natural. One is a variable amount of signal lag produced as the GPS
signals pass through the ionosphere, which partly refracts radio
waves. This can be largely compensated for by a technique called
-"Differential GPS" or DGPS, in which your receiver takes timings both
-from satellites and ground stations. The ground stations are in a
-known fixed positions, so they can compute the exact distance to
-satellites from an ephemeris. Thus, they can measure the for the
-ionospheric lag and tell nearby GPSes how to correct ranges for it.
