Abstract
Integer ambiguity resolution is able to improve positioning accuracy and reduce convergence time in Precise Point Positioning (PPP). Although significantly improved horizontal positioning accuracy has been demonstrated, the height solution improvement is found to be less significant, and improving this requires further investigation. In this paper, a troposphere constraint method using precise troposphere corrections is proposed to improve the PPP ambiguity-resolved height solution. This is different from the conventional approach that typically applies meteorological data to calculate the a priori troposphere delay and estimates the residual troposphere delay. The effects of the troposphere delay on PPP ambiguity-resolved height solutions are first studied. Numerical analysis is conducted to ambiguity-resolved positioning results based on the decoupled clock model and hourly Global Positioning System (GPS) observations from a Canadian PPP-inferred troposphere precipitable water vapour system. The results show that by using the proposed method the PPP ambiguity-resolved height accuracy can be further improved to 3·86 cm compared to 5·32 cm using the conventional approach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
