Subject: [DORISMail] No 0191 : SINEX Version 2.00 ****************************************************************************** DORISMail 27-May-2002 10:59:36 Message No 0191 ****************************************************************************** Author: Daniela Thaller Subject: SINEX Version 2.00 Dear colleagues, after an intensive discussion about our proposed new format definition of SINEX, the final version SINEX 2.00 is available now. The detailed format description, a summary of the changes from version 1.00 to 2.00 and a summary of the important least squares adjustment formulas with their connection to the individual SINEX blocks are accessible via the web site of the IERS Analysis Coordination http://alpha.fesg.tu-muenchen.de/iers/ or via our ftp server ftp://alpha.fesg.tu-muenchen.de/iers/sinex/format/ A new format definition became necessary because different implementations of SINEX (originally for IGS purposes) existed from the ILRS and the IVS, and for the combination activities starting soon within the IERS (by the Combination Research Centres) a unique format definition for all space geodetic techniques is needed. All implementations were merged with the SINEX version 1.00 and were discussed intensively. We want to thank all people who were contributing to this discussion, especially the IGS Reference Frame Working Group chaired by Remi Ferland, the ILRS Analysis Coordinator Ron Noomen and the ILRS Analysis Working Group, the IVS Analysis Coordinator Axel Nothnagel and Zuheir Altamimi from the ITRF section of IGN. With their contributions and advice we created a SINEX format definition that is hopefully accepted by all Analysis Centres of each space geodetic technique.
