Author: AC Coordinator / AIUB/CODE Rapid IGS Orbit Combination - Week 1095 Day: 3 (Jan 03, 2001) Contacts: R. Weber (rweber@terra.tuwien.ac.at), 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 Rapid Orbit Combination: 1. The following IGR 2-day prediction and IGU Ultra rapid 1-day prediction orbits/clocks were excluded from the combination but kept for statistics: -> Centre: IGP IGU 2. 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. 3. Starting on 5-Nov-2000 (GPS Week 1087, day 0; mjd=51853) all IGS clock products are based on the new clock combination scheme which uses the the clock RINEX files as input if available, otherwise SP3 clocks are used. The navigation solution is still based on the SP3 clocks but this will soon adopt the clock RINEX files as well. 4. Starting on 29-Nov-1998 (GPS Week 986, day 0; mjd=51146) all IGS clock products reflect the use of the following antenna phase center offsets (satellite fixed reference frame): Block II/IIA: 0.279 0.000 1.023 X, Y, Z in meters Block IIR : 0.000 0.000 0.000 X, Y, Z in meters _______________________________________________________________________________ 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.
