High speed train (HST) is an excellent platform to perform ultra-high spatial and temporal resolution observations of atmosphere using global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). However, we find that signal attenuation caused by HST window glass is a major barrier for HST-based GNSS applications inside HST chambers. A field experiment is conducted to analyze the effect of HST glass on GNSS signal propagation. In the experiment, GNSS observations are collected and analyzed from a receiver covered with an HST window glass and one with an open-sky view. The size of the HST window glass is 670 mm × 720 mm, with a thickness of 34 mm. The window glass is a double-glazing glass in which each layer has an actual thickness of 6 mm, and the two layers are separated by an air gap of 22 mm. The experiment results indicate that HST window glass can cause significant degradation to GNSS signals and even loss of tracking of the signal. Based on statistical results, HST window glass causes 39%, 56%, 49%, and 59% loss in GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BDS signals, respectively. Additionally, up to 20 dB-Hz of carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0) degradation is also observed in the remaining observations. The significant signal attenuation and loss further lead to the decrease in the number of tracked satellites and occurrence of more cycle slips. The results of the study indicate that 44–230 cycle slips are detected for the HST glass-covered receiver whereas the receiver without glass does not exhibit more than 16 cycle slips. Additionally, the number of GNSS satellites tracked by the HST glass-covered receiver is reduced by 65% owing to the loss of signal. Furthermore, GNSS positioning performances from two receivers are also tested. With respect to GPS + GLONASS static precise point positioning (PPP), HST glass causes a degradation of 1.516 m and 1.159 m in the single-frequency and dual-frequency three-dimensional positioning accuracy, respectively. With respect to the GPS + GLONASS kinematic PPP, the accuracy degradations for single-frequency and dual-frequency kinematic PPP are 2.670 m and 4.821 m, respectively.
