PRODUCTS GENERATED:
The following products are generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC
   MIT0824T.SNX   Combined sinex file from all available analysis centers
   MIT0824T.SUM   Name of this summary file
   
1.0 Analysis Procedures:

(1) Each centers sinex solutions are de-constrained before
 combination.  Due to numerical stability different new constraints
 are applied to different centers (see center report below):
 
(2) Covariance matrices from each center are re-scaled to generate
 unit increment in chi square per degree in the tight constraints.
 The values are are based in the chi**2 per degree of freedom increment
 when the loosely constrained solution is constrained to the ITRF1993
 coordinates of the 13 core sites.  Orientation changes are estimated
 in this step, but translations and scale are NOT estimated.
 
(3) The tight solution is generated with the following constraints on
 the core sites

Earth rotation parameters are estimated for center (even when not given
in the original SINEX files.  In this case the partial derivatives are
computed from the station coordinates).

(4) Individual Center comments:
EMR: (a) Constraints loosened to +-5 m for positions
JPL: (a) Constraints not changed.  No constraints given SINEX file but
     appear to be about 1 meter of the core sites.
GFZ: (a) Constraints loosened to +-5 m for positions.
COD: (a) Constraints loosened to +-0.5 m for positions: Looser constraints
     generate non-positive definite covariance matrices.
SIO: (a) Constraints not changed since the center's constraints are 
     extremely weak.
     (b) Some site names changed to bring into accord with IGS naming conventions
NGS: (a) Constraints loosened to +-0.1 m for positions: Looser constraints
     generate non-positive definite covariance matrices.
     (b) Earth rotation parameters have the wrong units and we preprocess these
     files to remove the EOP parameters.
     (c) The following ties are 'removed'            
     TSKB_GPS  -26.306   -38.284     2.761 XYZ
     AREQ_GPS   18.615    -0.548    21.499 XYZ 
     MAS1_GPS    3.120    -0.845    -9.563 XYZ
     The values here are not the same as those in the SINEX file which
     appear to be incorrect
     
(5) When the combined and center solutions are compared to ITRF93, the
heights are given a variance 10 times larger than the horizontal coordinates.
The same variance ratio is used when the RMS to ITRF93 core sites is
computed.

(6) Starting Week 0823, we show the differences in the coordinates for
four non-core sites, in remote areas, that are processed by all centers.
These sites are not used in the RMS calculations or the transformation
estimation to the 13 core sites.
