GTSs to Correlators and VSOG
What: The Time Components File contains information on certain corrections used in the detailed production of each TCF; for example, the troposphere delay variation, ionospheric delay variation, and the station clock variation relative to UTC. At present, only the GBTS and the DOTS will produce this file.
How: The file format is described in ``Time Components File for Space VLBI''. File names are of the form YYMMDDHHMM.tcX[.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 within 7 days of the tracking pass to the VSOG and the correlators.
Where:
For DSN GTSs: The files 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.
