The SBASs broadcast messages to correct satellite orbit, clock, and ionosphere errors to augment the GPS positioning performance. In this paper, SBAS orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections are evaluated. Specifically, the orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections derived from SBAS messages are comprehensively evaluated using data collected from the above mentioned systems over 181 consective days. The evaluation indicates that the EGNOS outperforms other systems with signal-in-space range error (SISRE) at 0.645 m and ionospheric correction accuracy at 0.491 m, respectively. Meanwhile, the accuracy of SDCM is comparable to EGNOS with SISRE of 0.650 m and ionospheric correction accuracy of 0.523 m. For WAAS, the SISRE is 0.954 m and the accuracy of ionospheric correction is 0.505 m. The accuracies of the SBAS corrections from the MSAS and GAGAN systems, however, are significantly worse than those of others. The SISREs are 1.931 and 1.325 m and the accuracies of ionospheric corrections are 0.795 and 0.858 m, for MSAS and GAGAN, respectively. At the same time, GPS broadcast orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections are also evaluated. The results show that there are no significant improvements in the SISRE of the broadcast navigation data by applying SBAS corrections. On the other hand, the accuracy of SBAS ionospheric corrections is still much better than GPS broadcast ionospheric corrections, which could still be beneficial for single-frequency users.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11040411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,17]],"date-time":"2019-02-17T22:11:50Z","timestamp":1550441510000},"page":"411","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Evaluation of Orbit, Clock and Ionospheric Corrections from Five Currently Available SBAS L1 Services: Methodology and Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Zhixi","family":"Nie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"},{"name":"Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}]},{"given":"Peiyuan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}]},{"given":"Zhenjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geosciences, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao 266580, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6449-6696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"RTCA (2006).
