STATUS OF ACTIVITIES AND PLANS FOR PRECISE TIME COMPARISONS IN AUSTRALIA

J. McLuck, I.K. Harvey, R.W. Harris, G.G. Harvey

Abstract:	The routine use of artificial satellites has revolutionised precise time camparisons in Australia in this decade. Global Positioning System (GPS) time transfer units are operating in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Alice Springs and Yaragadee (Western Australia) and provide the major link between the atomic clocks in those centres. They also provide the link with international time scales on a daily basis, superseding the clock trips from the USA every three months or less frequently.
