Noise analysis in California and Southern Nevada

 

speaker Li-Fen Kuo

 

Abstract

 

Most researches using geodetic measurements consider only the white noises, while color noises are also important factors. To understand the effects of color noises, Langbein et al. [1997] conducted a research about the noise in two-color EDM, using power spectrum density analysis and maximum likelihood estimates, fo und that flicker noise is considered as the most significant time-dependent noise component in two-color EDM data .

 

In an attempt to understand the time-dependent noise components in geodetic measurements , Langbein [2008] estimate the noise in GPS time series, using more models that didn't consider by similar researches (e.g. Mao et all [1999]) . Found that only a low percentage of sits required those models, and random-walk noise is considered as the most significant time-dependent noise component in GPS data .
