Impact of terrestrial reference frame realizations on altimetry satellite orbit quality and global and regional sea level trends: a switch from ITRF2008 to ITRF2014

<p>A terrestrial reference frame (TRF) is a basis for precise orbit determination of Earth-orbiting satellites, since it defines positions and velocities of stations, the tracking data of which are used to derive satellite positions. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the Internationa...
