Ferland, M. Piraszewski =============================================================== Combined AC solution for GPS week 1543 - 09/08/02 to 09/08/08 =============================================================== 1) Contacts: ============ e-mail: rferland at nrcan.gc.ca Tel: (613)995-4002 (Remi Ferland) Fax: (613)995-3215 2) Products: ============ All products are available at: CDDIS (cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov) and SOPAC (garner.ucsd.edu) igs09P1543.snx Combined weekly solution. igs09P1543.erp Daily Earth Rotation Parameters. igs00p03.erp Daily Earth Rotation Parameters since GPS week 860.

IGS09P31.res Residuals between the AC and the Cumulative Combined solution. Where IGSyyPww & igsyyPwwww represent: yy Last 2 digits of the year ww week in year yy wwww GPS week P GPS technique used 3) Combination Strategy: ======================== The AC solutions are processed using the following procedure: 3-1) The AC solutions are checked/corrected for possible format problems, station names inconsistencies, etc... 3-2) The AC solutions are unconstrained according to the information provided in the SOLUTION/APRIORI Block. 3-3) The AC solutions are aligned (using a 7-parameters) and compared to the IGS05 stations at the current epoch. ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/coord/IGS05.snx 3-4) The AC are compared to IGS05, to each other, to the previous week solution and to the cumulative solution in order to identify and remove outliers. 3-5) The weekly AC solutions are combined and added to the cumulative combined solution. The cumulative combination is done to ensures 14 parameters singularity. The weekly combined solution is aligned to the IGS05 of the current epoch using a 7-parameters transformation. The singular cumulative combined solution is aligned to the IGS05 of the reference epoch using a 14-parameters transformation and the 132 ITRF station positions and velocities. The IGS05 is a realization of ITRF2005. For more details, see: Blewitt, G., C. Boucher and J. Kouba, 1997, Procedure for ITRF continuous realization, the report of the IGS GB, presented to the IGS Governing Board Meeting held in San Francisco, Dec. 11. Kouba, J., J. Ray and M.M. Watkins, IGS Reference Frame Realization, 1998 IGS Analysis Center Workshop Proceedings, European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany. The combination software was developed at NRCan. 4) Remarks: =========== ITR = IGS05.snx igs = igs09P1543.snx IGS = IGS09P31.snx MIT = mit15437.snx mit = mit1543g.snx BuA = IERS Bulletin A grg mit ncl are used to quality control the weekly combination. gfz excluded from the geocenter estimation (Sec. 5-4).

The main changes are: 1) Correction of the pole position from IGb00 to IGS05 using the transformation in: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsmail/2006/msg00178.html 2) Marginal ERP's in GPS week 1161 were replaced by reprocessed values. 5) Results: =========== 5-1) AC (Variance Factor)^0.5 estimates: ============================================= The residuals used in the estimation of the Variance Factor are the differences between the cumulative combined solution and each AC weekly solution.
