With the development of high-precision inertial navigation systems, the deflection of vertical (DOV), gravity disturbance, is still one of the main error sources that restrict navigation accuracy. For the DOV compensation of the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) problem, the influences of the calculation degree of the spherical harmonic coefficient and the calculation error of the DOV on the compensation effect were studied. Based on the SINS error model, the error propagation characteristics of the DOV in SINS were analyzed. In addition, the high-precision global gravity field spherical harmonic model EIGEN-6C4 was established and the influence comparative analysis of the calculation degree of the spherical harmonic coefficient on the DOV compensation of SINS in different regions was carried out. Besides, the influence of the calculation error of the DOV on the compensation was emphatically analyzed. Finally, the vehicle experiment verified the feasibility of compensation in SINS based on the gravity field spherical harmonic model. The simulation and experiment results show that it is necessary to consider the influence of the calculation degree and the calculation error of the DOV on the compensation for long-time high-precision SINS with the position accuracy of 0.3 nm/h, while the SINS with general requirements for position accuracy can ignore the impact.

Under the effect of celestial bodies, the deflection of vertical induces changes in the levelled height difference. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the produced effect on high-precision levelling data. The article analyses the dependency of lunisolar correction on the lunar phase and azimuth of the levelling line and correction rate of changes. The paper also revises formulas for calculating lunisolar correction derived from using tide generating potential.

Abstract. The study aims to evaluate ground deformations in a vast area characterized by the coexistence of intense anthropic activities and offshore natural gas production. Onshore subsidence can be studied by GNSS, InSAR, high precision leveling and extensometers that provide broad datasets for a fully integrated description of the phenomenon. At present, seafloor subsidence monitoring cannot be carried out by high precision leveling, and GNSS is the only reliable method, implemented by means of permanent stations installed on offshore hydrocarbon production facilities. In the Northern/Central Adriatic Sea gas production platforms, GNSS data are recorded since more than 15 years, allowing to estimate not only the average subsidence of the platform/seafloor, but also possible velocity variations due to underground fluids withdrawal. This study shows the comparison of 22 offshore GNSS permanent stations located in the study area. Raw data have been processed with two different software packages (GIPSY-OASIS and GAMIT-GLOBK) based on different approaches and considering different boundary conditions of geodetic and/or modeling nature. Main results point out the high accuracy of the GNSS technology considering also the impact of data processing. Finally, at selected permanent stations we also performed a comparison of results obtained by GNSS, InSAR and high precision leveling.

This paper focuses on issues related to the calculation of a high-precision fitted geoid model on Estonian territory. Model Est-Geoid2003 have been used in Estonia several years in geodesy and other applications. New data from precise levelling, new global models and terrestrial gravity data give plenty of possibilities for updates and accuracy evaluation. The model is based on a gravimetric geoid. From the gravimetric data gathered, a gravimetric geoid for Estonia was calculated as an approximately 3-km net using the FFT method. After including the new gravimetric data gathered, the gravimetric geoid no longer had any significant tilt relative to the height anomalies derived from GPS-levelling points. The standard deviation between the points was 2.7 cm. The surface of the calculated gravimetric geoid was fitted by high-precision GPS-levelling points. As a result, a height transformation model was determined to reflect the differences between the normal heights of BK77 and the ellipsoidal heights of EUREF-EST97 on Estonian territory. The model was originally called Est-Geoid2003 and is part of the official national geodetic system in Estonia. The model is updated and evaluated here using precise GPS-levelling points obtained from different measurement campaigns. In 2008–2010 the preliminary results from the latest precise levelling sessions became available, leading to a significant increase in the number of precise GPS-levelling points. Both networks are part of the Estonian integrated geodetic network. Using very precise levelling connections from new levelling lines, normal heights of several RGP points were calculated additionally. Misclosure of 300 km polygons are less than 2–3 mm normally. Ealier all precisely levelled RGP points were included into fitting points. Now many new points are available for fitting and independent evaluation. However, the use of several benchmarks for the same RGP point sometimes results in a 1–2 cm difference in normal height. This reveals problems with the stability of older wall benchmarks, which are widely used in Estonia. Even we recognized, that 0.5 cm fitted geoid model is not achievable using wall benchmarks. New evaluation of the model Est-Geoid2003 is introduced in the light of preliminary data from new precise levelling. Model accuracy is recognised about 1.2 cm as rms. Santrauka Akcentuojami klausimai, susiję su tiksliausio Estijos geoido modelio skaičiavimu. Šis modelis Estijoje geodezijoje ir kitose mokslo bei technikos šakose taikomas nuo 2003 metų. Nauji precizinės niveliacijos duomenys, nauji globalieji geopotencialo modeliai ir žemyno gravimetriniai duomenys – prielaidos geoido modeliui atnaujinti ir jo tikslumui įvertinti. Modelio pagrindas – gravimetrinis geoidas. Pagal surinktus gravimetrinius duomenis Estijos geoidas buvo apskaičiuotas greitųjų Furjė tranformacijų (FFT) metodu, sukuriant apie 3 km akių tinklą. Įtraukus naujuosius gravimetrinius duomenis, gravimetrinis geoidas daugiau nebeturi aukščių anomalijų. Vidutinė kvadratinė paklaida – 2,7 cm. Apskaičiuoto gravimetrinio geoido paviršius susietas su aukščių sistema pagal GPS niveliacijos taškus. 2008–2010 m. gavus precizinės niveliacijos duomenis, žymiai padidėjo GPS niveliacijos taškų skaičius bei jų tikslumas, nes precizinės niveliacijos poligonų iki 300 km nesąryšiai gauti mažesni nei 2–3 mm. Įvertinus naujo Estijos geoido modelio tikslumą nustatyta 1,2 cm vidutinė kvadratinė paklaida. Резюме Акцентируются вопросы, касающиеся вычисления точной модели геоида Эстонии. Эта модель применяется в Эстонии с 2003 г. в геодезии и других отраслях науки и техники. Новые данные высокоточной нивеляции, новые глобальные модели геопотенциала, а также гравиметрические данные создают предпосылки для обновления модели геоида и оценки его точности. Модель основана на гравиметрическом геоиде. Модель геоида Эстонии была вычислена быстрым методом Фурье с использованием всех гравиметрических данных и созданием сети 3×3 км. После использования новых гравиметрических данных в геоиде не оказалось значительного превышения высот по сравнению с точками, измеренными методом GPS. Среднеквадратическая погрешность составила 2,7 см. Вычисленная модель геоида была соединена с системой высот по точкам GPSнивелирования. Благодаря новым данным по высокоточной нивеляции, полученным в 2008–2010 гг., значительно увеличилось количество точек GPSнивелирования и тем самым увеличилась точность геоида, так как невязки полигонов нивелирования составляют всего 2–3 мм. Оценив точность нового геоида Эстонии, выявлено среднеквадратическое отклонение в 1,2 см.

