Subject: 7355 URUL updated eccs, site log, and coordinates

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to John Ries´s analysis, we have uncovered
a sign error in the 1st set of Urumqi eccentricities
The original Up, North and East (UNE) eccs in their site
log were given in X,Y,Z.

When I converted these from XYZ to UNE, I assumed
the wrong sign of XYZ since the UP appeared negative,
which now appears correct.

Below are both sets of eccs from Urumqi (7355), with
the 1st set being corrected.

START_EPOCH END_EPOCH UP NORTH EAST
----------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------
20-apr-2001 30-jun-2001 -4.8706 -40.4853 -15.4239
01-may-2003 .9242 3.4911 .6144


Their site log and the eccs files have been updated to
reflect these values.

Below is an updated set of coordinates for 7355 in the
ITRF2000 reference frame based on the most CURRENT 8
Km local tie between SLR and GPS (from their site log),
and the ITRF2000 GPS position/velocity:

X(m) Y(m) Z(m)
184592.113 4606751.203 4393756.561

XDOT(m/y) YDOT(m/y) ZDOT(m/y)
-0.0306 -0.0055 -0.0003

Based on these coordinates/velocities and
Ries´s analysis, the position appears to be good to
the few to several cm level.
