An improved velocity determination method based on GOCE kinematic orbit

:A new velocity determination algorithm with combination of remove and restore method, outliers detection method and Chebyshev fitting method with redundant observations is proposed. An optimal selection of number of sampling points is given. The result shows that, when the number of sampling points is 19, the three-dimension (3D) interpolation precision of velocity is superior to 0.1 mm/s, which is above 3 times better than that of Chebyshev fitting method with redundant observations and far better than those of the conventional interpolation methods.
