Title: Very long baseline interferometry applied to polar motion, relativity, and geodesy. Ph. D. thesis

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6336326

The causes and effects of diurnal polar motion are described. An algorithm was developed for modeling the effects on very long baseline interferometry observables. A selection was made between two three-station networks for monitoring polar motion. The effects of scheduling and the number of sources observed on estimated baseline errors are discussed. New hardware and software techniques in very long baseline interferometry are described.
