IVS Contribution to ITRF2014

The IVS contribution for ITRF2014 consists of a set of SINEX files with combined datum-free normal equations. The normal equations contain station coordinates and Earth Orientation Parameters and are combined from contributions of 9 IVS Analysis Centres.

A data DOI has been assigned to the IVS combined contribution to ITRF2014. Referencing the dataset includes a direct appreciation for the work involved in such a data acquisition effort.

For the IVS contribution to ITRF2014, this appreciation extends to the whole chain of data acquisition: VLBI stations, Correlators, Data Centres, operational Data Analysis Centres, and Combination Centres.

The metadata describing the dataset in detail can be found following the assigned DOI:
