Routine Operations: Correlation and Analysis

• JADEs (Japanese Domestic Sessions) - 5 sessions in FY2014 - Baselines including 2 VERA stations and 3 NICT

stations • Intensives - 107 sessions for UT1 measurements - Automated Processes in weekends • GSI VLBI Solutions - Two global solutions (Sep. and Mar.) in this FY

CONT14

• 15-days Continuous VLBI campaign from 6 May • 17 Stations (7 in southern hemisphere) • Half data e-transferred (Including Tsukuba) to

Bonn

CONT14 (Cont.)

• 512Mbps (256Mbps for usual IVS sessions) • Tsukuba observed 8000 scans in total (i.e. ~2.5 min interval with ~25 sec rec.) • Tsukuba also observed INT2 (weekends) during

CONTs (downtime) • Switching sessions in Unmanned Operation • No Serious Problem
