Lab 12: Differential GPS Corrections
Due: November 25, 2003
Given:
Warning:
These are real data. There are unfortunately zero values
in the RINEX file for the P1 and/or P2 data. You can
trap these bad values by only using satellite data
that are between 16,000 and 30,000 km. Use P1 and P2 to
form P3, not C1 and P2.
Directions
- Calculate updated station coordinates for your RINEX file, but
instead of computing lat/long/ht, translate deltaX, deltaY, deltaZ
into East, North, and Vertical. Use the transformation matrix on
my website.
- Do use a troposphere model, with a wet zenith delay of 5 cm .
- You do not have to iterate on your nominal coordinates. The values
in the RINEX header are good enough for what you need.
- Make a plot of east, north, vertical as a function of time (minutes
since midnite).
- Pick up my differential east, north, vertical corrections and
plot your values minus my values as a function of time.
- What is the RMS values for each of your components? Also
compute the RMS values for the differences.
- Can you explain why sometimes your coordinates disagree
with mine?
Turn in: plots, software and answers to questions.
