Realization ITRF2000 IGS Subset Products - Stations: - Coordinates - Accumulated Coor./Vel. - Daily ERP’s - Apparent Geocenter - Transformation Parameters ITRF Subset IGS Realization and Dissemination of ITRF Weekly Analysis - IGS Subset aligned to ITRF Subset to ensures maximum Internal consistency and stability of the products. Used during the Orbit Combination process performed at CODE, to ensure consistency between the products.

Final Remarks • Cumulative solution: • over 5 years of data • +- 2700 weekly solutions • 270 stations • 167 Stations submitted to ITRF. • Comparison of IGS cumulative and ITRF2000: • Position RMS ( H = 1mm , V = 3mm ) • Velocity RMS ( H = 2mm/y , V = 5mm/y ) • IGS realization of ITRF uses a subset of the IGS cumulative solution to improve internal stability and consistency.
Final Remarks (Cont.) • Redundancy and Robustness in the Analysis. • Station and Satellite Position Statistics show similar improvement trends. • Contribution (see: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/): • All Agencies responsible for the installation and maintenance of the tracking stations. • Data Centers • Global (gsfc, sio, ign) Regional ( …..) • Analysis: • AC (cod, emr, esa, gfz, jpl, ngs, sio) • GNAAC ( jpl, mit, ncl) • …….
