How are the daily products computed from 3B42RT and Version 6 3B42 in TOVAS?
These daily products are computed by averaging all the estimates available in the eight observation times of a given UTC day, namely 00, 03, …, 21 UTC. Formally, this “day” covers the period from 2230 UTC of the previous day through 2230 UTC of the given day. Other “day” products can be computed interactively for 3B42RT and Version 6 3B42 by specifying similar 8-period runs of data. For example, a day that starts at 09 UTC can be approximated by taking data from 09 UTC of one day through 06 UTC of the next. At present, there is no capability in TOVAS for a more exact approximation of a “day” for these data sets.
