The Study of Seasonal Changes of Permanent Stations Coordinates based on Weekly EPN Solutions

Abstract

Abstract Daily and weekly coordinates solutions of GNSS permanent stations operating within EPN network allows to track long-term changes of coordinates caused e.g. by the local and global movements of tectonic plates. They are therefore an excellent tool for testing stability and repeatability of stations position. The article presents an analysis of coordinates changes of selected reference stations based on weekly EPN solutions. In addition the author proposes parameters of approximating function by assuming an existence of periodic, annually repeatable trend. The author performed also an independent fitting function for two different periods of two ITRF frames of routine time analysis and reprocessing.
