Abstract
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is promising technology for zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) retrieval. With the emergence of new multi-GNSS frequencies and maturity of precise point positioning ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) technology, opportunities and challenges have arisen in high-precision GNSS-ZTD retrieval. However, certain strategies have usually been adopted, such as the traditional dual-frequency combination of American global positioning system (GPS) technology, for ZTD retrieval, but the influence of AR on ZTD retrieval has been ignored. To address this issue, in this study, the GNSS-ZTD retrieval performance of all existing dual-frequency combinations was first comprehensively evaluated by raw observations. Then, the influences of AR and system combinations were analysed with popular dual-frequency combinations. Finally, La Niña occurred during the GNSS data period considered in this article, and the effect on GNSS-ZTD retrieval was examined. The results of this study could not only provide a reference for GNSS-ZTD retrieval but also provide insight into the relationship between La Niña occurrence and GNSS-ZTD retrieval performance.
