My attempt to answer Gregg's post involved talking to one of our GPS engineers, which, predictably, was like drinking out of a fire hydrant. This led to going to Trimble's web site <www.trimble.com>, which was far more informative --- as opposed to acquiring <data> --- and effective. The answers are that, yes, ionization and water droplets can effect GPS error rates, but that there are a lot of good workarounds on contemporary equipment. But take the tutorial on Trimble's web site --- easy to understand, and, unlike engineers, you can hang up on it if you've had enough.
