Abstract

In its function as an ITRS Combination Center, DGFI has developed refined methods for the terrestrial reference frame computation. The advanced approach is based on the combination of epoch normal equations (weekly/ daily data sets) containing station positions and Earth orientation parameters (EOP) obtained from different geodetic space techniques such as VLBI, SLR, GPS and DORIS. This refined approach allows to account for nonlinear effects (e.g., periodic signals and discontinuities) in station positions and to ensure consistency between TRF and EOP. The ITRF2004 submissions were used as input for a refined realization of the terrestrial reference frame. This paper presents the combination methodology and the current status of the ITRF2004 computations at DGFI.
