The growing interest of the GNSS community in computing GNSS series using the iPPP (Precise Point Positioning with integer ambiguity resolution) mode with the GINS software and the products of the CNES/CLS analysis center (GRG products) culminated in 2022 with the SPOTGINS project. This initiative enables several research laboratories to cooperate in processing a global network of stations, benefiting from the expertise of the IGS analysis center and the advanced quality of the GRG products.
This standardization and collaboration require a unified computational strategy, involving the same version of the GINS software, identical configurations (products, corrections, models, constellations), and consistent metadata. Currently, daily station positions are computed using GPS and Galileo constellations, using the “G20” orbits and clocks from the IGS CNES-CLS based on ITRF2020, FES2014b ocean tidal loading and VMF1 mapping functions.
SPOTGINS started in 2022 with the collaboration between the OMP in Toulouse, the EOST in Strasbourg and the LIENSs in La Rochelle, whose massive calculations with GINS were already being done for several years. In 2023 and 2024, other groups expressed interest in joining SPOTGINS: the GeF/Cnam in Le Mans, the IPGP/IGN in Paris and the OSUG/ISTerre in Grenoble. Each member pursues different scientific objectives, but all contribute collectively to the dissemination of PPP series for the community through the Geodesy Plotter of the FormaTerre data and service hub.
