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:

igr14000.sp3   IGR GPS ephemeris in SP3 format.
igr14000.clk   IGR GPS satellite and station clocks in RINEX format.
igr14000.cls   IGR GPS clock combination summary report. 
igr14000.erp   Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) and their rates as well as
               Universal Time (UT1-UTC) and Length Of Day (LOD) associated 
               with IGS ephemerides.
igr14000.sum   Combination summary report.

    
REMARKS concerning the IGR Orbit Combination:                                  
---------------------------------------------

 1. Broadcast ("brd") orbits/clocks are included in the combination for
    statistics only.  However broadcast clock corrections are used for clock 
    alignment to GPS time and centre clock weight determination purposes.

 2. The following center solutions (orbits/clocks) were excluded from the
    combination but kept for statistics:
    
               -> Centre: IGA IGU 

 3. The following centre clock solutions, which provide broadcast clock
    corrections, were excluded from the combination but kept in the
    combination statistics:
    
               -> Centre: NGS 

 4. The following clock solutions were excluded from the combination because
    they were biasing the combined clock solutions (clock shifts/outliers)
    but were kept for the RMS computation.
    
               Day | Centre | PRN/STA list
               ----+--------+---------------
                0  |  EMR   | 29
                all|  ESA   | all
                all|  JPL   | all 
                all|  USN   | all 

 5. 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:
    
               Day | Centre | PRN list
               ----+--------+---------------
                0  |  SIO   |  28

 6. 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.
    At the same time the absolute antenna model is introduced (IGSMAIL #5272).

 7. Starting on 5-Nov-2000 (GPS Week 1087-0; mjd=51853) all IGS clock products
    are based on the new clock combination scheme which uses the the clock
    RINEX files as input if available, otherwise SP3 clocks are used.
    The navigation solution is still based on the SP3 clocks but this will
    soon adopt the clock RINEX files as well.

 8. Starting on 29-Nov-1998 (GPS Week 986-0; MJD 51146) all IGS clock products
    reflect the use of the following antenna phase center offsets
    (satellite fixed reference frame):
    
        Block II/IIA: 0.279 0.000 1.023  X, Y, Z in meters
        Block IIR   : 0.000 0.000 0.000  X, Y, Z in meters

Table 2: Daily fit for each satellite and each centre resulting from weighted
         average combination. 

         The last column gives the IGR 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: cm.
