Ray (jim.ray@noaa.gov), J. Griffiths (jake.griffiths@noaa.gov) 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. PRODUCT FILES: -------------- The Rapid Orbit files generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC are: igu14663_06.sp3 IGR GPS ephemeris in SP3 format. igu14663_06.erp Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) and their rates as well as Universal Time (UT1-UTC) and Length Of Day (LOD) associated with IGS ephemerides. igu14663_06.sum Combination summary report. REMARKS concerning the IGU 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: GOU COU 2. 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 following table lists the exclusions: Centre | PRN list --------+--------------- USU | 15 15 15 18 18 18 21 21 21 3. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because less than 3 ACs have submitted results for given satellite(s). The following table lists the exclusions: Centre | PRN list --------+--------------- COU | 32 4. Starting on 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400-0, MJD 54044) all IGS products, including the IGS combined orbits, are based on the IGS realization of the ITRF2005 reference frame (IGS05). For more information see IGSMAIL #5447. 5. Starting on 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400, day 0, MJD 54044) the absolute antenna model is introduced (IGSMAIL #5272). The antenna phase center offsets and phase center variations are given in the file: ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/igs05.atx ORBIT COMBINATION AND EVALUATION STATISTICS: -------------------------------------------- Table 1: Daily transformation of each centre to the combined IGU orbit and clocks. WRMS - RMS weighted by the centres SP3 header accuracy codes. STA - Number of stations in the daily solutions.

The last column gives the IGU resulting satellite accuracy measures found in the IGS SP3 header. Eclipsing satellites are flagged with "E" (or "M" for moon) beside the PRN number. "X" stands for excluded from RMS, WRMS and MEDI-combination statistics but included in IGU Units: mm Table 2.1466.3 GPS week: 1466 Day: 3 MJD: 54509.250 Weighted Average PRN | cou emu esu gou siu usu IGU | ------+------------------------------------+ 1 | 68 22 53 14 64 128 19 | 2 | 66 31 49 36 48 109 20 | 3 | 66 22 48 16 67 145 20 | 4 | 66 44 49 21 154 104 27 | 5 | 64 34 86 25 136 193 30 | 6 | 66 29 55 28 72 93 19 | 8 | 82 40 49 30 73 116 22 | 9 | 68 25 77 19 118 107 23 | 10 | 67 37 80 19 50 85 20 | 11 | 99 43 83 34 60 103 25 | 12 | 68 18 101 22 86 183 27 | 13 | 94 29 56 21 65 190 25 | 14 | 89 20 50 29 103 169 25 | 15 | 67 46 54 51 93 501 28 | 16E | 63 30 91 15 57 84 20 | 17 | 70 36 56 32 59 148 23 | 18 | 71 23 54 40 241 619 39 | 19 | 79 33 59 33 80 74 21 | 20 | 73 22 45 20 50 86 16 | 21 | 71 28 58 20 108 424 23 | 22 | 72 20 55 22 111 69 20 | X23 | 88 31 --- 18 61 152 25 | 24 | 77 27 79 20 79 104 22 | 25 | 71 27 64 26 53 124 20 | 26 | 66 25 66 17 62 88 18 | 27 | 80 29 91 47 51 86 24 | 28E | 106 36 88 19 169 97 30 | X29 | 91 --- 72 --- 129 201 68 | 30 | 83 27 57 20 66 181 24 | 31 | 92 35 110 19 49 79 23 | X32 | ---- --- --- --- --- --- 0 | ------+------------------------------------+ RMS | 76 31 69 27 97 207 | WRMS | 76 31 70 28 97 145 | MEDI | 71 29 58 21 67 109 | Table 3: Earth Orientation Parameters daily summary.
