where: Xi, , Yi, Zi : X, Y, Z coordinate of the i-th site of the week ni : number of observations of the i-th site of the week Ntot : total number of observations in the week
A weekly time series of the LAGEOS 1/2 data barycenter has been computed, expressed as coordinates (dX,dY,dZ) in the ITRF reference frame.

Data Barycenter
Scale
mm
meters
Correlation coefficient scale/rXY = 0.45
rXY = distance of the data barycenter from the ITRF origin, in the XY plane (equator)
mm
meters
Correlation coefficient scale/r = 0.27
r = distance of the data barycenter from the ITRF origin
• Unbalanced data distribution since 2002
• Possible effect of the longitudinal data distribution on the scale to SLRF2005
• No evidence of the North/South data distribution influence on the scale to SLRF2005
• Further investigations with network simulation to: assess the correlation scale/data barycenter check the reliability of scale estimation
