Errors in Long Distance Kinematic GPS

Oscar L. Colombo

Abstract:	Recent advances in precise navigation with differential GPS have very important implications for geophysical and oceanographic exploration, bringing otherwise inaccessible regions within reach of remote-sensing aircraft. Long distance navigation presents problems that increase with distance from the reference receiver: unresolved ambiguities, the effect of tropospheric refraction, and GPS ephemerides errors. The work presented here is an attempt to quantify the contribution of these sources of uncertainty to the overall error in estimated aircraft position over very tong distances.
