong>to</strong>: ÖrjanZackrisson.The KTH geoid computation technique,called LSMSA 36 , is unique in <strong>the</strong> sensesthat it uses 1) least squares modification<strong>of</strong> S<strong>to</strong>kes formula and 2) adds allcorrections for <strong>to</strong>pography, atmosphereand ellipsoidal effects separately ascombined corrections.Most <strong>of</strong> this development wascompleted during 2006-2010, and <strong>the</strong>method has proved <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> best intests, or at least not worse than anyo<strong>the</strong>r method, among <strong>the</strong>se tests aninternational comparison <strong>of</strong> gravimetricgeoid s<strong>of</strong>tware packages vs. GPSlevellinggeoid models. For references,see Ågren et al. (2008) and (2009), andUlotu (2009).studies dealt with a technique <strong>to</strong>determine <strong>the</strong> geoid and orthometricheights from satellite positioning andgeopotential numbers (Sjöberg 2006a)and refinement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> conversion fromnormal <strong>to</strong> orthometric height (Sjöberg2006b). Also, Sjöberg (2009a) presenteda new method <strong>to</strong> determine Mohodepth by using Vening Meinesz-Moritzhypo<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> a global isostaticcompensation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>pography with aspherical approximation <strong>of</strong> sea level.When computing <strong>the</strong> precise geoid bystandard or modified S<strong>to</strong>kes formula(e.g. <strong>the</strong> RCR-method), <strong>the</strong> correctionfor <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>pographic masses is aconsiderable workload. This job is verysignificantly reduced in <strong>the</strong> LSMSAmethod, where <strong>the</strong> combined<strong>to</strong>pographic correction is reduced <strong>to</strong>that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spherical Bouguercorrection, while <strong>the</strong> additional terraincorrection is eliminated. See Sjöberg(2007a), (2008a), (2009a).The KTH-method, based on LSMSA,has been applied in 3 Master’s <strong>the</strong>sisprojects <strong>to</strong> compute geoid models forGreece (Daras et al. 2008), Sudan andKazakhstan, respectively.Sjöberg and Eshagh (2009) presented anew method for geoid determinationfrom airborne gravity data.

Geodetic activities atChalmers University <strong>of</strong>Technology and OnsalaSpace Observa<strong>to</strong>ryterrestrial reference programme,celestial reference system programme,and <strong>the</strong> European geodetic VLBI series.Additionally, we participated in <strong>the</strong> 14days long continuous campaignCONT08 that produced highest qualitystate-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art VLBI results. Dataanalysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CONT08 sessionrevealed that <strong>the</strong> Onsala station is one<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two stations with bestperformance out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 11 participatingstations worldwide. The CONT08 dataare also an important reference data setfor <strong>the</strong> VLBI2010 simulation work.3.1 IntroductionWe analyse Geodetic VLBI observationsOnsala Space Observa<strong>to</strong>ry is <strong>the</strong><strong>to</strong> derive accurate information aboutSwedish national facility for radioEarth orientation and rotation onastronomy.

The observed sessions arepart <strong>of</strong> IVS’ earth rotation programme, In 2007 we started <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with37IVS= International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometrycolleagues in Finland and Japan <strong>the</strong>Fennoscandian-Japanese ultra-rapid


