DM#536 RIQB new station since 17-APR-2008

 

DM#536 discontinuity found for RIPB on 04-JUN-2005 (<= 3mm)

 

 

Preliminary computations:

 

RIOA and RIOB coordinates adopted from original ITRF2005 values

 

RIOA 2000.0 1429849.9114 -3495346.4724 -5122723.0463 7.79 -9.05 5.93

RIOB 2000.0 1429854.1968 -3495342.3698 -5122725.1392 7.79 -9.05 5.93

 

However, original ITRF2005 values cannot be adopted as such for RIPB as the  discontinuity was detected on 04-JUN-2005 see DORISMail DM#536 was not known by the time of the ITRF2005 comboination

 

Original ITRF2005 values for RIPB was

 

RIPB 2000.0 1429899.1701 -3495323.6044 -5122723.5477 7.79 -9.05 5.93

 

As the discontinuity is small (< 3 mm), we decide to use the orignal ITRF2005 coordinates for the 2 considered periods

 

< 04-JUN-2005

RIPB 2000.0 1429899.1701    -3495323.6044   -5122723.5477   7.79    -9.06   5.93

 

>= 04-JUN-2005

RIPB 2000.0 1429899.1701    -3495323.6044   -5122723.5477   7.79    -9.06   5.93

 

For RIQB, the geodetic local tie provided by IGN/SIMB is

 

RIPB ˆ RIQB 0.086 -0.211 -0.311

 

So the derived RIQB position (from original RIPB ITRF2005 coordinates) is

 

RIQB 2000.0 1429899.2561 -3495323.8154 -5122723.8587 7.79    -9.06   5.93

 

We can test these coordinates, using the recent DORIS data available for this station

 

If we fix the velocity, and estimate only the position at epoch 200.0 using the first available data, we obtain

 

2000.0 RIQB 1429899.2210 -3495323.8530 -5122723.8772 7.79 -9.06 5.93

statistics RIQB XYZ 0.0109 0.0080 0.0059 5

 

 

Final computation:

 

 

Recommendation:

 

 

Adopt the position derived using the geodetic local tie

 

RIQB 2000.0 1429899.2561 -3495323.8154 -5122723.8587 7.79    -9.06   5.93
