GTSs to Correlators and VSOG
What: A time correction (or `delta-t') file will be constructed from the phase residual file for each tracking pass. These files will be made available on a per-pass basis. This data product is used for correcting the time-tags for the VLBI tape data.
How: The file format is given in ``Time Corrections File Interface''. File names are of the form YYMMDDHHMM.kcX[.v], where the time refers to the time at the start of the file, and the X is the single letter code for the GTS.
When: File will be made available to the VSOG and the correlators within 7 days of the tracking pass.
Where:
For DSN GTSs: The full TCFs will
be placed in pub/vsop/vsopoper/data/srt/dsn/delta_t on the DOTS FTP site.
For the GBTS: The files will be available in the GBTS FTP site
in directory /ovlbi/out.
