[time-nuts] A milestone approaches

2017-07-13 Thread Mark Sims
I told Heather to display the time as Unix seconds and to do a screen dump at 
the Magic Moment...  which was duly captured for posterity...   Some poor souls 
are easily amused by such things...  

OK, there was a 1 millisecond delay for the dump to trigger.  Receiver was a 
Thunderbolt.___

Re: [time-nuts] WWVB & Eclipse

2017-07-13 Thread Bob kb8tq
Hi

I think we are both taking it as a given that the eclipse’s impact on the 
ionosphere will
be “visible” even with a fairly simple setup. I guess that might qualify for a 
very loose 
definition of the term “hypothesis” in my case. I can’t speak for Tom.

Re: [time-nuts] WWVB & Eclipse

2017-07-13 Thread Tom Van Baak
The trick is to just run the timing receiver in all-in-view mode collecting 
1PPS data against your house standard as usual, but also capture all the binary 
message(s) where the per-SV Az/El/SNR and phase residuals are reported. This 
allows you to re-create the individual "1PPS" from each SV used in the timing 
solution. Or maybe just use the RINEX data. This is what I was referring to in 
the CORS reference to Brooke.

It would be "cheating" to know the eclipse path ahead of time and mine the data 
for confirmation. Instead I dare you to blindly mine the GPS data for all of 
August and then make a bold claim when and where the eclipse was, like 
capturing a trace through a cloud chamber. Having done all that you can "look 
in the back of the book" for the actual eclipse path to see how right you were.

Hi

If one perhaps knew the path of the eclipse in advance *and* had a GPS timing 
receiver that 
could be set somehow to look at a single satellite….. all one would need is a 
means of comparing
the output to a stable reference to *possibly* observe something interesting. 

More or less: You know the path of eclipse roaring along bashing the

pick a sat who’s signal traverses that region while getting to your location

Re: [time-nuts] WWVB & Eclipse

Brooke,

Nice set of links. Thanks. There's a poster here with an overview:

https://cedarweb.vsp.ucar.edu/wiki/images/6/60/Magdalina_Moses-Eclipse_Research_CEDAR_Poster.pdf

> Is there a study based on GPS observations?

It will all be there for free in CORS. It's just a matter of mining the data.
Apparently this is done a lot. Here are some random examples of what can be 
done. Pretty amazing.

Google for a subset of words like: CORS Ionosphere Monitoring Analysis Modeling 
TEC

[time-nuts] WWVB & Eclipse

2017-07-13 Thread Brooke Clarke

Hi:

There's a massive experiment relating to the strength of WWVB and a transmitter 
in Dixon California.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/07/12/a-massive-atmospheric-experiment-is-planned-for-august-solar-eclipse/?utm_term=.4d7101b869f6

http://eng.umb.edu/~eclipsemob/index.php 


http://www.hamsci.org/sites/default/files/publications/2017_IES_Liles.pdf
This article says Dixon may transmit at 55.1 and 135.95 kHz.

The EclipseMob receiver works with a smart phone acting as an SDR. as well as the source of it's position and the 
date-time of observation.


There is a parallel study based on ham radio WSPRNet and Reverse Beacon Network.
http://hamsci.org/

Is there a study based on GPS observations?

Hi

I’ll put that on my calendar right away :)

Yet another potential bug to check for in MJD code ….

Interestingly the first of those is also valid for October for DMY readers but  
10-7-17 isn’t, so on this side of the pond we’re waiting for 7-10-2017, which 
is also palindromic.
