    The PRIDE Lab at GNSS Research Center of Wuhan University has developed an open-source software for GPS precise point positioning ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) (i.e., PRIDE PPP-AR). Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html ), PRIDE PPP-AR supports relevant research, application and development with GPS post-processing PPP-AR. PRIDE PPP-AR is mainly composed of two modules, undifferenced GPS processing and single-station ambiguity resolution. Undifferenced GPS processing provides float solutions with wide-lane and narrow-lane ambiguity estimates. Later, single-station ambiguity resolution makes use of the phase clock/bias products, which are released also by the PRIDE Lab at ftp://pridelab.whu.edu.cn/pub/whu/phasebias/, to recover the integer nature of single-station ambiguities and then carry out integer ambiguity resolution. PRIDE PPP-AR is based on a least-squares estimator to produce daily, sub-daily or kinematic solutions for various geophysical applications. To facilitate the usage of this software, a few user-friendly shell scripts for batch processing have also been provided along with PRIDE PPP-AR. In this article, we use 1 month of GPS data (days 001–031 in 2018) to demonstrate the performance of PRIDE PPP-AR software. The PRIDE Lab is committed to consistently improve the software package and keep users updated through our website.
