International Atomic Time is an international time standard derived from 200 atomic clocks in 50 national laboratories from around the world. The readings from these clocks are used to form the standard for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which governs global time-keeping. Atomic clocks represent the top-level stratum of the NTP hierarchy.
