JPL TIME SERIES |
Time series are given as three ascii files SITE.lat, SITE.lon, and SITE.rad containing the time in years, estimate in cm, sigma in cm, site, component, and date. Stacov files contain X, Y, Z estimates in m, sigmas in m, and correlations.
Col Comment 1: time [in years] 2: estimate [in cm] 3: sigma [in cm] 4: site 5: component 6: date

TABLE2.TXT |
There is metadata about the GPS sites,
corresponding to the file names in ./point and ./filtered, in the files ./table.txt
and ./table2.txt.
It looks like the distinction is that table.txt contains cartesian coordinates
for each station, while table2.txt has this expressed in latitude
and longitude (in a particular reference frame system). (Jay W. Parker)
> 2) Are columns of .lat, .lon,.rad relative postion with respect to > table2.txt positions in cm, then uncertainty (1-sigma uncertainty?) also > in cm? Yes, the columns of .lat, .lon, and .rad are relative to the position in table2.txt which has an epoch of July 1, 2003. The positions and velocities in table2.txt were estimated by fitting all the data for a particular site. > > 3) so table2.txt has height in mm above ellipsoid (essentially like sea > level ?) and errors (1 sigma?) are in mm for all types. What are these > estimates and errors based on? (is this the average postition over the > data we collected at some point, with "error" based on the error of each > day's position over root-N?) Yes, the height estimates are given relative to the WGS84 reference ellipsoid. The dailt formal errors have been multiplied by 3 so that chi^2/dof is roughly 1 for each site when doing a linear fit.
#The reference frame is ITRF2000. The epoch is July 1, 2003.
#The reference ellipsoid for latitude, longitude, and height is WGS84.
#Latitude and longitude are given in degrees. Height is given in mm.
#Latitude, longitude, and height errors are given in mm.
#Velocities and their errors are given in mm/yr.

# NOTE: The decimal year values are calculated for each datapoint # by dividing the decimal day by 365 (or 366 if it's a leap # year) and adding this to the year. Zero begins at the # beginning of the day. Positions are generally taken at # noon each day, although newer datapoints may be subdaily. # Site Code: AGMT # Decimal_Year Time Stamp North_(mm) North_error_(mm) East_(mm) East_error_(mm) Up_(mm) Up_error_(mm) Double_Diff_Obs Phase Bias_Flag1 Bias_Flag2 Troposphere North_East_rho North_Up_rho East_Up_rho X X_error Y Y_error Z Z_error 1999.970318 1999-355:03:59:00 3851017839.9000 3.0000 22319997874.5000 3.7000 1337846.0000 17.6000 -2339956199.2000 7.5000 -4707748860.1000 13.2000 3601666097.0000 10.0000 1999.970320 1999-355:04:00:00 9000.0000 1999.973057 1999-356:03:59:00 3851017841.8000 1.6000 22319997874.2000 2.9000 1337834.5000 9.5000 -2339956194.8000 4.5000 -4707748850.5000 7.1000 3601666092.0000 5.5000 1999.973059 1999-356:04:00:00 3700.0000
