Mathematical models in GPS Review assignment dates (updated on class web page) Paper draft due Mon April 29 Homework 3 due Fri May 03 -Final class is Wed May 15. Oral presentations o papers. Each presentation should be 15-20 minutes, with additional time for questions. · Next three lectures:
Primary research programs Geophysical research GPS analysis packages GAMIT (GPS at MIT): Uses double differences GYPSY: Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) processing packages: Uses one-way observables and explicitly estimates clocks Bernese: Developed at Astronomical Institute
Styles of kinematic GPS Kinematic GPS techniques go by a number of names with features that are often receiver specific Kinematic GPS: Early term which implies that there is no loss of lock while the receiver is moving. In survey mode, if loss of ock occurs the antenna must be returned to a point of know ocation
