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
IGS05 stations at the current epoch.
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/coord/IGS05.snx
3-4) The AC are compared to IGS05, 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 cumulative combination is done to ensures 14
parameters singularity.
The weekly combined solution is aligned to the IGS05 of the current
epoch using a 7-parameters transformation. The singular cumulative
combined solution is aligned to the IGS05 of the reference epoch
using a 14-parameters transformation and the 132 ITRF station positions
and velocities. The IGS05 is a realization of ITRF2005.
For more details, see:
Blewitt, G., C. Boucher and J. Kouba, 1997, Procedure for ITRF continuous
realization, the report of the IGS GB, presented to the IGS Governing
Board Meeting held in San Francisco, Dec. 11.

The combination software was developed at NRCan.

4-1) Starting with GPS week 1400, the solutions are aligned to the
IGS05.snx realization of ITRF2005.
4-2) Starting with GPS week 1078, UT1-UTC from IERS Bulletin A
is included in the erp files.
4-3) Starting with GPS week 1412, the accumulated ERP file has been
changed from "igs00p02.erp" to "igs00p03.erp". The main changes
are:
1) Correction of the pole position from IGb00 to IGS05 using the
transformation in:
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsmail/2006/msg00178.html
2) Marginal ERP's in GPS week 1161 were replaced by reprocessed
values.
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)
