Abstract

To estimate the repeatability of baseline determination, the observed data series acquired from five IGS stations have been processed “day-by-day”. The individual stages of the experiment were already reported in [1], [3] presenting the results of the analysis of observation time series up to 315 days and discussing different processing strategies. This presentation summarizes the results of the analysis of the period of 585 days. In addition to it an attempt has been made to determine on the basis of the long-term observations the ITRF 93 coordinates of the newly accepted IGS station Pecný (GOPE) and to do the first assessment of its drift within the Eurasian plate.
