• Benefits of non-tidal loading applied at distinct levels in VLBI analysis 

      Glomsda, MatthiasORCIDiD; Bloßfeld, Mathis; Seitz, Manuela; Seitz, FlorianORCIDiD (Journal of Geodesy, 2020-08-31)
      In the analysis of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations, many geophysical models are used for correcting the theoretical signal delay. In addition to the conventional models described by Petit and Luzum ...
    • Scale Factors of the Thermospheric Density: A Comparison of Satellite Laser Ranging and Accelerometer Solutions 

      Zeitler, LeaORCIDiD; Corbin, Armin; Vielberg, KristinORCIDiD; Rudenko, SergeiORCIDiD; Löcher, Anno; Bloßfeld, Mathis; Schmidt, Michael; Kusche, JürgenORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021-12-24)
      A major problem in the precise orbit determination (POD) of satellites at altitudes below 1,000 km is the modeling of the aerodynamic drag which mainly depends on the thermospheric density and causes the largest non‐gravitational ...
