Short-term Stability of GNSS Satellite Clocks and its Effects on Precise Point Positioning

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) requires the availability of precise orbit and clock corrections for all satellites used. Unfortunately, only two Analysis Centers (AC) of the International GNSS Service (IGS) make GLONASS clock corrections available. Both products consist of tabular clock values with 5 minute intervals, which is not dense enough for many kinematic PPP applications. Thus, mathematical interpolation of the satellite clock corrections is required.
