Abstract: 

We present our results of reprocessing of archival GPS observations which was performed at the GNSS data analysis centre of the MAO NAS of Ukraine for the observation period from 12 December 1997 to 4 November 2006 (464 GPS weeks) for 31 GPS stations located in the Eastern Europe (12 of them are located on the territory of Ukraine). Homogeneous coordinate solution in the IGS05 reference frame and values of zenith tropospheric refraction for the GPS weeks 935—1399 which are free from effects caused by changes in processing procedures, models, a priori data, and software are obtained for the first time.

Keywords: coordinate values, GPS observations, zenith tropospheric refraction
