Aug 16, 2018 · The new C04, referred to as IERS EOP 14C04, is aligned onto the most recent versions of the conventional reference frames (ITRF 2014 and ICRF2). Additionally, the combination algorithm was revised to include an improved weighting of …

Following the procedure already used for previous ITRF solutions, the ITRF2020 uses as input data time series of station positions and Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) provided by the Technique Centers of the four space geodetic techniques (VLBI, SLR, GNSS and DORIS), as well as local ties at colocation sites. Based on completely reprocessed ...

Mar 1, 2019 · EOP components determined by GPS were relatively more precise than those derived by other techniques, which may be benefited from global coverage of GPS observation stations and the application of minimum constraints about orientation of GPS-based reference frame aligned to ITRF.

Since January 2004 the ILRS official ACs provide every Tuesday individual SSC/EOP loosely constrained solutions, combined and published every Wednesday by the CCs. The individual solutions are based on the analysis of weekly batches of SLR data covering from Sunday to Saturday included.

Step 2: EOP series are made consistent with the ICRF and ITRF. Any reference EOP has to be consistent with the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF).

The EOP connecting an ITRF and an ICRF are composed of five parameters. The two celestial pole offsets provide corrections to a conventional precession-nutation model, two parameters describe the polar motion w.r.t. the Earth’s crust, and one gives the irregularities of …

These series result from a combination of operational EOP series derived from VLBI, GNSS, SLR, and DORIS. The C04 series were updated to provide EOP series consistent with the set of station coordinates of the ITRF 2014. The new C04, referred to as IERS EOP 14C04, is aligned onto the most recent versions of the conventional reference

The new C04, referred to as IERS EOP 14C04, is aligned onto the most recent versions of the conventional reference frames (ITRF 2014 and ICRF2). Additionally, the combination algorithm was revised to include an improved weighting of the intra-technique solutions.

The eop module provides data structures and functions for the updating, loading, and use of Earth orientation parameter (EOP) data. Earth Orientation Parameters are empirically observed, estimated parameters that describe the irregularities in Earth's rotation in space.

The Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) are the parameters representing the rotational part of the transformation between the current releases of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF).
