This precision can be achieved for 24-hour data sets when applying a proper modeling. Precise levelling with GPS requires a judicious modeling of tropospheric delays, which has physical, functional, and stochastic aspect. Modeling aspects : The physical modeling comprises zenith delays for the hydrostatic and wet component and zenith angle dependent mapping functions. Because the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere fluctuates widely and because the water-vapor aspect induced signal delays affect the height component strongly, a-priori modeling of these delays results in an insufficient precision of height differences. Parameterizing the tropospheric delay in the functional model is therefore necessary, at least for medium and long baselines. The observation model can further be strengthened by pseudo-observations. These pseudo-observations may be spatiotemporal constraints on tropospheric delay differences, or constraints on residual slant delays. With the latter type of constraint the isotropy assumption is loosened. An existing theoretical model is revised to obtain the corresponding covariance matrix. The stochastic modeling of both types of constraints is based on the assumption of Kohnogorov turbulence. Filtering : The observation models can be implemented in a recursive filter like the Kalman Filter or the SRIF Several variations of these filters are described. For fast computations the most suitable recursive filtering technique is the Kalman-Cholesky Filter with pre-elimination of temporal GPS parameters, such as clock errors and ionospheric delays. Some tests and reliability descriptions are worked out for this filter. For practical implementation the temporal behavior of the zenith wet delay is to be assumed a random-walk process, which gives a fair description. The zenith wet delay can be estimated every epoch or every pre-defined batch of epochs. Impact of model components : The effect of several model components on mainly the height is analyzed by simulation software. Special attention is given to the residual-slant-delay model because it is potentially precision and reliability improving. The impact of this model does however depend on the precision level of the observations and it still needs to be validated. Although observations to low-elevation satellites have a large contribution to the precision of the height, the residual-slant-delay model implies a strong down weighting of observations to satellites below ten degrees elevation. The highest accuracy can be obtained when the phase ambiguities are fixed. Even for long observation time spans this makes a difference of up effect on the formal precision of the height, but they have, a large influence on the precision of the filtered zenith delays. Because overconstraining (with constraints that are too tight) can have a large precision-deteriorating effect, spat iotemporal constraints are not recommended for GPS leveling. Further, short batches are preferred to avoid biases. To prevent the presence of near rank deficiencies, the zenith delays of one station are often fixed. From a precision point of view this is not necessary and is not recommended because this can also introduce biases. Even larger biases can be introduced when the zenith delays of all stations are fixed to their a-priori values. For very short baselines (< ±1 kin), this model is however justifiable because the formal precision improves considerately, keeping the effect of the biases in balance. to 15-20%. Batch size and spatiotemporal constraints turned out to have little effect on the formal precision of the height, but they have, a large influence on the precision of the filtered zenith delays.
