I don't know what the experimental setup is. However if I were to be using GPS, I would use the GPS system to get a precise time at each end, record the time of the event that should generate the neutrino burst at one end precisely to a clock set by GPS and record the arrival time at the other end.

The observation from the GPS frame is irrelevant if that way the experiment is performed.

I would think the mathematics of GPS timing and calculations would already have the relativistic effects factored into constants. I vaguely recall such things in there, but the whole GPS system is something hard to retain and recall at this point to find references about that.

I read some amount about the calculations in reading a patent some years ago which was to try to use a couple of PC's to do the calculations among other things, and had an analysis of the time required to do the calculations. I need to find it because there were estimates of how long each part of the system calculations took to justify that the scheme would work.

I assumed that if one were solving a multi term equation of readings to arrive at a spatial value from the timing information that the motion of the satellites would have to have had the relativistic effects factored in. So it would not be present in my above description of the experiment.

Comments please!

What an annoying website.

Here's a better source, without all the unnecessary pagination and pablum. http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.2685

and the original one in a more readable form:
