Antenna Height • true vertical distance • measured in meters ARP MARK

CORS B How are OPUS-S Positions Computed? • NGS PAGES processing software • Ionospheric-free solution • Tropospheric scale height adjusted • Fixed ambiguities • Average of 3 unique CORS ties • ITRF & NAD83 coordinates/errors CORS A + CORS C
Is Your Solution Good? • > 90% observations used • > 50% ambiguities fixed • < 3 cm overall RMS • check ephemeris type • check antenna info • < 5 cm peak-to-peak errors …and which CORS were used? … resubmit later for better CORS scenario & ephemeris
