Antenna Phase Centre Variations (PCVs) are available for both GOCE Main (SSTI-A) and Redundant (SSTI-B) antennas. PCVs are delivered in ANTEX format v1.3.

• GOCE SSTI-A PCVs data were generated from 154 days in 2009
• GOCE SSTI-B PCVs data were generated from the available data in 2010-2012

The current versions of the dataset use the reprocessed GPS orbits and clocks in the IGS08 reference frame. Values are derived for the ionosphere-free linear combination and are filled in for both frequencies.

PCVs values were generated with the residual approach, described in A. Jaeggi, Dach R., Montenbruck O., Hugentobler U., Bock H. and Beutler, G. (2009), Phase centre modeling for LEO GPS receiver antennas and its impact on precise orbit determination in Journal of Geodesy, 10.1007/s00190-009-0333-2.

The ANTEX files were compiled by H. Bock and A. Jaeggi from the Astronomical Institute, University of Bern (AIUB).
