A paper detailing the pros and cons of combining VLBI and GPS
December 14, 2005
PAPER ABOUT VLBI-GPS COMBINATION TO DETERMINE EARTH ORIENTATION PARAMETERS PUBLISHED A paper detailing the pros and cons of combining VLBI and GPS observations to determine Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) co-authored by a member of the CORS Team was recently published. The full reference of the article is as follows: Ray, J., J. Kouba, and Z. Altamimi, Is there utility in rigorous combinations of VLBI and GPS EOPs?, J. of Geodesy, doi: 10.1007/ s00190-005-0007-7, 79(9), 505-511, 2005.

A paper detailing the pros and cons of combining VLBI and GPS
To Sam
There must be some perverse satisfaction in recognising that the GPS receivers convert back to the pre-Copernican terrestial longitudes and its heliocentric equivalent of 4 clock minutes to 1 degree Longitude or smaller associations based on 24 hours/360 deg. I have to promote the ancient system and its heliocentric transfer to an audience who can no longer acknowledge that the principles which dictate pace from a sandclock to an atomic clock have never changed nor can the core astronomical principles which assume constant axial rotation be severed from the principle of the equable 24 hour day. It is apolitical,in other words the VLBI based sidereal format is a later calendrically/celestial sphere based format whereas the Equation of Time is strictly the Earth/Sun over an annual orbit whether pre-Copernican or heliocentric. Be sure to remind these cors guys that all they can ever do is look really foolish as the core principles will remain undisturbed and waiting for genuinely intelligent people to appreceate them. |
