[IGSMAIL-8442] GipsyX 2024 Course - UPDATE

[Rui Fernandes]

(Our apologies for multi cross-posting. Please, disseminate among your colleagues)
(please, also apologize the incorrect links in the first email - consequences of 
c&p - GipsyX Course was first organized in 2018)

A three-day *GipsyX* course will be offered at the Space and Earth Geodetic 
Analysis Laboratory (SEGAL), University of Beira Interior, in Covilhã, Portugal 
between September 4-6, 2024.

This course will cover the fundamentals of using the *GipsyX* 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 *GipsyX’s* 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).

User resources such as the GIPSY Forum and GIPSY Licensing will also be highlighted.

Prerequisites:
1) Working experience with Unix/Linux operating systems. GipsyX consists of 
software modules that are executed on the Unix/Linux command line.
2) General knowledge of the fundamental principles of the Global Positioning 
System and usage to perform precise positioning.
3) General knowledge of geodetic phenomenon that affect station motion and GNSS 
measurements.

Instructor: Members of JPL’s GIPSY Team
Language: Class will be in English

Date and Location:
The class will be held for three days, September 4-6, 2024, at the Space and 
Earth Geodetic Analysis Laboratory (SEGAL), University of Beira Interior, in 
Covilhã, Portugal. More information on the location and registration information 
is available at https://segal.ubi.pt/gipsy2024/

Registration Information:
An application to participate in this class must be submitted by July 5, 2024. 
See https://segal.ubi.pt/gipsy2024/index-3.html for the registration process. 
Confirmation of participation will be provided 2-3 weeks after the registration 
deadline.
Participation in the class is then limited to those applicants that receive a 
confirmation of participation. The class will be limited to no more than 25 
participants. While preference 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.