16dUT1-project. This project aims atproducing low latency earth rotationresults using e-VLBI. Observations arepreformed on extended east-wes<strong>to</strong>riented baselines betweenFennoscandia and Japan. The observeddata from <strong>the</strong> Fennoscandian radiotelescopes are transferred in real-time<strong>to</strong> a Japanese correla<strong>to</strong>r centre andcorrelated in near real-time <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>rwith <strong>the</strong> corresponding observationaldata <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Japanese radio telescopes,and successively analyzed in near realtime<strong>to</strong> produce low latency results onUT1. The current low-latency worldrecord was achieved in 2008 with <strong>the</strong>determination <strong>of</strong> final UT1 resultswithin 4 minutes after <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> a onehour long observation session. Theagreement with <strong>the</strong> final IERS 38 05EOPC04 values proved <strong>to</strong> be on <strong>the</strong>order <strong>of</strong> 30 microseconds. This is on <strong>the</strong>same level as <strong>the</strong> standard IERS rapidsolutions, but with a much lowerlatency. Since 2009 <strong>the</strong> project isextended <strong>to</strong> regular 24 hours IVSsessions.During 2006 <strong>to</strong> 2010 we contributedactively <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong>VLBI2010, <strong>the</strong> next generation geodeticVLBI system, with simulations <strong>of</strong>atmospheric propagation delays and anevaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong>atmospheric turbulence for geodeticVLBI. The simulations are based onturbulence models and aim atproducing realistic propagation delays.Atmospheric turbulence is described byturbulence parameters Cn that can bederived e.g. from high-resolutionradiosonde pr<strong>of</strong>iles. Our work showsthat atmospheric turbulence is animportant limiting fac<strong>to</strong>r for geodetic38IERS= International Earth Rotation and Reference SystemsServiceVLBI <strong>to</strong>day and also for <strong>the</strong> futureVLBI2010 system.Ano<strong>the</strong>r approach <strong>to</strong> address <strong>the</strong> issue<strong>of</strong> atmospheric propagation delays ingeodetic VLBI data analysis is <strong>the</strong> use<strong>of</strong> external information <strong>to</strong> model <strong>the</strong>seeffects. We work on <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> datafrom Numerical Wea<strong>the</strong>r Models(NWM), e.g. <strong>the</strong> data provided by <strong>the</strong>European Centre for Medium-rangeWea<strong>the</strong>r Forecast (ECMWF), <strong>to</strong>calculate line-<strong>of</strong>-sight corrections forgeodetic VLBI data by ray-tracing. Theaim is <strong>to</strong> use <strong>the</strong>se corrections asimproved a priori data for <strong>the</strong> dataanalysis, or as a way <strong>to</strong> calibrate <strong>the</strong>VLBI data. Our focus is on <strong>the</strong>European VLBI data set.In 2009 we started a collaboration with<strong>the</strong> radio telescopes in Medicina andNo<strong>to</strong>, both Italy, and colleagues atMetsähovi (Finland) and JIVE (TheNe<strong>the</strong>rlands) <strong>to</strong> develop a strategy <strong>to</strong>observe GNSS-satelltie signals withVLBI. The idea is <strong>to</strong> do VLBIobservations with GNSS-signals and <strong>to</strong>relate <strong>the</strong>se <strong>to</strong> normal geodeticobservations <strong>of</strong> natural radio sources.This could be a way <strong>to</strong> connect <strong>the</strong>satellite orbits <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> celestial referenceframe and thus a new tie <strong>of</strong> GNSS andVLBI. Several tests were performed andfirst attempts <strong>of</strong> data correlation andanalysis are promising.In 2009 we started a project <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>rwith <strong>the</strong> SP Technical Research Institute<strong>of</strong> <strong>Sweden</strong> <strong>to</strong> evaluate <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>of</strong>geodetic VLBI for time and frequencytransfer. Geodetic collocation sites wi<strong>the</strong>quipment for VLBI and GNSS that areconnected <strong>to</strong> common time andfrequency distribution by H-masers areperfect candidates for time andfrequency transfer experiments. Weused <strong>the</strong> CONT08 data set for a


17comparison and evaluation <strong>of</strong>frequency transfer with VLBI andGNSS. Our results show that geodeticVLBI can reach frequency transferstability <strong>of</strong> 1e-15 during one day, andthat this is in good agreement withGNSS-based techniques.We use <strong>the</strong> global geodetic VLBI dataset <strong>to</strong> derive long time series <strong>of</strong>tropospheric zenith wet delay (ZWD)and atmospheric gradient values. ForOnsala, <strong>the</strong>se time series cover morethan 25 years. The ZWD can beconverted in<strong>to</strong> information on <strong>the</strong>integrated water vapour content(IPWV) and compared <strong>to</strong>independently derived IPWV resultsfrom a ground based microwaveradiometer operated at Onsala andradiosonde observations from <strong>the</strong>Landvetter-Go<strong>the</strong>nburg airport. Figure3.2 shows <strong>the</strong> corresponding timeseries.Figure 3.2: Time series <strong>of</strong> integratedprecipitable water vapor (IPWV) asdetermined from geodetic VLBI dataobserved at Onsala (VLBI, <strong>to</strong>p) microwaveradiometry at Onsala (WVR, middle) andradiosondes at Go<strong>the</strong>nburg-Landvetter (RS,bot<strong>to</strong>m).<strong>the</strong> order <strong>of</strong> 0.4 <strong>to</strong> 0.6 kg/m2 perdecade. However, <strong>the</strong> agreement is notperfect. A major problem in <strong>the</strong>comparison is <strong>the</strong> different sampling <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> three data sets and <strong>the</strong> individualdata gaps. Synchronization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> datasets results in small biases on <strong>the</strong> order<strong>of</strong> 1 kg/m2 and root-mean-square(RMS) differences <strong>of</strong> less than 2 kg/m2,but does not improve <strong>the</strong> agreement <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> trends.3.3 Super-conducting gravimetryOn June 10 2009, a super-conductinggravimeter (SCG, series number GWR-054) was taken in<strong>to</strong> operation at <strong>the</strong>Onsala Space Observa<strong>to</strong>ry. The mainuse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new facility is providing acalibrated gravity station for visitinggroups within absolute gravity projectsaiming e.g. at determining gravitychanges in <strong>the</strong> Nordic countries inconnection with GIA. The newgravimeter station provides us with <strong>the</strong>"third pillar" <strong>of</strong> geodesy, i.e. gravityand geopotential measurement,complementing our contributions <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r two pillars, earth rotation andearth deformation. This developmenthas now raised Onsala <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong> aFundamental Geodetic Station, a corestations for <strong>the</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>International Reference System. Figure3.3. presents <strong>the</strong> gravimeter record forslightly more than one year. Severalexternal research groups with absolutegravimeters have been visiting Onsalasince mid 2009 <strong>to</strong> do parallelmeasurements with <strong>the</strong> newinstrument.The IPWV data derived from <strong>the</strong>individual techniques show highcorrelation with correlation coefficients<strong>of</strong> 0.95 and better. All three techniquesshow positive trends for <strong>the</strong> IPWV on

