International time scales TAI and UTC• The BIPM is responsible for realizing, maintaining and disseminating the
international reference time scales;
• International time keeping is the result of the cooperation of many laboratories distributed worldwide;
• The efforts of the community dealing with time metrology are focused towards the construction of time scales adapted to the most demanding applications and requiring:– Continuity– Reliability– Accessibility– Frequency stability of order 10-15
– Frequency accuracy of order 10-15 (traceability to the SI second)

International time scales TAI and UTCTAI
Atomic scale (14th CGPM,1971), ContinuousCalculated in post-real time (~10 days after the last
date of data), Frequency stability (0.5 x 10-15 @40 days)
Unit: SI second, Frequency accuracy (~10-15) It has no representations through clocks, not
disseminated It has scientific applications and provides a
frequency reference

International time scales TAI and UTCUTC (coordinated universal-time)
Atomic time scale (ITU-R, Rec. 460, 1970; 460-1, 1974) Continuous with one-second steps at irregular intervals
(leap second) Differs from TAI in an integer number of seconds (33 s at
present) Post-processed (~10 days after last date of data) Unit: SI second, Frequency stability and accuracy (idem
TAI) Represented by clocks
Local approximations UTC(k), [UTC-UTC(k)] < 100 ns (recomm.)
Disseminated Circular T, CCTF-K001.UTC (delayed time), Time signals (real
time approximations) Legal applications

PRIMARY FREQUENCY STANDARDS (PFS)
• 11 regularly reporting measurements to BIPM – from 6 time National metrology
laboratories• 7 are Caesium fountains
– frequency accuracy 0.5 to 4 × 10-15
• improve the accuracy of the TAI

Improvements in the algorithm• Model of instability of EAL
– is used to include PFS calibrations in a month of calculation of Circular T
– normalized filter coefficients (“weights”) that depend on
• uncertainty of the PFS evaluation• distance between the intervals of evaluation and
calculation• instability of EAL
• Need of a refined model (Arias&Petit, 2005)– negative filter coefficients– stability of PFS better than that of EAL
• New model adopted since 2005.7
