5 Schedules CONT2 & CONT5 system checks for all stations in last 3 min of session. 4

6 Number of observations 5 TIGOCONC missed 3 sessions several interruptions ZELENCHK missed 1 session (disk lost) bi-modal pattern, sub-lobes, sub-ambiguities

10 Solution strategy - Stacking Equation system A x = τ 7

11 Solution strategy - Stacking Equation system A x = τ 7

12 Solution strategy - Stacking Equation system A x = τ 7

13 Solution strategy - Stacking Equation system A x = τ 7 Parameter with same epoch although in different sessions CPWLF at end and beginning of subsequent sessions parameter transformed to mid epoch of CONT-period station positions (EOP solution only)

22 Conclusions 1 Modified solution strategy improves solution (based on WRMS) 2 CONT8 serves (one of) the best continous data-sets occasional (planned or unplanned) drop of stations do not lead to jumps in the time series 3 No significant signal in CONT8 sub-daily EOP (as the retrograde 8h term in CONT2) 15
