  • combinations: weekly GLOBK processing results. Weekly orbits, repeatabilities, positions and more, in GAMIT/GLOBK format.]
  • hfiles: the official GAMIT solution exchange file. ASCII file, with coordinates,orbits and the full variance-covariance matrix. Can be used as pseudo-observations into the GLOBK package.
  • products: sp3 precise ephemeris orbits, sinex files, analysis summary files, earth orientation files and clock files derived by a variety of analysis centers as well as the official IGS products.
