 igs12P1671.snx  Combined weekly solution
 igs12P1671.erp  Daily Earth Rotation Parameters
 igs12P1671.sum  This file
 igs12P1671.itr  Residuals between AC solutions and IGS08 for the RF stations
 igs12P1671.res  Residuals between AC solutions and combined weekly solution
 
 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 name 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 are inverted by adding
      minimal constraints.
 3-4) The weekly AC solutions are combined. The 7-parameter singularity is
      avoided by using internal constraints. Iterations are performed until no
      residuals exceed 2 cm or 5 sigma.
 3-5) The combined solution is compared to IGS08 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-parameter
      transformation estimated using the IGS08 core network.
 3-6) The AC solutions NOT used in the combination are compared to the combined
      solution in order to identify and remove outliers.
 
 4) Remarks:
 ===========
 
      mit = mit16717.snx
      mig = mit1671g.snx
 
      ITR = IGS08.snx
      igs = igs12P1671.snx (weekly combined solution)
      IGS = IGS12P03.snx   (cumulative solution)
 
      The following solutions are not used in the combination but only for
      comparison:

 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.

 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 2 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 2 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 8 sigma.

      AC solutions are checked versus station logs. Station logs are gathered
      from the following sources:
