Processing Strategy for the Estimated Parameters

ParameterStrategy
Receiver coordinatesEstimated with process noise equivalent to 100 km/h
Receiver reference coordinatesIGS SINEX positions
Embedded Image and Embedded ImageEstimated as white noise processes
δt12, δt13 δt14, IFBr,3, and IFBr,4Estimated as white noise processes
Tropospheric delayDry: GMF model and mapping function (Kouba, 2009).
Wet: estimated as a random walk process with process noise of 0.05 Embedded Image
Ionospheric delaysEstimated as white noise processes
AmbiguitiesEstimated as constants on each continuous arc
Elevation angle cut-off
Weighting strategyElevation dependent weighting: Embedded Image with σ90 equal to 0.1 m and 0.001 m for the pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements, respectively, and el being the elevation angle. a and b are determined based on a residual and measurement quality analysis and set to 0.15 and 0.85, respectively.
