| Abstract | Precise point positioning (PPP) uses precise satellite orbits, clock corrections and biases derived from a global network of reference stations to enable accurate positioning worldwide. Natural
Resources Canada's Canadian Spatial Reference System (CSRS) PPP is a free Web service offering automated PPP processing. A critical factor limiting the adoption of PPP in many applications is the convergence time needed to reach centimeter-level
accuracies. To address this issue, CSRS-PPP now implements PPP with ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR). This feature required the development of new algorithms, such as sequential normal stacking for least-squares filtering/smoothing, and the weighted
integer decision concept for ambiguity validation. New satellite product lines (ultra-rapid, rapid, final) also have been deployed to enable PPP-AR processing with various latencies. This analysis demonstrates that sub-centimeter horizontal
accuracies can be obtained in less than one hour for both static and kinematic modes. Using product lines with longer latencies is beneficial, although improvements are typically within the reported uncertainties. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The Canadian Geodetic Survey of NRCan provides tools and services for accurate access to the Canadian Spatial Reference System (CSRS). This access can be
achieved, for instance, using global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). For improved accuracy, augmentation data in the form of precise satellite orbit and clock products, among others, is typically provided to GNSS users. This positioning
methodology is often referred to as precise point positioning (PPP). This article describes NRCan's CSRS-PPP service version 3 and, more specifically, the algorithms supporting the underlying software. |
