Abstract
Distance-dependent errors due to ionospheric refraction complicate ambiguity resolution and limit the accuracy attainable in GPS baseline determination. This paper presents an approach for modelling these errors from the observations of several permanent GPS-stations surrounding the area of interest. Regional ionospheric correction models are produced epoch-by-epoch and satellite-by-satellite. It is shown that after their application, observation residuals, fractional parts of estimated ambiguities, and single-frequency coordinate errors are greatly reduced, thus improving ambiguity resolution even under disturbed ionospheric conditions, with short observation sessions, in the case of baseline lengths of more than 10 km, and with singlefrequency and dual-frequency data.
