IDS's first contribution to the realization of the ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame)
was the provision of individual solutions for ITRF2005 by two analysis centers (IGN, LEGOS-CLS).
Previously, DORIS solutions produced by four groups had been included in the ITRF computations:
ITRF94, ITRF96, ITRF97: contributions of CSR, GRGS and IGN
ITRF2000: contributions of AUSLIG, GRGS and IGN
Find below elements about the IDS contribution to the following ITRS realizations:
ITRF2020 | ITRF2014 | ITRF2008 | ITRF2005
The IDS 16 series is the DORIS contribution to the ITRF2020. This product is referenced with a DOI: 10.24400/312072/i01-2021.001 (follow the link to read more).

ITRF2008 Call
Two IDS Analysis Working Group meetings have been organized in March and June 2008 in Paris, Bureau des Longitudes, and an IDS workshop in Nice, 12-14 November 2008. Eight DORIS analysis centers participated including four official analysis centers (IGN; LCA ; GOP ; ESA), and four candidate analysis centers (NCL - University of Newcastle; GAU - Geoscience Australia; INA - Institute of Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, and GSC - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center). All these centers are working to provide SINEX solutions for inclusion in the IDS combined solution that will be submitted to the IERS for ITRF2008.
This is an important step for IDS Analysis centers! Indeed for ITRF2005, only two individual DORIS solutions were included: IGN and LCA. A main goal was to improve the models and processing strategies of the new ACs, to discuss the standards and to get ready for the IDS contribution to ITRF2008.
The IDS Analysis Centers are listed hereafter. Analysis activities are coordinated by F. Lemoine.

(2) Specific recommendation for Jason-1 is to exclude Jason-1 data after 2003 because of the USO sensitivity to SAA (cf AWG-June 2008)
The delivered SINEX are not yet fully compliant with the IERS call for participation requirements. The non compliant items are the followings:
Concerning the last issue, LCA will provide a new SINEX series for which the weekly mean value of the atmospheric loading correction is removed.
The preprocessing of the SINEX solutions is realized per AC series and includes the following steps:
| gop | ina | lca | ign | esa | gau | gsc | ncl | |
| vs ITRF2005 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | t7p-I05 | |

(to be completed)
The weekly combination results from a 7-parameter transformation calculated every week using an IDS ITRF2005 datum . This datum results from a selection of DORIS stations having the best on position (< 1 cm) and velocity (< 2 mm/yr), and included in the week solution to be processed. For each week, the steps are as follows:
Note that at least 3 solutions are needed to generate a weekly combined solution. That is to say that a combination is possible over the 1997.0-2008.8 period.

This document is supplemented by the following files:

IDS for ITRF2004 (Pascal Willis, Laurent Soudarin, Herve Fagard, John Ries, Ron Noomen) Version 1.0 November 15, 2005
This document is supplemented by the following files:
ids_station_breaks.txt [text file]: list of epochs of discontinuities in DORIS stations (in ITRF format)
ids_period_to_delete.txt [text file]: list of DORIS observation periods that should be disregarded (in ITRF format)
ids_core_evolution.mov [movie] evolution in time of the proposed DORIS core network (in one or more movie formats).
The IDS 16 series is the DORIS contribution to the 2020 realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame.
It provides weekly positions of the DORIS stations and daily Earth Orientation Parameters
This series of 1456 weekly SINEX files contains positions of 201 DORIS stations located at 87 DORIS sites from 1993.0 to 2021.0. The series is the combination of ESA 13 (ESA/ESOC), GOP 67 (Geodetic Observatory Pecny) , GRG 43 (CNES/CLS) and GSC 51 (NASA/GSFC) DORIS multi-satellite solutions processed for the realization of the ITRF2020 according to the IDS standards.

DPOD2008
Terrestrial reference frame for precise orbit determination

This work is being conducted by the following indiviuals (by alphabetical order): Donald F. Argus (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA), Luca Cerri (CNES, France), Mike B. Heflin (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA), Frank G. Lemoine (NASA/GSFC, USA), Guilhem Moreaux (CLS, France), Michiel Otten (ESOC, Germany) John C. Ries (UT/CSR, USA), Laurent Soudarin (CLS, France),
Access to DPOD2008 (latest version = 1.14): text format or SINEX format
Differences with earlier versions
In the following Table, we use the following conventions:
- more details can be obtained for any specific station in blue in the left column
- this Table only displays the number of discontinuities (in position and/or in velocities) as well as the number of periods for which data should not be used for precise orbit determination. More details can be obtained in the DPOD2008 file (see above)
- as integrity is an important factor for DPOD2008, coordinates/velocities are first proposed by a member of the group (status is then TBC = To be confirmed). When this information is confirmed by at least another member of the group, is possible using an independent approach, coordinates and velocities are then considered as final (X). Otherwise, when DORIS coordinates and velocities are not yet available, the following convention is used: TBD (To be done).