Theresults show that <strong>the</strong> pair wise rootmean-squareagreement between <strong>the</strong>three independent time series wasbetter than 4 cm, indicating that <strong>the</strong>GNSS-based tide gauge gives valuableresults for sea level moni<strong>to</strong>ring.Figure 3.3: Gravity signal recorded with<strong>the</strong> super-conducting gravimeter at OnsalaSpace Observa<strong>to</strong>ry.3.4 GNSS3.4.1 Measuring sea surface heightusing GNSS signalsDuring 2008 we started a project <strong>to</strong>measure local sea level and its variationusing GNSS signals. The measurementsare done using a dual GNSS antennaassembly, that we call a GNSS basedtide gauge, at <strong>the</strong> coast at <strong>the</strong> OnsalaSpace Observa<strong>to</strong>ry, see Figure 3.4. Oneantenna is directed upward, receiving<strong>the</strong> direct GNSS signals, and measuring<strong>the</strong> land surface height, whereas <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r antenna is directed downward,receiving <strong>the</strong> GNSS signals reflectedfrom <strong>the</strong> sea surface, and measuring <strong>the</strong>sea surface height.The analysis <strong>of</strong> phase measurementsperformed with <strong>the</strong> correspondingGNSS receivers allows <strong>to</strong> estimate <strong>the</strong>local sea surface height and itsvariation. Results from hourly solutions<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> local sea level at Onsala werecompared with data from two stillingwell gauges, operated by SMHI 39atRinghals and Göteborg about 18 kmsouth and 33 km north <strong>of</strong> Onsala,39SMHI = Swedish Meteorological and HydrologicalInstituteFigure 3.4: GNSS-based tide-gauge at <strong>the</strong>Onsala Space Observa<strong>to</strong>ry.3.4.2 Using GNSS signals <strong>to</strong> measure<strong>the</strong> long term change <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth’satmospheric water vapourWater vapour is a key element in ourclimate system. It takes part in <strong>the</strong>hydrological cycle by transportingwater in <strong>the</strong> atmosphere andredistributing energy throughevaporation and condensation and itaffects <strong>the</strong> precipitation and soilmoisture. Water vapour is also <strong>the</strong> mostimportant green-house gas, absorbingand trapping radiations emitted from<strong>the</strong> Earth’s surface. Therefore,Knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concentration andlong-term changes <strong>of</strong> water vapour in<strong>the</strong> Earth’s atmosphere is <strong>of</strong> crucial


19importance for <strong>the</strong> operational wea<strong>the</strong>rand climate forecasting. However, due<strong>to</strong> it is variable both spatially andtemporally, measuring <strong>the</strong> content <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> water vapour, especially for longtime series is difficult. Based on <strong>the</strong>timing <strong>of</strong> radio waves propagatingthrough <strong>the</strong> atmosphere, GNSS can beused <strong>to</strong> determine <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong>atmospheric water vapor abovereceivers on <strong>the</strong> ground. Along withdensification and extension <strong>of</strong>permanent GNSS station networksglobally, using GNSS measurement <strong>to</strong>estimate atmospheric water vapourcontent is a promising application.Motivated by <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>to</strong> validateand improve climate models, whichnormally are used for forecasting andalso <strong>to</strong> assess our future climate,independent measurements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>content <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth’s atmosphericwater vapour from continuouslyoperating GNSS networks are used. In<strong>the</strong> project, longer time seriesobservations (some up <strong>to</strong> 15 years)from more than 100 GNSS sites (most <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong>m in Europe, and some global) areanalyzed, see Figure 3.5.Figure 3.5: The distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GNSSstations used in <strong>the</strong> project withindependent measurements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> content <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> Earth’s atmospheric water vapour.Systematic effects will be studied inorder <strong>to</strong> obtain realistic trends, withsmall uncertainties. The GNSSestimates are compared <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> watervapour content derived from twoclimate models. The results are not onlyinteresting for <strong>the</strong> climate applications,but also can be used <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong>performance <strong>of</strong> GNSS techniques.3.4.3 Investigations on <strong>the</strong>electromagnetic environment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>GNSS ground-based antennasAfter decades <strong>of</strong> continuousdevelopment, data from GNSS havebeen used successfully in manyapplications. For example, continuouslyoperating GPS stations have significantadvantages for determining <strong>the</strong> Earth’satmospheric water vapour content. Theformal uncertainty is in <strong>the</strong> order <strong>of</strong> 0.5kg/m2 and Root-Mean-Square (RMS)difference seen in comparisons <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rinstruments, such as radiosondes andmicrowave radiometers. Based on <strong>the</strong>highly precise orbit information andconsistent Earth orientation parameters,<strong>the</strong> accuracy <strong>of</strong> horizontal positionestimates from <strong>the</strong> GPS data are at <strong>the</strong>millimetre level. However, <strong>to</strong> get <strong>the</strong>same accuracy in <strong>the</strong> verticalcomponent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinate estimatesfrom GNSS, <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>electromagnetic environment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>GNSS antennas, i.e. scattering andmultipath reflection, should beinvestigated and mitigated. Therefore<strong>the</strong> influence on <strong>the</strong> measurementsfrom attaching anti-reflection material,i.e. microwave absorbers <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> GNSSantenna is <strong>of</strong> great interest <strong>to</strong> study.Additionally, many antennas <strong>of</strong>geodetic stations are protected byradomes from extreme wea<strong>the</strong>rconditions. The effects from <strong>the</strong>installation <strong>of</strong> radomes are alsoimportant <strong>to</strong> know.


