Author: AC Coordinator / AIUB/CODE Ultra Rapid IGS Orbit Combination - Week 1207 Day: 5 Hour: 00 (Feb 28, 2003) Contacts: R. Weber (rweber@luna.tuwien.ac.at), 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 13 days after the end of the GPS week. REMARKS on IGS Ultra Rapid Orbit Combination: 1. The following centre clock solutions, which provide broadcast and/or predicted clock corrections, were excluded from the combination but kept in the combination statistics: -> Centre: COU 2. The following clock solutions were excluded from the combination because they were biasing the combined clock solutions. Centre | PRN/STA list -------+--------------- ALL | ngs ALL | cou 3. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because they were biasing the weighted average. They were still used for statistics computation unless all centres were excluded for the problem satellites in which case they were simply eliminated from the combination and statistics. The COU orbit solutions are excluded because they are not official Ultra rapid solutions. They are kept for statistics only. The following table lists the exclusions: Centre | PRN list -------+--------------- COU | ALL 4. The following orbit solutions were rejected from the combination due to lack of redundancy, i.e. not enough centres providing a solution (=> Minimum number of centres: 3): Centre | PRN -------+----- EMU | 7 SIU | 7 EMU | 17 GFU | 17 5. Starting on 02-Dec-2001 (GPS Week 1143, day 0, MJD 52245) all IGS products, including the IGS combined orbits, are based on the IGS realization of the ITRF2000 reference frame (IGS00). For more information see IGSMAIL #3605. _______________________________________________________________________________ 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 RMS, WRMS and MEDIan- combination statistics but included in IGU orbit. "MEDI" stands for median of the centre's satellite RMS. Units: cm.
