Comparing clocks and coordinates with COMP

February 13th, 2009 by Ricardo PĂ­riz

Last December we introduced the new module COMP to compare satellite orbits. As from today you can also compare satellite clocks and station coordinates using COMP.

As in the case of orbits, clocks from ODTS (estimated and predicted) can be compared to IGS products (only rapid and final clocks, but not ultra-rapid ones yet, sorry). IGS rapid and final clocks are automatically downloaded and stored on the magicGNSS server. Rapid IGS clocks have a latency of around 2 days and final clocks have a latency of nearly two weeks. When comparing with IGS clocks, COMP tries always to choose the final IGS clock, and if it is not available it chooses the rapid one instead. (more…)
