Abstract:
Modernized GIPSY software has been used to construct terrestrial reference frames based on the sinex files submitted as input for ITRF2014 from DORIS, GPS, SLR, and VLBI along with ties between the techniques. We have built one frame from the official IDS, IGS, ILRS, and IVS combined files and another from the IGN, JPL, ASI, and GSFC individual center files. These two frames will be compared to each other and to other versions of ITRF2014 as they become available. In addition, some performance metrics resulting from use of new GIPSY frames will be presented.
