An improved global pressure and zenith wet delay model with optimized vertical correction considering the spatiotemporal variability in multiple height-scale factors [PDF]
Atmospheric pressure and zenith wet delay (ZWD) are essential for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) tropospheric correction and precipitable water vapor (PWV) retrieval. As the development progresses of real-time GNSS kinematic technology, moving

Precise estimation of tropospheric path delays with GPS techniques [PDF]
Tropospheric path delays are a major source of error in deep space tracking. However, the tropospheric-induced delay at tracking sites can be calibrated using measurements of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

A new algorithm for microwave delay estimation from water vapor radiometer data [PDF]
A new algorithm has been developed for the estimation of tropospheric microwave path delays from water vapor radiometer (WVR) data, which does not require site and weather dependent empirical parameters to produce high accuracy.

VLBI Astrometry of AGB Variables with VERA -- A Semiregular Variable S Crateris --
We present a distance measurement for the semiregular variable S Crateris (S Crt) based on its annual parallax. With the unique dual beam system of the VLBI Exploration for Radio Astrometry (VERA) telescopes, we measured the absolute proper motion of a ...

Observation model and parameter partials for the JPL VLBI parameter estimation software MASTERFIT-1987 [PDF]
This report is a revision of the document of the same title (1986), dated August 1, which it supersedes. Model changes during 1986 and 1987 included corrections for antenna feed rotation, refraction in modelling antenna axis offsets, and an option to ...
