Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- The European 'Measuring the Impossible' Network MINET promotes new research activities in measurement dependent on human perception and/or interpretation. This includes the perceived attributes of products and services, such as quality or desirability, and societal parameters such as security and well-being. The main achievements so far include on-line consortium databases, research repository; workshops, think tanks, study visits; training course and book. The MINET consortium aims at consensus about how 'generic' metrological issues: Measurement concepts & terminology, Measurement techniques, Measurement uncertainty, Decision-making & impact assessment, can be applied specifically to the 'Measurement of Persons' in terms of 'Man as a Measurement Instrument' and 'Measuring Man'.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The European ‘Measuring the Impossible’ Network MINET promotes new research activities in measurement dependent on human perception and/or interpretation. This includes the perceived attributes of products and services, such as quality or desirability, and societal parameters such as security and well-being. Work has aimed at consensus about four ‘generic’ metrological issues: (1) Measurement Concepts & Terminology; (2) Measurement Techniques: (3) Measurement Uncertainty; and (4) Decision-making & Impact Assessment, and how these can be applied specifically to the ‘Measurement of Persons’ in terms of ‘Man as a Measurement Instrument’ and ‘Measuring Man.’ Some of the main achievements of MINET include a research repository with glossary; training course; book; series of workshops; think tanks and study visits, which have brought together a unique constellation of researchers from physics, metrology, physiology, psychophysics, psychology and sociology. Metrology (quality-assured measurement) in this area is relatively underdeveloped, despite great potential for innovation, and extends beyond traditional physiological metrology in that it also deals with measurement with all human senses as well as mental and behavioral processes. This is particularly relevant in applications where humans are an important component of critical systems, where for instance health and safety are at stake.

Measurements and Error Sources in Time Transfer Using Asynchronous Fiber Network
- 2010
-
Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on instrumentation and measurement. - 0018-9456. ; 59:7, s. 1918-1924

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have performed time transfer experiments based on passive listening in fiber optical networks using Packet over synchronous optical networking (SONET)/synchronous digital hierarchy(SDH). The experiments have been performed with different complexity and over different distances. For assessment of the results, we have used a GPS link based on carrier-phase observations. On a 560-km link, precision that is relative to the GPS link of < 1 ns has been obtained over several months. In this paper, we describe and quantify the different error sources influencing the fiber time transfer measurements. We show that the temperature dependence of the optical fiber is the major contribution to the error budget, and, thus, reducing this effect should be the best way of improving the results.

TIME TRANSFER USING AN ASYNCHRONOUS COMPUTER NETWORK: RESULTS FROM A 500 KM BASELINE EXPERIMENT

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden and STUPI have performed a time transfer experiment over a 500km long baseline between Borås and Stockholm. The time transfer technique passively utilizes the data bit stream generated in an optical fiber computer network based on the packet over SONET/SDH technique. A small fraction of the optical signal is monitored both at the transmitter and at the receiver. When an occurrence of a unique bit sequence of the SDH frames is detected, an electrical pulse is generated and compared with a resolution of 100 ps to a local clock. With data from all four positions of an optical bidirectional link, two-way time-transfer can be achieved and any symmetrical variations in delay can potentially be cancelled. The results presented here have been obtained over OptoSUNET, the new Swedish University Network. In the experiment, 10 Gbit/s traffic from SP over OptoSUNET is extended in Stockholm to STUPI, a clock laboratory which is the second node in this setup. This reconnection enables that a communication channel is established between two nodes, with no intermediate jump. The time-transfer experiment includes more than 500 km of fiber transmission, of which several km is via air-lines. By comparing the results from a GPS carrierphase link, a precision better than ± 1 ns is achieved over several months of measurements between two Hydrogen-masers.

Time transfer using an asynchronous computer network: Results from three weeks of measurements
- 2007

Ingår i: European Frequency and Time Forum, 29/5 - 1/6, Geneva, CH.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have performed a time transfer experiment between two atomic clocks, over a distance of approximately 75 km using an 10 Gbit/s asynchronous fiber-optic computer network. The time transfer was accomplished through passive listening on existing data traffic and a pilot sequence in the SDH bit stream. In order to assess the fiber-link clock comparison, we simultaneously compared the clocks using a GPS carrier phase link. The standard deviation of the difference between the two time transfer links over the three-week time period was 243 ps.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- We summarize an ongoing research project where we assess the quality of time series of the Integrated Water Vapour in the atmosphere estimated from ground-based GNSS data for the application of validating and possibly improving climate models. The focus is on the factors limiting the accuracy and especially the long-term stability of the GNSS technique.Higher order ionospheric corrections have been studied, using realistic values for the Total Electron Content (TEC) close to the solar maximum in 2002. Averaged over ten days we find that the impact in the mean IWV is less than 0.1 kg/m^2. Another factor is the model used for antenna phase centre variations. We have studied this effect on the IWV estimates by simulations and by studying estimates of the IWV based on observed GPS signals. We find that ignoring satellite antenna phase variations, when processing GPS data from 2003-2008, can significantly influence the values of the estimated linear trends. The value depends on the latitude of the site as well as on the elevation cut-off angle used in the data analysis. Finally, we show a significant correlation between estimated linear trends in the IWV and the corresponding linear trends in the independently observed ground temperature.
