Description

A description of the theory and mathematical models behind the application of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in geodesy and geodynamics. The mathematical models for GPS measurements are developed in the first half of the book, followed by the description of GPS solutions for geodetic applications on local, regional and global scales.
