COMBINATION STRATEGY:
---------------------

For a complete description of the combination strategy along with all tables 
and statistics, please refer to the IGS Final Combination reports posted on 
CDDIS within 13 days after the end of the GPS week.


PRODUCT FILES:
--------------

The Rapid Orbit files generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC are:

igu14662_18.sp3   IGR GPS ephemeris in SP3 format.
igu14662_18.erp   Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) and their rates as well as
                  Universal Time (UT1-UTC) and Length Of Day (LOD) associated 
                  with IGS ephemerides.
igu14662_18.sum   Combination summary report.

    
REMARKS concerning the IGU Orbit Combination:                                  
---------------------------------------------

 1. The following centre clock solutions, which provide broadcast and/or 
    predicted clock corrections, were excluded from the combination but kept 
    in the combination statistics:
    
             -> Centre: GOU COU 

 2. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because
    they were biasing the weighted average. They were still used for statistics
    computation unless all centres were excluded for the problem satellites in 
    which case they were simply eliminated from the combination and statistics.
    The following table lists the exclusions:
    
                Centre | PRN list
               --------+---------------
                  USU  |  15  15  15  15  15  15

 3. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because
    less than 3 ACs have submitted results for given satellite(s).
    The following table lists the exclusions:
    
                Centre | PRN list
               --------+---------------
                  COU  |  32 
                  ESU  |  29 

 4. Starting on 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400-0, MJD 54044) all IGS products,
    including the IGS combined orbits, are based on the  IGS realization of
    the ITRF2005 reference frame (IGS05). For more information see IGSMAIL #5447.

 5. Starting on 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400, day 0, MJD 54044) the absolute antenna model
    is introduced (IGSMAIL #5272). The antenna phase center offsets and phase center 
    variations are given in the file:

Table 2: Daily fit for each satellite and each centre resulting from weighted
         average combination. 

         The last column gives the IGU resulting satellite accuracy measures 
         found in the IGS SP3 header. Eclipsing satellites are flagged with 
         "E" (or "M" for moon) beside the PRN number. "X" stands for excluded
         from RMS,  WRMS and MEDI-combination statistics but included in IGU

         Units: mm
