Figure 14.8: Summary for satellite clock validation for session 1390 of year 2003 from<br />

program CODSPP.<br />

the receiver clocks for some of the stations (BRUS, ONSA, and PTBB) can be nicely modeled<br />

assuming a linear behavior of the receiver clock (RMS is below 0.15. ..0.20 m). This<br />

confirms the alignment as well as the consistency between the satellite clock corrections,<br />

satellite orbits, and ERPs. It does not matter if the RMS “explodes” for some stations. The<br />

receiver clocks in Zimmerwald (ZIMJ and ZIMM) can obviously not be represented by a<br />

linear model.<br />

If using the program CODSPP for satellite clock validation purposes only it makes sense to<br />

disable the option “Save clock estimates” in panel “CODSPP 2: Input Options”.<br />

Validation of External Satellite Clocks<br />

Another task may be the validation of the consistency of satellite positions, satellite clock<br />

corrections from an external precise orbit file, and the external ERPs. A precise point<br />

positioning using the program <strong>GPS</strong>EST can be used for this purpose.<br />

As a first step you have to generate a standard orbit from the precise orbit file and to<br />

convert the ERPs into the <strong>Bernese</strong> format following the instructions in Chapter 5. When<br />

you extract the satellite clock corrections with program PRETAB you have to write the<br />

unmodified values (no polynomial fit) into the <strong>Bernese</strong> satellite clock file (set the both<br />

options “Interval for polynomials” and “Polynomial degree” in panel “PRETAB 3: Options for Clocks”<br />

to zero). Specify the “Sampling interval” in panel “<strong>GPS</strong>EST 3.1: General Options 1” according to<br />

the sampling of the satellite clocks (e.g., 900 seconds). The a posteriori sigma of unit weight<br />

in the <strong>GPS</strong>EST run with the observations from any station is expected to be about 1 or<br />

2 mm when introducing the satellite orbits, Earth orientation parameters, and the satellite<br />

clocks if all information is consistent (see Section 7.8.1 for more information).<br />
