Accuracy of mean earth ellipsoid based on Doppler, laser and altimeter observations
Abstract The error in the mean earth ellipsoid computer on the basis of Doppler or laser observations of artificial earth satellites or radar altimeter observations of the ocean surface from a satellite depends upon instrument precision, on uncertainties in the specification of the earth's gravity field at both long and short wave lengths, on uncertainties in the origin of the coordinate system, on modeling errors in ionospheric (except laser) and tropospheric refraction, and, for altimetry, on oceanographic effects. The magnitude of the uncertainty in the computed ellipsoid will vary depending on the size of these errors and on the number and distribution of observation stations. Review of computations based on various data sets indicates that differences in the computed ellipsoids are consistent with those expected due to the various error sources and that the best fitting ellipsoid has a semi-major axis of6378136±2 m.