20At <strong>the</strong> Onsala Space Observa<strong>to</strong>ry, anexperimental pillar was constructed forflexible mounting <strong>of</strong> GNSS antennas fordifferent scientific studies. A 3-dimensional positioning adjustmentwas mounted below <strong>the</strong> antenna.Hence <strong>the</strong> antenna can be moved indifferent directions with respect <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>radome and <strong>the</strong> pillar. Meanwhile anarrangement was implemented <strong>to</strong> beable <strong>to</strong> move <strong>the</strong> radome up or downrelative <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> pillar. To investigate <strong>the</strong>effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different electromagneticenvironment, <strong>the</strong> observations from <strong>the</strong>experimental pillar were obtained withdifferent geometries <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> absorberand <strong>the</strong> radome, i.e. with or withoutradome, and with or without absorberbelow or around <strong>the</strong> antenna, seeFigure 3.6. The results show that <strong>the</strong>use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> microwave absorberdecreases multipath effects up <strong>to</strong> 80 %both on <strong>the</strong> estimates <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> verticalcomponent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coordinate and <strong>the</strong>atmospheric water vapour content. Theimplementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hemisphericradome gives neglect effects.Figure 3.6: Pho<strong>to</strong>graphs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>experimental station with (<strong>to</strong>p) and without(bot<strong>to</strong>m) <strong>the</strong> radome having, (a) noabsorber, (b) <strong>the</strong> absorber attached bothunder and around <strong>the</strong> antenna, and (c) <strong>the</strong>absorber attached under <strong>the</strong> antennaground plane only.3.5 Co-location workIn 2008 we performed a repeated localtie measurement at <strong>the</strong> Onsala SpaceObserva<strong>to</strong>ry. A laser tracker was used<strong>to</strong> determine <strong>the</strong> reference point <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>20 m radio telescope and <strong>the</strong> connection<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> IGS monument. The outcome <strong>of</strong>this project confirmed in general <strong>the</strong>2002 local tie work. However, <strong>the</strong> newmeasurements provided a local tie withfull covariance information.In a master’s <strong>the</strong>sis project started in2009 we did a survey <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> localgravity field at <strong>the</strong> Onsala SpaceObsera<strong>to</strong>ry. A Lacoste-Rombergrelative gravimeter was used and alarge number <strong>of</strong> survey points at <strong>the</strong>observa<strong>to</strong>ry were observed. Also <strong>the</strong>gravity tie between <strong>the</strong> old gravity hutand <strong>the</strong> new gravity hut wasdetermined.In 2009 we performed <strong>the</strong> project ’ColdMagics’ at <strong>the</strong> Ny-Ålesund GeodeticObserva<strong>to</strong>ry. The aim <strong>of</strong> this projectwas <strong>to</strong> achieve continuous moni<strong>to</strong>ring<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> local tie and local survey networkat a co-location site. A single robotic<strong>to</strong>tal station was used for this projectand differential motion larger than 1was detected mm between observationtargets attached <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> VLBI and GNSSmonument.In 2010 we set up a similar project atOnsala, however with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>to</strong>moni<strong>to</strong>r different type <strong>of</strong> GNNSmonuments and <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong>environmental stress on <strong>the</strong>semonuments. This time we applied tworobotic <strong>to</strong>tal stations.
