GGOS-D Consistent, High-Accuracy Technique-Specific Solutions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
System Earth via Geodetic-Geophysical Space Techniques

Part of the book series: Advanced Technologies in Earth Sciences ((ATES))

Abstract

Consistent and homogeneous long-time series of the space geodetic techniquesGlobal Positioning System (GPS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), andVery Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provide the basis for thecombination efforts of GGOS-D. For a consistent combination, thedefinition of common standards for parameterization and modeling isessential. These standards and the technique-specific processingoptions of all individual GPS, SLR, and VLBI solutions as well asthe combined SLR and VLBI solutions are discussed.
