3) Combination Strategy:
========================

       The AC solutions are processed using the following procedure:

3-1) The AC solutions are checked/corrected for possible format problems,
     station names inconsistencies, etc...
3-2) The AC solutions are unconstrained according to the information provided
     in the SOLUTION/APRIORI Block.
3-3) The AC solutions are aligned (using a 7-parameters) and compared to the
     ITRF96 Reference Frame (RF) stations at the current epoch.
     ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/coord/ITRF96_IGS_RS47.SNX.Z
3-4) The AC are compared to ITRF, to each other, to the previous week
     solution and to the cumulative solution in order to identify and remove
     outliers.
3-5) The weekly AC solutions are combined and added to the cumulative
     combined solution.

     The weekly combined solution was aligned to the ITRF96 of the current
     epoch using a 7-parameters transformation. The singular cumulative
     combined solution was aligned to the ITRF96 of the reference epoch using
     a 14-parameters transformation and the 47 ITRF station position &
     velocities.

5) Results:

5-1)      AC (Variance Factor)^0.5 estimates:
==================================================
           The residuals used in the estimation of the Variance Factor
           are the differences between the cumulative combined solution
           and each AC weekly solution.
           SF = (Variance Factor)^0.5 = (Chi^2/dof)^0.5
           Final(SF) = Apriori(SF) * Aposteriori(SF)
