Evaluation of spatio-temporal characteristics of different zenith tropospheric delay models in Antarctica

Zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) is one of the main error sources in space geodetic techniques, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite altimetry. To qualitatively and quantitatively determine the most suitable model for Antarctica, we analyze the accuracy and applicability of nine models (UNB3m, EGNOS, GPT2 + Saastamoinen, GPT2w + Saastamoinen, GPT3 + Saastamoinen, GPT2 + Hopfield, G...
