Proposal for long station names in SINEX format Paul Rebischung Unified Analysis Workshop, Paris, July 2017 Good morning. So I’m going to talk about systematic errors in the daily IGS terrestrial fram solutions, which as you know, are the IGS input to the ITRF.

Motivation Increasing number of redundant 4-char GNSS station IDs
Example from DOMES database: 9-char station IDs are now used by the IGS, EPN… 4-char site ID + 2-digit station ID + 3-char country ID Used to identify RINEX 3 files Adopted or proposed in all IGS product formats: SINEX Bias format v1.00 SINEX Tropo format v2.00 RINEX Clock format v3.04 Except « legacy » SINEX format… DUND A 19117M001 Dundee, United Kingdom DUND A 50212M003 Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND DUND00GBR A 19117M001 Dundee, United Kingdom DUND00NZL A 50212M003 Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND We’ll first review the geocenter motion time series derived from these IGS daily solutions, then their scale. And then I’ll talk about errors in the individual station position time series. And finally, I have two topics that could be of interest for this workshop, but I’m not sure I’ll have time to cover them in 15 minutes: The predictive quality of the ITRF2014 post-seismic deformation models after 2 years and a half of extrapolation, And a comparison of the I, D and JTRF2014 polar motion series with geophysical data.

Solution 1 Define a 4-char ↔ 9-char correspondence, e.g. in a new block: Backward compatibility No impact outside IGS 4-char IDs become internal SINEX identifiers Each AC free to use their own 4-char IDs Potential source of errors / confusion Cannot simply “grep” a particular station Unclear, complicated to manage and use +SITE/LONG_NAMES DUND A DUND00GBR DUN1 A DUND00NZL -SITE/LONG_NAMES We’ll first review the geocenter motion time series derived from these IGS daily solutions, then their scale. And then I’ll talk about errors in the individual station position time series. And finally, I have two topics that could be of interest for this workshop, but I’m not sure I’ll have time to cover them in 15 minutes: The predictive quality of the ITRF2014 post-seismic deformation models after 2 years and a half of extrapolation, And a comparison of the I, D and JTRF2014 polar motion series with geophysical data.

Solution 2 Replace 4-char IDs by 9(+)-char IDs everywhere in SINEX
Impacts all techniques Backward compatibility Same convention as in SINEX Bias could be adopted: Software could discriminate, based on SINEX version indicated in 1st line: Clear, unambiguous, easy to implement Unanimously preferred by IGS ACs %=SNX 2.02 IGN 16:230:24329 […] %=SNX 3.00 IGN 16:230:24329 […] We’ll first review the geocenter motion time series derived from these IGS daily solutions, then their scale. And then I’ll talk about errors in the individual station position time series. And finally, I have two topics that could be of interest for this workshop, but I’m not sure I’ll have time to cover them in 15 minutes: The predictive quality of the ITRF2014 post-seismic deformation models after 2 years and a half of extrapolation, And a comparison of the I, D and JTRF2014 polar motion series with geophysical data. Read 4-char IDs Read 9-char IDs

Other potential additions to SINEX
Post-seismic (exp/log) parameters Periodic signals Official discontinuity block ? We’ll first review the geocenter motion time series derived from these IGS daily solutions, then their scale. And then I’ll talk about errors in the individual station position time series. And finally, I have two topics that could be of interest for this workshop, but I’m not sure I’ll have time to cover them in 15 minutes: The predictive quality of the ITRF2014 post-seismic deformation models after 2 years and a half of extrapolation, And a comparison of the I, D and JTRF2014 polar motion series with geophysical data.
