On some critical issues of the LAGEOSLAGEOS II Lense-Thirring experiment

Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Sezione di Pisa. Address for correspondence: Viale Unita? di Italia 68, 70125 Bari (BA), Italy Abstract In this paper we deal with the test of the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense- Thirring effect currently ongoing in the Earth’s gravitational field with the combined nodes ? of the laser-ranged geodetic satellites LAGEOS and LAGEOS II. The is- sue addressed here is: are the so far published evaluations of the systematic bias induced by the uncertainty in the even zonal harmonic coefficients J? of the mul- tipolar expansion of the Earth’s geopotential reliable and realistic? The answer is negative. Indeed, if the difference ?J? among the even zonals estimated in dif- ferent global solutions (EIGEN-GRACE02S, EIGEN-CG03C, GGM02S, GGM03S, ITG-Grace02, ITG-Grace03s, JEM01-RL03B, EGM2008) is assumed for the uncer- tainties δJ? instead of using their more or less calibrated covariance sigmas σJ?, it turns out that the systematic error δμ in the Lense-Thirring measurement is about 3 to 4 times larger than in the evaluations so far published based on the use of the sigmas of one model at a time separately, amounting up to 37% for the pair EIGEN- GRACE02S/ITG-Grace03s. The comparison among the other recent GRACE-based models yields bias as large as about 25 ? 30%. The major discrepancies still occur for J4, J6 and J8, which are just the zonals the combined LAGEOS/LAGOES II nodes are most sensitive to.
