STRATEGY UPDATE

Global Analysis and Point-Positioning
--------------------------------------
Beginning with the analysis of day 263 (Sep 20), we include data from no
more than 32 stations in the solution which yields global parameters.
The sites are chosen in the following way:  First, we define a set of
"global sites" to consist of the IGS fiducials.  From the list of
available stations not in the global sites set, we determine the site
with maximal distance to the nearest global site.  The set of global
sites is then expanded to include this site.  The procedure is
continued until we have 32 global sites.  (We have chosen 32 based on
the current status of the global network, and may increase it as new
sites become available.)

Sites not in the "global" category are then analyzed, each in turn, by
fixing the values of satellite parameters and earth orientation to those
determined in the global solution.  This "precise point positioning" is
very efficient, in that it does not require simultaneous analysis of data
from different sites.  Up to 17 sites were analyzed in this manner on days
263-267 (Sep 20-24).

GPS Yaw Attitude Model
----------------------
Also beginning day 263, the new GPS yaw attitude model has been added
to the measurement models.  A yaw-rate parameter is estimated twice
per revolution, once for the midnight turn and once for the noon turn
(if any).  For shadow events longer than 19 minutes, all measurements
are discarded from the shadow exit until 30 minutes thereafter.
Stochastic X and Y accelerations are also estimated for the eclipsing
satellites every hour with correlation time constant of 4 hours and 10%
a-priori sigma. (Days 264 and 265, Sep 21-22, were processed with X, Y,
and Z stochastic accelerations at 1% a-priori sigma.)  To make these changes
more effective, we have also changed our data decimation interval from 7.5
minutes to 5 minutes.

A text file containing the estimated yaw rates is published in the
aforementioned anonymous ftp area under the directory for the appropriate day.
A binary file containing the actual yaw attitudes of the eclipsing satellites
is published in pub/gipsy_products/1994/orbits.  Refer to IGS mail 591 for
background on the GPS yaw attitude model and for location of utilities to
create, read, and dump the GPS attitude file.


GENERAL

Beginning with day 266 (Sep23), we include data from PERT (Perth, Australia).
The solution for this site was obtained via the point-positioning method
described above.  The following nominal coordinates were assumed:

     X = -2368686.7540 m,   Y = 4881316.4660 m,   Z = -3341796.3540 m


WARNING: Data from RCM5 excluded for the entire GPS week 767.
WARNING: Data from MATE excluded on day 261 (Sep 18).
WARNING: Data from CASA, MATE excluded on day 262 (Sep 19).
WARNING: Data from BRMU, CASA excluded on day 263 (Sep 20).
WARNING: Data from CAS1, MATE excluded on day 264 (Sep 21).
WARNING: Data from MAS1 excluded on day 266 (Sep 23).
WARNING: Data from WEST excluded on day 267 (Sep 24).

In the following table, UT1R-UTC are the assumed nominal values from IERS
Bulletin-B predicts; estimated LODR values are also included.  See IGS Mail
Message 97 for details.
