accuracy of GPS data collected by roving receivers.
Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) is used to
discriminate satellite signals. GPS signals are RHCP.
Root Mean Square (RMS) is a measurement of
precision also applicable for horizontal stations.
Probability for RMS is 68.3%, meaning that if 100
observations are made, 68 of t
