Abstract

The values of regional tidal parameters h2, l2 associated with the tidal variations of ground stations were estimated for the Polish Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) station Borowiec using SLR data. The study is based on satellite observations taken by the global network of ground stations during the period from January 1, 1999 until January 1, 2019 for monthly orbital arcs of the satellites LAGEOS-1 and LAGEOS-2. The adjusted regional values for h2 equalling 0.7308 ± 0.0008 and l2 equalling 0.1226 ± 0.0003 are discussed and compared with the nominal values of h2 and l2 given in the the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) standards and with other estimations of these parameters. Furthermore, the influence of the tidal parameters changes on estimation of the Borowiec station coordinates in the ITRF2014 reference frame was investigated. The analysis was carried out in two variants. The first one consisted in the determination of the Borowiec station coordinates with the use of the nominal values of the tidal parameters: h2 = 0.6078 and l2 = 0.0847 (IERS recommended values). In the second one, the Borowiec station coordinates were determined using the local tidal parameters estimated in this paper (h2 = 0.7308 ± 0.0008 and l2 = 0.1226 ± 0.0003). The differences between X, Y ,Z for Variant 1 and Variant 2 are −3.5, 3.3 and 4.2 mm, respectively.
