Error Sources and Analysis
GPS error analysis which is found in Error analysis for the Global Positioning System is an important aspect for determining what errors and their magnitude are to be expected. GPS errors are affected by geometric dilution of precision and depend on signal arrival time errors, numerical errors, atmospherics effects, ephemeris errors, multipath errors and other effects. Variability in solar radiation pressure has an indirect effect on GPS accuracy due to its effect on ephemeris errors.

What damned error but some sober brow
Will bless it, and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?”
