Abstract:
As a consequence of a dail y data processing strate gyan ad jacent IGS final precise clockproduct dis pla ys discontinuit y at the junction of two successive days.This will cause a jump in positioning results for the pseudo-rangeand change all the related ambiguities.These non-inte ger cycle sli ps will re quire filterin g to make them converge.In this paperthe magnitude of the jump of every satellite for a seven day cycle is investi gated in detail.Thenbased on the full discussion of the data processing strate gy of the IGS centerthe reasons for discontinuit y and the precision of the final clock product are presented.Two counter measures are proposedone is to insert the jump in the satellite clock datum into the IGS clock productthe other is to estimate the clock datum for ad jacent days.Finall y the results of the two processing strate gies are presented.
