Table A.1

Time difference compared to GOLF measured using p modes compared to expected time difference for May 1, 1996.

Instrument Cadence (s) Mid point UT Mid point GPS Mid point TAI Raw time difference w.r.t. GOLF (s) Time corrected when use of BDF (s) Time measured with p modes

Notes. First column gives the instrument, the second column the cadence of the instrument, the third to fifth columns the time of the first sample in Universal Time (UT), from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and TAI references; the sixth column time difference with respect to (w.r.t.) GOLF; the seventh column gives the time corrected when comparing to GONG since GONG consortium delivers BDF filtered data; the last column gives the time difference measured with p modes.

(a)

Time given in the file corresponds to start of integration.

(b)

Time given in the file corresponds to start of integration, and does not take into account the BDF time “effect”.

(c)

Time given in the file corresponds to mid point.

(d)

Comparison with GONG is done by applying the BDF to GOLF as well.
