Subj: EMR Analysis Report (week 704)
-------------------------------------
					          (Jul 04 - Jul 10,93)

      Our analysis utilizes the JPL GIPSY/OASIS II (UNIX) software system 
and data from all (up to 7) Canadian stations augmented by up to 12, globally 
distributed, core stations (see Table 1 for the list of stations).  

      This effort is a part of a joint pilot project  called 
"Active Control System" and involves the Geodetic Survey Division  (GSD),
SMRSS; the Geophysics Division and Pacific Geoscience Centre of the
Geological Survey of Canada, all three institutions are part of the  
Department of Energy, Mines & Resources (EMR).

particular station is not included in the daily solution, either due to
being down or data being late).

SOLUTION CHARACTERISTICS

Reference frame and orientation:
      Nominally ITRF91, at epoch 1992.5 is realized by constraining up to 12 
of the above stations at the IGS coordinates (see IGS message #90). 
Orientation is realized through the above coordinates and, once a week, 
the fixed DUT1 values from the current NEOS/IERS (Bull. A).

Constants and models: 
- no change, see the IGS mess. #101 for details.

Estimation strategies:
- no change, see the IGS mess. #101 for details - , except for the estimation
  of DUT1, stochastic orbit modeling, new weighting of L3,P3,
  see IGS mess. #130.

      ALGO was used as time reference.                           
      Aposteriori variance factors typically are between 0.5 and 1.0 (noise 
about 3mm and 200mm for phase and smoothed pseudorange observations, resp.). 

PRODUCTS GENERATED:
The following products are generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC
   EMR07040-6.EPH       GPS ephem. files for days 0-6, week # 704 in sp3 format 
   EMR07047.ERP        	pole x,y and DUT1 solutions for week # 704
   EMR07047.SUM		name of this text summary file 

REMARKS on EMR's products:
1. ALGO hydrogen maser used as a time reference. In the sp3 EPH file sat.
   epochs with no reference (e.g. ALGO not observing a satellite) have a value 
   of 99999. microseconds. 
   ALGO clock error & drift were about - 28 ns (49172) & 19 ns/day w.r.t.
   GPS time.  
2. Modelling problems on jul07 with PRN12 (GPS10), errors of 4.2 m and on
   jul09 errors of 2.5m for PRN7 (GPS37) and 13 m for GPS10.
