Real-time PPP Time Transfer Can be Improved Using Predicted Tropospheric Products

Recently, a research team from the National Time Service Center (NTSC), Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed a novel real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) time transfer method augmented with predicted tropospheric products derived from the Global Forecast System (GFS). The proposed approach significantly improves the convergence speed, time link precision, and short-term stability of real-time PPP time transfer, providing a new solution for high-precision time synchronization applications.
