The 2013 Balearic campaign GNSS position analysis of the 2013 will be performed with different softwares by different groups (similarly as it is being done in
the International GNSS Service for their different products), in order improve the high demanded accuracy for JASON2 and SARAL altimeters precise calibration.
In particular JPL GIPSY-OASIS software will be used, with the undifferenced PPP ambiguity fixing strategy. In order to improve the results accuracy, two similar
networks are being processed. The first network includes the deployed GNSS receivers and the reference stations. The second one is a control network, defined
by using the permanent receivers in the California dense network with a similar distribution as the main altimeter campaign network. In this case, the position of
the receivers plying the role of buoys are being processed in the same kinematic way than the actual buoys, in order to compare them with the very accurate
positions obtained with GIPSY-OASIS static processing.Postprint (published version
