Abstract

[It has been pointed out that GPS results in mountain areas are usually less accurate than those in flat areas, especially in the vertical component, when the height difference among observation stations is large. It is thought that the decrease of accuracy is caused by insufficient corrections for tropospheric delay of the GPS microwave.]
