[time-nuts] The GPS velocity of light versus neutrinos

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Bill:

Are they using GPS directly, or to discipline a high quality oscillator, say a Cs?  Since it's frequency is spot on then 
all the GPS is doing is setting the edge of the 1 PPS.  The difference between the Cs 1 PPS and GPS 1 PPS can be 
measured over a day or more to see what it looks like.  I would expect that to be excellent.

Have Fun,
