LU Ģeodēzijas UN ĢEOINFORMĀTIKAS INSTITŪTĀ 2025. GADA JANVĀRĪ UZSĀKTA LZP FLPP PROJEKTA "Anomālās refrakcijas efekta izpēte izmantojot automatizēto digitālo zenītkameru VESTA" ĪSTENOŠANA

Šī pētījuma darba mērķis, kas raksturo tā novitāti, ir izpētīt anomālās refrakcijas (AR) uzvedību Zemes atmosfērā, izmantojot jaunu pieeju – digitālo zenītkameru (DZK) VESTA (VErtical by STArs) un atdalot AR komponentes no VESTA mērījumiem. DZK VESTA, radīta Latvijas Universitātē, nosaka Zemes gravitācijas lauka vertikāles nolieces komponentes izmantojot novērotos un zenīta zvaigžņu kataloga datus kā augstas precizitātes atskaites sistēmu. VESTA veic tiešus augstas precizitātes mērījumus, kas ir neatkarīgi no gravitācijas paātrinājuma, ģeometriskās nivelēšanas, ģeoīda virsmas slīpuma. Esošā pieredze rāda, ka AR tiek novērota kā kļūdu avots visās DZK mērījumu kampaņās, ierobežojot novērojumu precizitāti. Testa mērījumu veikšana dažādos vides apstākļos ar divām tuvu esošām DZK un meteoroloģisko sensoru tīklu dos iespēju izpētīt anomālās refrakcijas fenomenu un sniegt rekomendācijas AR ietekmes mazināšanai.

IN JANUARY, TWO NEW POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH PROJECTS ARE BEING STARTED AT THE INSTITUTE OF GEODESY AND GEOINFORMATICS:

"Reconfigurable space object optical tracking system of GGI – implementation stage", project supervisor, senior researcher Dr.sc.ing. Diana Haritonova. The project objective is to install and configure the optical tracking system of the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics (GGI) and start its exploitation using for positional astrometric observations. The project will facilitate radical changes in the development of the optical system, bring new knowledge and skills to the post-doctoral researcher.

"Investigation on accuracy improvement of automated zenith camera's VESTA deflection of vertical measurements", project supervisor, senior researcher Dr.sc.ing. Inese Varna. The project objective is exploring the potential of new automated digital zenith camera (DZC) VESTA (VErtical by STArs): 1) by testing it in various environments for investigation of anomalous refraction effect; anomalous refraction is the main limiting factor of ground-based astrometric observation’s precision, causing irregular angular displacements of observed stars; 2) performing accuracy analysis in test site over 2 years to estimate spatio-temporal properties of measured gravitational deflection of vertical (DoV) values.
