It is one of the three "pillars" of high-end geodetic software, alongside GAMIT/GLOBK (from MIT) and GIPSY-OASIS (from JPL). Key Features and Capabilities
The deepest contribution of Bernese is not to any single solution, but to . The software is built for reprocessing —re-analyzing decades of raw GNSS data with a single, consistent, updated set of models (satellite antenna calibrations, Earth orientation parameters, tidal displacements). This yields a velocity field of thousands of stations, stable to 0.1 mm/year. This is how we know Greenland is losing ice, how tectonic plates are moving, and how the Earth's center of mass (the geocenter) wobbles relative to the crust. bernese gnss
Bernese excels at accounting for atmospheric delays (ionosphere and troposphere), Earth rotation parameters, and ocean tide loading—all factors that can "blur" GNSS measurements. It is one of the three "pillars" of
