Author: AC Coordinator / AIUB/CODE Ultra Rapid IGS Orbit Combination - Week 1087 Day: 2 Hour: 00 (Nov 07, 2000) Contacts: T.A. Springer (springer@aiub.unibe.ch) H. Bock (bock@aiub.unibe.ch), R. Dach (dach@aiub.unibe.ch) COMBINATION STRATEGY: For a complete description of the combination strategy along with all tables and statistics, please refer to the IGS Final Combination reports posted on CDDIS within 11 days after the end of the GPS week. REMARKS on IGS Ultra Rapid Orbit Combination: 1. The following non-Ultra-rapid orbits were excluded from the combination but kept for statistics: -> Centre: COU 2. Centre clock weights were determined using the following satellites: PRN list | Ref. Centre ----------+------------ All | USU (see note below) Note: A chosen reference centre is aligned to the broadcast GPS clocks using all satellites; all other centres are then aligned to that reference centre. The clock weights are computed from the absolute deviation of centre's aligned clock corrections with respect to the unweighted mean. 3. Starting on 04-June-2000 (GPS Week 1065, day 0, MJD 51699) all IGS products, including the IGS combined orbits, are based on the IGS realization of the ITRF97 reference frame (IGS97). For more information see IGSMAILs #2899 and #2904. _______________________________________________________________________________ Table 1: Daily transformation of each centre to the combined IGS orbit and clocks. WRMS - RMS weighted by the centres SP3 header accuracy codes. STA - Number of stations in the daily solutions. Units: meters, mas, ppb, nano-sec, nano-sec/day.

The last column gives the IGS resulting satellite accuracy measures found in the IGS SP3 header. Eclipsing satellites are flagged with and "E" beside the PRN number. "X" stands for excluded from combination but included in IGS orbit. "MEDI" stands for median of the centre's satellite RMS. Units: cm.
