Session Notes for R1 (Rapid Turnaround Monday) session: r1501 Prepared by C. Thomas, NVI, Inc./GSFC Refer to http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/program/descrip2011.html#r1 for the session purpose. =========================================================== ----- Parameter listing -------------------------------------- Experiment: R1501 Description IVS-R1 Scheduler: NASA Correlator: BONN Start: 2011-276-17:00:00 End: 2011-277-17:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2011276 (2011.76) ( 15838 MJD, MON. 3OCT.) Greenwich sidereal time: 17:48: 0.00 (17: 0: 0 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 12h 37.3m -4d 0.8 =========================================================== Important Station Information Yarragadee was scheduled as a regular station in this session because the station only picked up one scan per hour when it was tagged along to the schedule file. A test was done to compare the simulated EOP results of a schedule made with Yarragadee and then removed with a schedule made without Yarragadee. The results are as follows: Database X offset/rate Y offset/rate UT1 offset/rate Nutation Psi/Eps $11OCT03NY 42.23 83.33 43.66 87.09 1.91 4.93 60.80 23.60 $11OCT03RY 42.66 92.37 44.38 94.63 1.96 4.99 64.40 26.00 NY: Made without Yarragadee RY: Made with Yarragadee and then removed =========================================================== There are no observations for Wettzell from 18:15 U.T. to 19:45 U.T.
