A method for generating satellite clock corrections for a WADGPS network
computers satellite clock corrections after removing other substantial
error components. Errors caused by the ionosphere refraction effects are
removed from GPS measurements taken at reference stations using
dual-frequency GPS measurements. The multipath noise are removed by
smoothing of GPS pseudorange code measurements with carrier-phase
measurements. The tropospheric refraction effect can be largely removed
by modeling, and if desired, can be improved by the use of small
stochastic adjustments included in the computation of the clock
correction. After removing the above error factors, satellite clock
corrections are computed for individual reference stations, and an
average clock correction is formed for each of a plurality of satellites
by taking an average or weighted average of the satellite clock
corrections over reference stations to which the satellite is visible.
