  "definition": "A stationary global positioning system (GPS) receiver that records satellite signals at a known location to provide corrections for mobile receivers. It establishes a reference point for differential GPS measurements, improving the accuracy of position data collected by roving receivers. The corrections account for atmospheric delays and satellite clock errors, reducing positioning errors from meters to centimeters.",
