Retrieval of Refractivity Fields from GNSS Tropospheric Delays: Theoretical and Data-Based Evaluation of Collocation Methods and Comparisons with GNSS Tomography
JOURNAL OF GEODESY(2024)
ETH Zürich
Abstract
This paper focuses on the retrieval of refractivity fields from GNSS measurements by means of least-squares collocation. Collocation adjustment estimates parameters that relate delays and refractivity without relying on a grid. It contains functional and stochastic models that define the characteristics of the retrieved refractivity fields. This work aims at emphasizing the capabilities and limitations of the collocation method in modeling refractivity and to present it as a valuable alternative to GNSS tomography. Initially, we analyze the stochastic models in collocation and compare the theoretical errors of collocation with those of tomography. We emphasize the low variability of collocation formal variances/covariances compared to tomography and its lower dependence on a-priori fields. Then, based on real and simulated data, we investigate the importance of station resolution and station heights for collocation. Increasing the network resolution, for example, from 10 to 2 km, results in improved a-posteriori statistics, including a 10

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
