Product Description:
This reference and handbook includes contributions from the world’s leading experts and describes the history, theory, development, research highlights, problems and future of the individual geodetic fields. The subjects include: Geodesy, Satellite Geodesy, Marine Geodesy, GPS / Galileo Systems, Navigation and Positioning, Aerogravimetry, Super-conducting Gravimetry, Adjustment and Filtering, Orbits Theory, Orbits Determination, Tectonics, Earth Rotation and Polar Motion, Earth Tide and Ocean Loading Tide, Satellite Altimetry, Remote Sensing, InSAR, etc.
Chapter 1 “Absolute and Relative Gravimetry” provides an overview of the
gravimetric methods to determine most accurately the gravity acceleration at given
locations.
Chapter 2 “Adaptively Robust Kalman Filters with Applications in Navigation”,
the main achievements of the adaptively robust filter are summarized from the published
papers in recent years.
Chapter 3 “Airborne Gravity Field Determination” outlines some of the basic
principles of airborne gravimetry, with special focus on geodetic applications, and
gives some examples from recent large-scale surveys.
The Chap. 4 “Analytic Orbit Theory” describes the satellite orbit theory in a condensed
way. The perturbed equations of satellite motion are discussed first.
The Chap. 5 “Deformation and Tectonics” addresses some aspects of the use
of the GPS system in the study of plate tectonics.
Chapter 6 “Earth Rotation” provides an overview of the state-of-the-art theoretical
and observational aspects on Earth rotation.
Chapter 7 is entitled “Equivalence of GPS Algorithms and its Inference”. The
equivalence principle of differential and un-differential GPS algorithms, combined
and un-combined GPS algorithms as well as their mixtures are discussed.
Chapter 8 “Marine Geodesy” presents an overview of geodetic contributions to
the scope of the marine environment.
Chapter 9 “Satellite Laser Ranging” introduces the reader to this space geodetic
technique and covers the basics of instrumentation, error sources both in the measured
and in calculated range, leading up to determination of observed-computed
residuals, which provides an indication of “best-fit” orbit to the observations.
Chapter 10 “Superconducting Gravimetry” is related to measuring, evaluation
and interpretation of superconducting gravimeter data.
Chapter 11 “Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry” introduces the principles
and data processing of the SAR interferometry including differential SAR interferometry,
corner reflector SAR interferometry (CR-INSAR) and some of the practical
applications.
