Tropospheric Corrections to GPS Measurements Using Locally Measured Meteorological Parameters Compared with General Tropospheric Corrections,

Abstract

At the Technical University Graz (TVG), Austria, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been used for time transfer purposes since the early 80's and from that time on local meteorological parameters are recorded together with each measurement (satellite track). The paper compares the tropospheric corrections (delays) obtained from models usually employed in GPS receivers and those using locally measured meteorological parameters.
