EUROPE-132 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.132) 2014 Nov.27-28 doy 331-332 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2014-331-1200 UT Nominal end time: 2014-332-1200 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== Sm=CRIMEA 6a=DSS65A Eb=EFLSBERG Nt=NOTO Ny=NYALES20 Sv=SVETLOE Wz=WETTZELL Purpose ======= The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their evolution in the southern part of the European geodetic VLBI network with the highest precision possible. Schedule ======== The schedule was optimized for local sky coverage. Scans are scheduled to have scan length purely according to SNR limits. The sky coverage for all stations were optimized. The minimum SNR on all baselines is at X band and at S band set to 25. Comment ======= For different reasons we have DOWNTIMEs Sv 2014-331-20:00:00 2014-331-22:00:00 6a 2014-331-12:00:00 2014-331-16:00:00 6a 2014-332-10:50:00 2014-332-12:00:00 Session Notes for session: eur132a =========================================================== Experiment: EUR132 Description EUROPE-132 Scheduler: IGG/am Correlator: BONN Start: 2014-331-12:00:00 End: 2014-332-12:00:01 Current yyyyddd: 2014331 (2014.91) ( 16989 MJD, THUR 27NOV.) =========================================================== First observations Observation listing from file eur132.skd for experiment EUR132 Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Sm 6a Eb Nt Ny Sv Wz 0059+581 14331-120000| 18 18 18 18 18 18| 0059+581 14331-160147| 18 18 18 18 18 18 18| Last observations 0800+618 14332-104824| 279 47 19 161 279 84 194| 1923+210 14332-115539| 160 18 157 160 60 115| =========================================================== Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 4.2 Min = 0.0 Max = 40.0 (Baseline Sm-Ny on 1351-018) RMS = 7.0 Total time: 1438 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
