Time zones & zip codes.

Hi Madeleine. My Global Gazetteer product provides just this link. I am not sure if you are referring just to the USA or worldwide. If you look at the web site, there should be a paper in the download section describing how we have handled time zones.

Dear sirs: I'm searching for a comprehensive listing of timezones, their abbreviations and offsets from GMT. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

To my knowledge, we have the only comprehensive database for time zone information for nearly every location in the 50 states of the US. It totals over 236,000 locations.

IAU standard algorithms published
by Markus Kuhn April 24, 2001

April 24, 2001

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) Standards Of Fundamental Astronomy (SOFA) project has started to release various reference algorithms for astronomic applications. It is currently all in Fortran 77, but other languages might follow. http://www.iau-sofa.rl.ac.uk/ Included in the first base release are a couple of calendar and time scale conversion algorithms: http://www.iau-sofa.rl.ac.uk/2001_0331/Astronomy.html Markus -- Markus G.

IERS Message No. 9
by central_bureau＠iers.org April 24, 2001

April 24, 2001

*************************************************************************** IERS Message No. 9 April 24, 2001 *************************************************************************** First Release of the SOFA Software Libraries The IAU's SOFA (Standards Of Fundamental Astronomy) initiative seeks to promulgate an authoritative set of fundamental-astronomy constants and algorithms. The work is carried out by a panel called the SOFA Review Board, the membership of which was agreed just prior to the 1997 General Assembly. The Board is pleased to announce that a first release of software is now available. The SOFA software libraries are a collection of subprograms, in source-code form, that implement official IAU algorithms for fundamental-astronomy computations. The subprograms at present comprise 27 "astronomy" routines supported by 52 "vector/matrix" routines, all written in Fortran. In future releases, the astronomy library will expand, and implementations in other languages will be introduced. For further details please see the SOFA Center's website at http://www.iau-sofa.rl.ac.uk/. --------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis D.

IERS Message No. 8
by central_bureau＠iers.org April 23, 2001

April 23, 2001

*************************************************************************** IERS Message No. 8 April 23, 2001 *************************************************************************** IERS Conventions Product Center Beginning 1 January 2001, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO) are working together to provide the Conventions Product Center (CPC) of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS). The CPC has committed itself to the IERS to (1) Edit the IERS Conventions, continuously maintaining the documents in electronic form and making available an updated printed version at the request of the Directing Board, (2) Maintain software in electronic form compatible with the IERS Conventions, (3) Examine the consistency of the procedures used by the IERS analysis centers with the adopted conventions and study the impact of possible inconsistencies on the IERS products. The first goal of the CPC is to complete the new edition of the IERS Conventions, known as Conventions 2000. Following this, efforts will be devoted to implement facilities related to the electronic access including mirror sites, and techniques to update the electronic version and software. Next, the CPC intends to review the content and presentation of the IERS Conventions and how it interacts with the IERS community. Over the following years, in line with task 3 above, it is expected that studies examining the consistency of the procedures used by the IERS analysis centers will be carried out in collaboration with other IERS components. The CPC will promote such studies and proposals will be welcome. Individuals participating in the CPC are USNO: Dr. Dennis D. McCarthy, co-director of the CPC, representative to the IERS Directing Board for 2001-2003 (dmc(a)maia.usno.navy.mil) Dr. Thomas Johnson Mr. Brian Luzum BIPM: Dr. Gerard Petit, co-director of the CPC (gpetit(a)bipm.org) Dr. Elisa Felicitas Arias (farias(a)bipm.org) Dr. Peter Wolf (pwolf(a)bipm.org) ***************************************************************************
