 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) Constrained AC solutions are unconstrained according to the information
      given in their SOLUTION/APRIORI blocks and then minimally constrained.
      AC solutions given in the form of a normal matrix (esa) are inverted by
      adding minimal constraints.
 3-4) The weekly AC solutions are combined. The 7-parameters singularity is
      avoided by using internal constraints. Iterations are performed until no
      residuals exceed 5 cm or 5 sigma.
 3-5) The combined solution is compared to IGS05 propagated at current week
      (datum). Some outliers may be removed from the datum. Finally, the
      combined solution is aligned to the datum using a 7-parameters
      transformation.
 3-6) The AC solutions NOT used in the combination are compared to the combined
      solution in order to identify and remove outliers.
 3-7) The weekly combined solution is added to the cumulative solution.
      Iterations are performed until no residuals exceed 3 cm or 3 sigma in the
      weekly solution.
 3-8) The updated cumulative solution is compared to IGS05 (datum). Some outliers
      may be removed from the datum. Finally, the cumulative solution is aligned
      to the datum using a 14-parameters transformation.
 
 4) Remarks:
 ===========
 
      mit = mit15767.snx
      mig = mit1576g.snx
 
      ITR = IGS05.snx
      igs = igs10P1576.snx
      IGS = IGS10P12.snx
 
      grg, mig, ncl are not used in the combination.
      They are only used for comparison.
 
      Solutions with manual station deletion:
 
      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:
 =============================================
      At each iteration, the variance factor for solution s is estimated by :
      VF = (vs'*Ps*vs)/fs   with fs = nobss - tr(As*Q*As'*Ps)
                                 vs : residuals of solution s
                                 Ps : weight matrix of solution s
                                 nobss : number of observations of solution s
                                 As : design matrix of solution s
                                 Q : total covariance matrix
      This variance factor is used to rescale the covariance matrix of solution s
      for the next iteration.
 
      Another scale factor is computed for each solution s, by comparing it to
      the official cumulative solution of previous week (IGS) :
      SF = (vs'*Ps*vs)/(3*nstas)   with vs : residuals of the comparison
                                        Ps : weight matrix of solution s
                                        nstas : number of common stations

 ====================================================================
      No Satellite phase center ... 
 
 5-7)      Outliers:
 ===================
      Outliers may be rejected at different stages of the processing:
        - During the combination (stage 3-4)), outliers may be removed from the
          weekly AC solutions. Thresholds are set to 5 cm and 5 sigma.
        - During stage 3-6), outliers may be removed from the AC solutions NOT
          included in the combination. Thresholds are set to 5 cm and 5 sigma.
        - During the stacking of the weekly combined solution on the cumulative
          solution (stage 3-7)), outliers may be removed from the weekly
          solution. Thresholds are set to 3 cm and 3 sigma.
