Comparison of GNAAC Combined SINEX Solutions - Week 0995   
(JAN 31, 1999 - FEB 6, 1999)

Contacts: D. Hutchison ([email-masked])

COMPARISON ALGORITHM:

   1. MIT and NCL GNAAC  combined  SINEX  solutions  for the week in question
      were deconstrained. The JPL SINEX file is already unconstrained.

   2. Any station  present  in  only one  GNAAC combined SINEX files was  de-
      leted  from all three combined solutions.  Every solution was then sub-
      jected to a 7-parameter transformation  into  a common reference system
      (the  positions  of  the ITRF96 RS47 station set expected at mid-week).  
      Station coordinates  with  ITRF96 transformation residuals in excess of 
      55 mm. from ITRF96 after transformation  were  excluded from subsequent 
      analysis of this combined solution,  and the 7-parameter transformation 
      was reapplied.

   3. Outliers are determined at the 99.0% confidence level for each coordin-
      ate.  If a station  has  an outlier in either latitude,  longitude,  or
      height, it is ignored in all subsequent computations.

    *** THIS ALGORITHM AND FORMAT WILL SHORTLY BE SUPERSEDED. ***
