Comparison of Realizations of the Terrestrial Reference Frame
Paper i proceeding, 2013

IGN and DGFI both generated realizations of the terrestrial reference frame under the
auspices of the IERS from combination of the same space geodetic data. We compared the
IGN and DGFI TRFs with a GSFC CALC/SOLVE TRF. WRMS position and velocity
differences for the 40 most frequently observed sites were 2–3 mm and 0.3–0.4 mm/year.
There was a scale difference of  0.39/ 0.09 ppb between the IGN/DGFI realizations and
the GSFC solution. When we fixed positions and velocities to either the IGN or DGFI
values in CALC/SOLVE solutions, the resulting EOP estimates were not significantly
different from the estimates from a standard TRF solution.
