Subject: Wk 0803-807 IGS Final Orb.
*******************************************************************************
IGS Final orbits/clocks completed and put onto CDDIS (Weeks 803 - 807)
(May 28 - July 1, 1995)
*******************************************************************************
According to the recommendations of the Analysis Centre Workshop the IGS
Rapid Orbits were recomputed using up to date orbits and the final EOP values
of Bulletin B, published by IERS. ( Daily values, page 2 of Bull. B )
The EOP were corrected for the difference between the IERS pole series
and ITRF as published in the IERS 1993 Annual Report (p. II-19, Table II-3),
so both the IGS orbits and the associated ERP files are consistent with ITRF93
(current epoch).
We have downloaded all the submitted ephemeris and ERP files from CDDIS before
the final orbit/clock combination to ensure that the sets are complete and up
to date. In the final combination we have largely followed the actions taken
during the Rapid orbit generation and since there were very few orbit
resubmissions, both the IGS Rapid and Final orbits are virtually the same
except for the orientation difference (IGS mean pole and Bull.B). Orbit
evaluation are also nearly the same, since we used centre specific ERP in the
long arc evaluations. For more information see the corresponding summary files
on CDDIS.
Starting with the GPS week 742 a new clock combination scheme was put in place
for the final orbit/clock combinations. The clock solution alignment and centre
clock weight assignment are based on non-SA broadcast satellite corrections
only (PRN12, 15, 28). This should result in more realistic and objective clock
weighting than employed before, provided that the non-SA satellites are
representatives of centre clock solution quality. Starting with the GPS
week 756 the new IGS erp format (see IGSMAIL# 662) is used by all Analysis
Centres and for the IGS erp files. ERP rates, whenever given, are also utilized
in both orbit combination and the long arc evaluation.
PRODUCTS GENERATED:
The resulting final IGS ephemeris and clocks are in daily files in the SP3
format. The sat. orb. accuracy codes displayed in the headers are based on
weighted RMS for each satellite. Note that each file contains all the submitted
satellites. If satellite or centre had to be excluded from the combination it
is noted in the summary file along with the reason for doing so.
The IGS FINAL ORBIT files generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC are:

REMARKS/CORRECTIONS:
************* NOTE: ***************************
-Since Wk 803 the IGS Rapid combinations are performed directly in ITRF frame,
without any EOP alignments. The associated erp files (IGR0WWW7.erp) contain
weighted avaverages of all submitted erp solutions given at 12h UT each day
(using the orbit weights), augmented with the current IERS Bull.A UT1-UTC.
Consequently, since Wk 803, the IGR erp contain 7 daily EOP values at 12h UT,
unlike the Final orbit erp (and the Rapid orbit erp prior Wk 803) which
contain 9 daily IERS EOP values at 0h UT to facilitate accurate interpolation
during the whole week period.
