• constant coordinates from the “Station coordinates” file that has to be specified in panel
“GPSEST 1.1: Input Files 1”,
• positions for each epoch from a “Kinematic coordinates” file that may be selected in
panel “GPSEST 1.2: Input Files 2” (see Section 10.4.4), or
• positions for each epoch from a “Standard orbit” file for LEOs that may be selected in
the Section “LEO INPUT FILES” of panel “GPSEST 1.2: Input Files 2”.
For technical reasons it is necessary to include each kinematic station in the “Station coordinates”
file that has to be specified in panel “GPSEST 1.1”, even if kinematic positions are
provided as input. Coordinates in the file may be zero.
Site displacements due to solid Earth tides as well as ocean tidal loading (as soon as loading
coefficients are available) are considered for all types of stations, except for LEOs, irrespective
whether they are static or kinematic. The advantage is that the position differences
between roving and static receivers contain only differential effects.
Two types of constraints may be defined in panel “GPSEST 6.5: Kinematic Coordinates” for
the estimated corrections to kinematic coordinates. Constraints may either be specified
independently for the horizontal and vertical components in the local system or a single
value may be defined for all three geocentric coordinate components.
If the a priori positions for the kinematic station are gathered from the kinematic coordinates
file, coordinates are constrained only for those epochs that are labeled with flag K indicating
a valid position estimate. The kinematic positions for the other epochs are computed but
without constraints. Relative constraining between epochs is not supported.
Kinematic coordinates can be estimated as any other parameter without any preelimination.
In that case the number of parameters may become very large, however. There-
