Minimum Return Per Normal Point Study Group

   

Jaguar Team

"MINIMUM RETURNS / NORMAL POINT"

Note: This was a study group of the DFP WG that was disbanded on 21 September 1999 during the 2nd Data Formats and Procedures Working Group Meeting held in Florence, Italy.

TASK

To determine whether ILRS NPs formed from 1, 2, 3 or 4 raw returns suffer a significant rate of rejection in analysis.

INVESTIGATORS

  • LAGEOS I & II - Eanes
  • Etalon I & II - Appleby
  • ERS I & II - Gendt
  • Starlette, Stella - Dunn
  • GLONASS, GPS - Springer
  • WESTPAC -  Glotov

CONCLUSIONS

The Jaguar Team concluded that useful data would be lost if a limit was placed on the minimum number of returns required to form a normal point. So, this team's recommendation is "That the ILRS makes NO RESTRICTION on the minimum number of returns used to generate normal points."
