Abstract:	It has already been shown than even with a simple daily averaging of GLONASS data at each site, continental GLONASS time transfer can be achieved at a level of several tens of nanoseconds. A further step is is carry out observations of GLONASS satellites by the common-view method. This paper reports a comparison of GPS and GLONASS common-view time transfers between Russia and Western Europe. At ah site, a GPS receiver and a GLONASS receiver are connected to the same atomic clock. Both GPS receivers are of NBS type and the GLONASS receivers are of type A-724. As GPS common-view time transfer between Sevres and Mendeleevo is accomplished at a level of a few nanoseconds in precision, it gives an excellent reference with which to evaluate the performance of GLONASS common-view time transfer.
