Abstract

As one of the tracking systems used to determine orbits of the altimeter mission satellites (such as TOPEX/Poseidon, Envisat, Jason-1/-2/-3, CryoSat-2, Saral/Altika, Sentinel-3A/-3B, HY-2A/C/D, Jason-CS/Sentinel-6A, SWOT), DORIS (Doppler Orbitography Radiopositionning Integrated by Satellite) allows to determine positions and velocities of tracking stations that define a stable reference for the estimation of the precise orbits and thus are fundamental for the quality of the altimeter data and derived mean sea level products. Due to the time evolution of the DORIS ground network, some stations included in the 2020 realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF2020) have been decommissioned and since 2021.0 a few new stations were added to the tracking network. Therefore, to satisfy operational requirements for POD (Precise Orbit Determination) and routine delivery of geodetic products, the International DORIS Service (IDS) regularly updates the DPOD (DORIS terrestrial reference frame for Precise Orbit Determination). The DPOD solutions include mean positions and velocities of all the DORIS stations since 1993.0 derived from the stacking of the latest IDS weekly combined series aligned to the current ITRF. In this paper, we first present the stacking process of the DPOD2020 version 1.0. Then, we address the validation procedure of the DPO2020 including comparison with ITRF2020 and POD tests. For eighty percent of all the time segments of all the DORIS stations, the station position differences between DPOD2020 version 1.0 and ITRF2020 are smaller than ten millimeters. The major position differences between these two solutions are associated with the DORIS sites either localized in the South Atlantic Anomaly region or with time spans smaller than one year. Compared to DPOD2014, the DPOD2020 shows reduction of the main statistics of the DORIS-to-DORIS tie residuals (differences between the estimated and measured ties). The POD tests showed similar results for DPOD2020 and DPOD2014 for most of the altimetric satellites (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, CryoSat-2, Jason-3). In addition, we observed better POD results with DPOD2020 for the latest altimetric satellite Sentinel-3A as well as a slight degradation for Jason-2. That degradation was fully explained by slightly worst results for the stations localized in the South Atlantic Anomaly region.

Abstract

In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have celebrated these developments, e.g., in Venice, Italy, the 15th (2006) and 20th (2012) years of progress and more recently, in 2018, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal, 25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry. On this latter occasion it was decided to collect contributions of scientists, engineers and managers involved in the worldwide altimetry community to depict the state of altimetry and propose recommendations for the altimetry of the future. This paper summarizes contributions and recommendations that were collected and provides guidance for future mission design, research activities, and sustainable operational radar altimetry data exploitation. Recommendations provided are fundamental for optimizing further scientific and operational advances of oceanographic observations by altimetry, including requirements for spatial and temporal resolution of altimetric measurements, their accuracy and continuity. There are also new challenges and new openings mentioned in the paper that are particularly crucial for observations at higher latitudes, for coastal oceanography, for cryospheric studies and for hydrology. The paper starts with a general introduction followed by a section on Earth System Science including Ocean Dynamics, Sea Level, the Coastal Ocean, Hydrology, the Cryosphere and Polar Oceans and the ‘‘Green” Ocean, extending the frontier from biogeochemistry to marine ecology. Applications are described in a subsequent section, which covers Operational Oceanography, Weather, Hurricane Wave and Wind Forecasting, Climate projection. Instruments’ development and satellite missions’ evolutions are described in a fourth section. A fifth section covers the key observations that altimeters provide and their potential complements, from other Earth observation measurements to in situ data. Section 6 identifies the data and methods and provides some accuracy and resolution requirements for the wet tropospheric correction, the orbit and other geodetic requirements, the Mean Sea Surface, Geoid and Mean Dynamic Topography, Calibration and Validation, data accuracy, data access and handling (including the DUACS system). Section 7 brings a transversal view on scales, integration, artificial intelligence, and capacity building (education and training). Section 8 reviews the programmatic issues followed by a conclusion.

Abstract

The ray-tracing of signals emitted by the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is implemented on Graphics Processing Units (GPU) by two parallel programming techniques: the “Compute Unified Device Architecture” (CUDA) C-language and the directives for “Hybrid Multicore Parallel Programming” (HMPP) developed by CAPS Entreprise. The signal propagation is obtained by the numerical integration of the differential system derived from the eikonal equation by the Runge-Kutta method. The computation of atmospheric delays on GPU has to preserve the millimeter accuracy using the double precision arithmetic. Four versions describe how the ray-tracing of 8,100 rays was optimized for the Fermi architecture. As referring to a single-core single-threaded CPU version, accelerations ranging from 20 to 50 times are progressively obtained when the software enhancements gradually harness the hardware capabilities. The versions HMPP and CUDA provide exactly the same accelerations. HMPP further provides an easy implementation for multiple kind of GPU cards. A speed-up of 75 times versus the CPU version is finally reached when the ray-tracing algorithm is applied to 130,000 rays.

Abstract

International Altimetry Team., In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have celebrated these developments, e.g., in Venice, Italy, the 15th (2006) and 20th (2012) years of progress and more recently, in 2018, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal, 25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry. On this latter occasion it was decided to collect contributions of scientists, engineers and managers involved in the worldwide altimetry community to depict the state of altimetry and propose recommendations for the altimetry of the future. This paper summarizes contributions and recommendations that were collected and provides guidance for future mission design, research activities, and sustainable operational radar altimetry data exploitation. Recommendations provided are fundamental for optimizing further scientific and operational advances of oceanographic observations by altimetry, including requirements for spatial and temporal resolution of altimetric measurements, their accuracy and continuity. There are also new challenges and new openings mentioned in the paper that are particularly crucial for observations at higher latitudes, for coastal oceanography, for cryospheric studies and for hydrology. The paper starts with a general introduction followed by a section on Earth System Science including Ocean Dynamics, Sea Level, the Coastal Ocean, Hydrology, the Cryosphere and Polar Oceans and the “Green” Ocean, extending the frontier from biogeochemistry to marine ecology. Applications are described in a subsequent section, which covers Operational Oceanography, Weather, Hurricane Wave and Wind Forecasting, Climate projection. Instruments’ development and satellite missions’ evolutions are described in a fourth section. A fifth section covers the key observations that altimeters provide and their potential complements, from other Earth observation measurements to in situ data. Section 6 identifies the data and methods and provides some accuracy and resolution requirements for the wet tropospheric correction, the orbit and other geodetic requirements, the Mean Sea Surface, Geoid and Mean Dynamic Topography, Calibration and Validation, data accuracy, data access and handling (including the DUACS system). Section 7 brings a transversal view on scales, integration, artificial intelligence, and capacity building (education and training). Section 8 reviews the programmatic issues followed by a conclusion., At the forefront of this support, we must obviously mention the space agencies CNES, ESA and NASA which have played and still play a decisive role in the development and launch of several prominent altimetry missions from the outset. Other agencies such as DLR, EUMETSAT, ISRO, NOAA, NSOAS and organizations such as CMEMS, also contribute significantly to developments in all forms of altimetry.
