| Resumo | |
The use of the Doppler shift measurements to locate atransmitter has been studied and tested within the Brazilian Environmental Data Collection System. To improve the location of Data Collection Platforms (DCPs) with their transmitters, some effects such as corrections due to the ionosphere and the troposphere have been considered in aprevious work (Celestino et aI., 2007) using simulated data and some initial error evaluation for one existing DCP. This work presents an evaluation of the impacts on the geographical location due to the ionospheric and the tropospheric effects, however using two meteorological DCPs and covering a longer test period (one year). The seasonal and day-night effects are also analyzed during this test period. The results of the analysis indicated that correction of the ionospheric and tropospheric effects can, on the average, reduce the location errors to the scale between ten and hundred meters for the test conditions independent of the DCP location that was used. Due to the complexity of modeling sources of errors in the location of a platform, still a considerable work need to be done to reduce location errors in the system. Initial analysis indicates that the knowledge of the satellite position can be another significant source of platform position error. (AU) | |
