Basic Facts • Processing on Cluster of Linux PCs • 1-day solution ~ 2.5h from raw level • 1-day solution ~ 15min from screened DD-level • 7-day solution ~ 2h on NEQ level • Labor input invested ~ 15000 man hours • 40% software development and processing setup • 40% data handling and screening • 20% analysis of results and publication • Results • 3 complete processing runs • ~ 20 additional solutions based on 1-day solutions
Bernese GPS Software frozen version from !May 2005! • absolue PCVs (!w.r.t. IGb00!) • 2nd & 3rd –order IONO • IMF for TROPO 1-day Normal Equations (NEQs) ZD-code observations: - ION,DCB,CLK DD-phase observations: - XYZ, TRP - ORB, PCV - ERP Modeling and Adjustment
Modeling and Adjustment Higher-order ionospheric effects mean coordinate residuals for the year 2002 (GRL, Fritsche et al. 2005) compared to standard solution
Modeling and Adjustment A Priori Tropospheric Delay mean NMF-IMFdifferences for 2002 at 5° elevation (GRL, Vey et al. 2006)
1-day NEQs Modeling and Adjustment 3-day solution satellite orbits weekly solution coordinates, Earth rotation parameter long term solution Reference Frame

GPS TRF – PDR05 • Terrestrial Reference System Realization • absolute PCVs for satellites and receiver antennas (scale) • preelimination of weekly satellite arcs (CM) • station coordinates, velocities: NNR w.r.t. IGb00 • Xpol, Ypol: freely estimated • spherical harmonics for a surface load redistribution (JGR, Rülke et al. 2008)
GPS TRF – PDR05 Degree-1 Surface Load Coefficients
GPS TRF – PDR05 TRS space geodetic observations + random erros systematic modeling errors additional constaints Comparison of TRFs: instead of 14-parameter transformation weekly 7-parameter transformations TRF = „Estimate“

Conclusions • Reprocessing results show improved quality and homogeneity of estimated parameter time series • Reference systemrealization based on homogeneously reprocessed GPS observations • Concept ofsimultaneous estimation of satellite orbits, stationpositions and large-scale surface load deformation in the CM frame
