| Summary: | Abstract This study presents an innovative approach to improving the accuracy and reducing the error convergence time of static Precise Point Positioning (PPP) in Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation. The research focuses on the impact of the high spatial and temporal resolution of a regional ionospheric data assimilation model on PPP over Taiwan. The study further evaluates the performance of both static PPP with the ionospheric information using commonly used models such as Klobuchar and International Reference Ionosphere (IRI), as well as a global ionospheric data assimilation model. Compared to the default IRI, the data assimilated IRI model can improve the overall ionospheric total electron content by approximately 83%. Additionally, it can significantly reduce horizontal positioning errors and shorten the error convergence time more than 52% for static PPP, even during geomagnetic storm events. The study concludes that the high resolution of a regional ionospheric data assimilation model can enhance the accuracy and reduce the error convergence time of PPP navigation and positioning. This research provides valuable insights for future studies in this field, especially in the development of more precise and efficient models for correcting ionospheric delay in GPS navigation. |
