Notes of Nice Meeting, 8. April 2003
Agenda
Karel's Charts
- Minimum Number of Returns per NP
- Status: MOST Stations do NOT use this criteria;
- It SHOULD be used, to avoid noise points, to improve data quality
etc.
- ILRS Governing board should sent 1 more notice to the stations,
to implement it;
- At the October meeting in Koetzting, this should be checked again,
and - in case - some additional action started then ….
- Global Use of Real Time Time Bias Exchange, and Time Bias Prediction
File:
- Availability: YES : just implement it, enjoy it
- Werner Gurtner will send another notice to SLR stations, to encourage
implementation
- MyStationPerformance.Com:
- Van Husson reported about the present status
- New Bias Detection Capabilities / 28 Day Solutions:
- Van Husson reported about this new possibilities;
- Seems to be a quite powerful new technique to detect problems
…
- Needs sufficient data, and for some cases a nearby core station,
but allows significantly better results
- Engineering Data File (EDF: proposal,
format, presentation)
- Each CAL (and each pass) adds a line of parameters to the station
EDF;
- The list of parameters can be individual for each station; whatever
they need and can …
- The format has to be defined, but is not fixed; could be XML,
or indexed, or …..
- Goal: This allows for each station a complete history of hardware
settings, parameters, CAL values, statistics, met values etc.etc.;
- Expected advantages and output:
- Each Station can (automatically) check for consistency,
linearity, jumps etc.;
- Analysis groups could easily cross-correlate any signatures;
- Comparisons between EDF files of similar stations should
identify possible improvement areas by simple comparisons
….
- Some stations (Matera, RGO, Graz, NASA) agreed to check their
possibilities, and to start with such recordings as soon as a
first test format is defined; the goal is to have first results
for the Koetzting meeting in October.
