Station Performance / Systematic Residual Charts 2021-2022 (Guadalajara Workshop spoiler)
« on: October 24, 2022, 06:47:26 AM »
Dear SLR Station colleagues,
After a few years' break, a number of "station x satellite" systematic residual charts are created using one year data from July 2021 to June 2022. See you at my poster in Guadalajara or online (https://congreso-yebes.ign.es/web/portal/home).
What's new in 2022: ITRF2020 velocity and PSD. Rodriguez's CoM corrections. GOCO6S gravity model. LAGEOS-1 and -2 handled separately.
I am still making the poster and the link will be posted here later. It is impossible to include all these charts in the poster, so please have a look in advance.
See you in Spain,
Toshi

- POD residuals vs Intensity (returns per NP bin)

(Negative trend indicates a typical "stronger=shorter" dependence. Probably underestimated for LAGEOS because it also depends on elevation. Some stations moved to single photon mode and eliminated the trend.) - POD residuals vs Single shot RMS

(Positive trend indicates the mean being affected by the tail clipping. I know it's a bit controversial - I am not sure whether it is harmful to geodetic products or not.) - POD residuals vs Applied system delay
http://geo.science.hit-u.ac.jp/slr/bias/2022sp/SortDelay22b.pdf
(Negative 1:1 trend indicates untrue variation in calibration. Some stations show very stable calibration: only 1 mm RMS thoughout the year in Wettzell 8834!) - POD residuals vs Local time
http://geo.science.hit-u.ac.jp/slr/bias/2022sp/SortHour22b.pdf
(Day-night observability and stability.) - POD residuals vs Range rate
http://geo.science.hit-u.ac.jp/slr/bias/2022sp/SortRR22b.pdf
(Negative = pass start, Zero = closest point, Positive = pass end. A slope indicates time bias although such a case is not clearly observed this time. Do not worry much with a small wobble if seen only in one satellite - possibly due to insufficient POD models. Asymmetric "Counts" histograms show that some stations do not try to cover the whole pass.)