The authors present the results of comparing the components of deflection of vertical obtained through astronomical-geodetic and navigational-geodetic methods. The first one is based on comparing astronomical and geodetic coordinates of a location. This method has recently been widely implemented in a digital zenith camera systems using a small-sized digital telescope with an astronomical camera based on CCD or CMOS technologies, a high-precision inclinometer and satellite navigation system receiver. In this case, the combination of a telescope, an astronomical camera and an inclinometer enables determining the local direction of the plumb line, expressed by astronomical coordinates, from observations of stars at the zenith and using high-precision star catalogs. The navigational-geodetic method is based on comparing the results of the normal heights’ increments, defined through geometric leveling, and geodetic heights, computed with the relative method of satellite coordinate determinations. For each method, random and systematic components of the error and its confidence bounds were calculated; the absolute values of the deflection of vertical components at two geographically separated points were compared.

The aim of the research is to diagnose the metrological characteristics of high-precision GNSS-observations by methods of non-classical error theory of measurements (NETM) based on Ukrainian reference stations. Methodology. We selected 72 GNSS reference stations, downloaded daily observation files from the LPI analysis center server, and created time series in the topocentric coordinate system. The duration of the time series is almost two years (March 24, 2019 - January 2, 2021). Using a specialized software package, the time series have been cleaned of offsets and breaks, seasonal effects, and the trend component has been removed. Verification of empirical distributions of errors was provided by the procedure of NETM on the recommendations offered by G. Jeffries and on the principles of hypothesis tests the theory according to Pearson's criterion. The main result of the research. It is established that the obtained time series of coordinates of reference GNSS stations do not confirm the hypothesis of their conformity to the normal Gaussian distribution law. NETM diagnostics of the accuracy of high-precision GNSS measurements, which is based on the use of confidence intervals for assessing the asymmetry and kurtosis of a significant sample, followed by the Pearson test, confirms the presence of weak, not removed from GNSS-processing, sources of systematic errors. Scientific novelty. The authors use the possibility of NETM to improve the processing of high-precision GNSS measurements and the need to take into account the sources of systematic errors. Failure to take into account certain factors creates the effect of shifting the time coordinate series, which, in turn, leads to subjective estimates of station velocity, i.e. their geodynamic interpretation. Practical significance. Research of the reasons for deviations of errors distribution from the established norms provides metrological literacy of carrying out high-precision GNSS measurements of large samples.

The article provides a brief overview of the developed by the authors and approved methods of precision testing of various samples of NAP-V dynamic consumers and the main test results using these methods in various geographic, weather and operational conditions. One of the key advantages of the techniques is the use of technology for obtaining precision coordinates of control points by the method of long-baseline relative determinations and obtaining reference tracks of a dynamic consumer using the method of integer resolution of ambiguities of phase GNSS measurements.

Conventional SAD patterns as obtained in the TEM present difficulties for identification of materials such as asbestiform minerals, although diffraction data is considered to be an important method for making this purpose. The preferred orientation of the fibers and the spotty patterns that are obtained do not readily lend themselves to measurement of the integrated intensity values for each d-spacing, and even the d-spacings may be hard to determine precisely because the true center location for the broken rings requires estimation. We have implemented an automatic method for diffraction pattern measurement to overcome these problems. It automatically locates the center of patterns with high precision, measures the radius of each ring of spots in the pattern, and integrates the density of spots in that ring. The resulting spectrum of intensity vs. radius is then used just as a conventional X-ray diffractometer scan would be, to locate peaks and produce a list of d,I values suitable for search/match comparison to known or expected phases.

The main features of weak beam images of dislocations were first described by Cockayne et al. using calculations of intensity profiles based on the kinematical and two beam dynamical theories. The feature of weak beam images which is of particular interest in this investigation is that intensity profiles exhibit a sharp peak located at a position very close to the position of the dislocation in the crystal. This property of weak beam images of dislocations has an important application in the determination of stacking fault energy of crystals. This can easily be done since the separation of the partial dislocations bounding a stacking fault ribbon can be measured with high precision, assuming of course that the weak beam relationship between the positions of the image and the dislocation is valid. In order to carry out measurements such as these in practice the specimen must be tilted to "good" weak beam diffraction conditions, which implies utilizing high values of the deviation parameter Sg.
