Adjustable box-wing model for solar radiation pressure impacting GPS satellites
TL;DR: In this article, a new model for the solar radiation pressure on GPS satellites is presented that is based on a box-wing satellite model, and assumes nominal attitude, which can be adjusted to fit the GPS tracking data.

The 2008 DGFI realization of the ITRS: DTRF2008
TL;DR: In this paper, a new ITRS realization is presented, which is based on either normal equation systems or estimated parameters derived from VLBI, SLR, GPS and DORIS observations by weekly or session-wise processing.

TL;DR: The Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) as mentioned in this paper is an uncoupled land surface modeling system that drives multiple models, integrates a huge quantity of observation-based data, runs globally at high resolution (0.25°), and produces results in near-real time (typically within 48 h of the present).

MSIS‐86 Thermospheric Model
TL;DR: The MSIS-86 empirical model of thermospheric temperature, density and composition as discussed by the authors uses new temperature and composition data from the Dynamics Explorer satellite to improve the representation of polar region morphology over that in theMSIS-83 model.

Global mapping functions for the atmosphere delay at radio wavelengths
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed expressions for calculating the ratios (mapping functions) of the "line of sight" hydrostatic and wet atmospheric path delays to their corresponding zenith delays at radio wavelengths for elevation angles down to 3°.

Global Mapping Function (GMF): A new empirical mapping function based on numerical weather model data
TL;DR: In this paper, the Global Mapping Function (GMF) was proposed based on data from the global ECMWF numerical weather model and the coefficients of the GMF were obtained from an expansion of the Vienna mapping function (VMF1) parameters into spherical harmonics on a global grid.
Geodesy by radio interferometry: Effects of atmospheric modeling errors on estimates of baseline length
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mapping function for the elevation angle dependence of the atmospheric delay is developed, and the delay predicted by this mapping function differs from ray trace results by less than approximately 5 mm, at all elevations down to 5 deg elevation, and introduces errors into the estimates of baseline length.
