Abstract
The International GPS Geodynamics Service (IGS) intensive campaign period (July 26-August 8, 1992) intended to produce a data set comprising data from all space techniques monitoring variations in the Earth’s Orientation Parameters (EOP). Due to the mid-August launch of the TOPEX/POSEIDON oceanographic satellite the global laser tracking network has intensified its activities, in most cases doubling the periods of tracking. This resulted in a temporally and spatially better distributed Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data set which can support the determination of higher resolution EOPs. The LAGEOS SLR data collected during this period have been analyzed using the GSFC GEODYN II software to determine daily and high resolution (6 hours) EOP series. The results from this analysis are discussed and compared to the independently derived series from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to assess their accuracy.
