PROJECT INTRODUCTIONPROJECT INTRODUCTION
• Background:Background:
– For NDGPS to meet higher accuracy demands, For NDGPS to meet higher accuracy demands, tropospheric delay modeling (along with other error tropospheric delay modeling (along with other error handling) must be significantly improvedhandling) must be significantly improved
– NOAA has developed a conventional / GPS tropospheric NOAA has developed a conventional / GPS tropospheric model model
• Objectives:Objectives:
– An independent, extensive analysis of NOAA modelAn independent, extensive analysis of NOAA model
– Analysis of improvement in GPS data processing resultsAnalysis of improvement in GPS data processing results
– Analysis of how data can be delivered and appliedAnalysis of how data can be delivered and applied
