variometric approach

The variometric approach to real-time high-frequency geodesy

High-frequency geodesy is here intended as the capability of retrieving information relevant to geodesy and geophysics at high frequency through geodetic measurements and methodologies. In particular, this short review work focuses on two aspects: fast ground motions, as those due to earthquakes, and fast ionospheric total electron content (TEC) disturbances, as those caused by tsunamis.

Impact of Galileo data on the solutions of the variometric approach for displacement analysis

The Variometric Approach for Displacement Analysis Standalone Engine (VADASE) was successfully applied for seismological and monitoring purposes using GPS observations. In this work, GPS inter-operable and specific signals transmitted by Galileo satellites were considered to evaluate the impact of Galileo observations on VADASE solutions. The repetition period of the Galileo constellation was investigated to identify the time-windows with the most abundant number of Galileo satellites. Observation packages of about 15 min at 1 Hz were analyzed.
