Investigation on Tidal Components in GPS Coordinates

This paper presents analyses on the GPS coordinates from sub-diurnal solutions of EPN data provided by Warsaw Military University of Technology. The aim of this research is to investigate the way the tidal models used in Bernese software (solid Earth and ocean tides as well) fit to the individual conditions of EPN stations. The 1-hour solution technique of GPS data processing was utilized to obtain coordinates of above 70 EPN stations. Additionally several Polish permanent sites with clearly seen oscillations were examined. This processing technique allowed us to recognize diurnal and sub-diurnal residual oscillations which could be next utilized for validation of the tidal models.
