<b class="">GipsyX</b> has now replaced GIPSY-OASIS as JPL's (Jet
Propulsion Laboratory) flagship GNSS data analysis software. This
course will cover the fundamentals of using the <b class="">GipsyX</b>
software package to perform static and kinematic precise point
positioning of terrestrial stations from GNSS data. The class will
be presented using hands-on processing of GNSS data by each
participant, with an emphasis on GPS data. Class presentations
will walk through specific examples to derive GNSS-based
observations of station position, clock, and troposphere. At least
one exercise using combined Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, and GPS data
will be presented. The presentations will be centered around <b
class="">GipsyX’s</b> primary user interface for GNSS-based
precise point positioning, along with a discussion of the core
software and analysis tools. Strategies and options for achieving
optimal positioning accuracy with GipsyX will be discussed,
including data editing, troposphere modeling, antenna calibration,
loading, and GipsyX’s single receiver ambiguity resolution
capability using JPL’s GNSS orbit and clock products. Participants
will have an opportunity to process both course-provided data and
samples of their own data (should they choose to bring their own
data, e.g. RINEX files).<br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"

will be given to licensed GIPSY users, a GIPSY license is not
required of participants. Since class size is limited, confirmed
participants should be committed to attend the class.<br>
