Abstract: TheEarth rotation stations parameters (ERP), which are a set of key parameters for satellite navigation and surveying/mapping, are estimated by using the consecutive GPS observation data from 22 IGS stations. The estimated ERP values are compared with the IERS C04 (UTC 00:00:00) eries and the IGS EOP(UTC 12:00:00) series. The comparisons show that the RMS values of the differences between the series given in this paper and IGS EOP(UTC 12:00:00) series are 0.021 4 mas in x-component of polar motion(x-Pole), 0.066 2 in y-component of polar motion(y-Pole), 0.026 0in UT1-UTC, and the RMS values of the differences between the series given in this paper and IERS C04 (UTC 00:00:00) series are 0.020 3 mas in x-Pole, 0.035 4 mas in y-Pole, 0.001 6 ms in UT1-UTC. The accuracy of the ERP estimated is close to that of IERS C04, and the results are credible.
