Schmidt, R. Koenig, GFZ Subject: CHAMP IRV set no. 1000 GFZ predictions & IRV format Dear colleagues, presumbly during this weekend (December 8th/9th, 2001) the IRV set number 1000 of the CHAMP predictions provided by GFZ will be reached. This turnover to a 4-digit IRV set number might cause problems at stations using formatted reading of IRV files provided by GFZ. The format of the IRV set number specified in file http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/tirv_format.html is ´nno ... IRV sequence number (I3)´. In order to represent 4-digit IRV set numbers GFZ will use an additional digit to the left of the original format, e.g. see ´NNNN´ DSIDP CHMP.ORB.PRD IRVS A 011205 GFZ_FITXYZ_950221_IRVS 2001 12 5 0 0 0.0 -2823237.121514 -6007570.781896 -1571753.072104 8002 NNNN 1 -837.443835941 -1525.289444062 7423.094426611 -127 206 0 11088.0 -10402560.975514 5060.361146608 In the DRAG function files all entries are space-separated and are supposed to be read format-free anyway. Kind regards, Roland Schmidt Rolf Koenig From: Roland Schmidt ********************************************************************************
