2、 October 2009; published 3 April 2010.[1] Within analyses of Global Positioning System (GPS) observations, unmodeledsubdaily signals propagate into long‐period signals via a number of different mechanisms.In this paper, we investigate the effects of time‐variable sat
3、ellite geometry andthe propagation of a time‐constant unmodeled multipath signal. Multipath reflectors atH = 0.1 m, 0.2 m, and 1.5 m below the antenna are modeled, and their effects on GPScoordinate time series are examined. Simulated time series at 20 global IGS sit
