Characterization of site-specific GPS errors using a short-baseline network of braced monuments at Yucca Mountain, southern Nevada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We use a short-baseline network of braced monuments to investigate site-specific GPS effects. The network has baseline lengths of ∼10, 100, and 1000 m. Baseline time series have root mean square (RMS) residuals, about a model for the seasonal cycle, of 0.
