JoG HELB data to be deleted from 01-FEB-2000 to 31-JUL-2002

Antenna movement

 

IDS HELB data to be deleted from 01-FEB-2000 to 31-JUL-2002

 

DM#199 HELA Jan 1990 to April 1997 antenna should be rather stable. Corrosion occurs after April 1997 and before July 2002.

Estimated tilt is N = 50-60 mm (July 2002)

On July 31, 2002 antenna is put back to initial position

 

NZ HELB larger POD residuals

 

PW it may be wise to add a break on 31-JUL-2002 due to the large data gap. It could be a way to check the geodetic local tie

 

Preliminary computations:

 

Position in ITRF2005 are

 

HELB 2000.0 6104823.154 -605830.893 -1740720.111 8.78 22.75 18.65

 

Position computed from DORIS data, using fixed velocity is

 

2000.0 HELB 6104823.1519 -605830.8888 -1740720.1019 8.78 22.75 18.65

statistics HELB XYZ 0.0038 0.0051 0.0029 55

 

The difference is quite small, in XYZ/mm -2 +5 +9

 

It is possible that the larger POD residuals come from the 2000-2002 (data to be deleted)? To be confirmed by Nikita.

 

In DORIS solution (tf_070515a) X/VX, position before break is

 

HELB 2000.0 6104823.155 -605830.897 -1740720.100 14.60 18.42 17.29

 

Position after break is

 

HEL1 2000.0 6104823.130 -605830.907 -1740720.101 14.60 18.42 17.29

 

So there may be a small difference in X (25mm), but not in Y (10) and Z (1)

 

In more recent DORIS solution, position after the break (fixing the velocity to ITRF2005) (ign07d02) is

 

2000.0 HEL1 6104823.1438 -605830.9010 -1740720.1185 8.78 22.75 18.65

statistics HEL1 XYZ 0.0023 0.0037 0.0025 33

 

and for HELB

 

2000.0 HELB 6104823.1510 -605830.8881 -1740720.1094 8.78 22.75 18.65

statistics HELB XYZ 0.0033 0.0055 0.0028 55

 

so it is in good agreement with ITRF2005

 

 

Recommendation:

 

HELB data to be deleted from 01-FEB-2000 to 31-JUL-2002

HELB break on 31-JUL-2002

Adopt HELB ITRF2005 position and velocity before and after the period for which data should be deleted.
