Description

The CDDIS archive of laser ranging products consists of solutions derived by ILRS analysis centers in support of the ILRS. These products include station positions and velocities of sites in the ILRS network, and EOPs (polar motion and rates, length-of-day) that support the creation of the SLR and International Terrestrial Reference Frames. ILRS analysis centers deliver the station position/EOP product to the ILRS data centers, including the CDDIS. The ILRS combination centers retrieve these solutions and produce the combined ILRS A and B solutions (generated by the primary and backup ILRS combination centers, respectively) which are in turn archived in the CDDIS. Prior to 2012, ILRS analysis centers generated the products on a weekly basis; today, these products are generated daily. Station positions and EOP date from 1976 through the present. SLR products are available from the CDDIS in subdirectories by year and date.
