INFORMATIONS TO PRODUCT GENERATION

  The calculation of the 7-day ephemerides file is described below.

            Day of GPS Week 652        [Day 0=Sunday; Day 6=Saturday]
  Arc No.   0   1   2   3   4   5   6    
       0     XXXX----
       1         XXXX----
       2             XXXX----
       3                 XXXX----
       4                     XXXX----
       5                         XXXX----
       6                             XXXX----

   XXXX : The first day of the 2-day arc is used for ephemeris
          dissemination
   ---- : The second day is used for quality control by overlap

   The pole coordinates are estimated for three epochs (beginning
   of each day) with the 2-day arc's. Using the above described 
   method (one day overlaps) there are three solutions for each
   pole parameter. The submitted ERP-results are the mean values
   of these different solutions.

-  GFZ06527.CLK
   ============

   Description of the clock parameter file (e.g. GFZ06527.CLK):

   This file contains the clock parameter of all available
   stations and satellites for each epoch related to a fixed
   reference clock (if possible, the maser based clock at Fairbanks 
   is taken as reference). For each epoch the file consists of the
   following informations:

   (1) header record 
      
       column  format variable  meaning
        6-14   F9.2   DATE      date related to J2000.0

       46-49   A4     REFCLK    4 Char. station ID of reference clock
       58-60   I3     NCLK      number of clock corrections for 
                                specified epoch

   (2) data record 

       (ID(I),CLOCK(I),I=1,NCLK)
       format: (4(A4,F12.6,1x))

       with  ID ...     4 Char. ID for station clocks
                        PRN No. for satellite clocks

                        reference clock

   Examplary three epochs of this file are listed below.

>From:    Yehuda Bock
Subject: Onsalo problems
         ---------------

We have found the ONSALA data of day 204 and first 8 hours of
205 are bad. It appears that the receiver had a hardware problem,
which caused the satellite clocks being modeled as a big slope.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Because Deep Space Network (DSN) data for the week have been delayed, results
are current only through July 16. The remainder of the week will be included in
next week's submission.

As mentioned in last week's .sum file the NANUs (151-92196 and 155-92197)
regarding prn 24 on Jul 14 and prn 25 on Jul 15 were confirmed. It looks like
prn 12 is behaving properly again.

WARNING: We recommend against using prn 24 on Jul 14.
WARNING: We recommend against using prn 25 on Jul 15.

The following table contains our pole position measurements:
