  2. Radio clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

    Radio clock. A modern LF radio-controlled clock. A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an "atomic clock", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

  3. International Atomic Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time

    International Atomic Time. International Atomic Time (abbreviated TAI, from its French name temps atomique international[1]) is a high-precision atomic coordinate time standard based on the notional passage of proper time on Earth's geoid. [2] TAI is a weighted average of the time kept by over 450 atomic clocks in over 80 national laboratories ...

  4. List of UTC timing centers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_timing_centers

    List of UTC timing centers is a list of over 70 recognized maintainers of atomic clocks around the world from which UTC is calculated. [1] Below are links to some of the more notable time centers which contribute to the calculation of UTC. UTC is calculated by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) [2] using weighted averages ...

  5. Time synchronization in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_synchronization_in...

    GPS time synchronization. GPS receiver requirements. Minimum: GPS receiver that works with user chosen software; this requires some combination of GPGGA, GPRMC, GPZDA, GPGSA, and GPGSV sentences. This provides accuracy of between 1 and 2 seconds, and includes most, but not all modern GPS receivers. Better: USB GPS receiver with the NMEA 0183 ...

  6. Network Time Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

    v. t. e. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable- latency data networks. In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in current use. NTP was designed by David L. Mills of the University of Delaware.

  7. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    Time standards. [edit] An atomic clock is based on a system of atoms which may be in one of two possible energy states. A group of atoms in one state is prepared, then subjected to microwave radiation. If the radiation is of the correct frequency, a number of atoms will transition to the other energy state.

  8. Leap second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second

    Screenshot of the UTC clock from time.gov during the leap second on 31 December 2016.. A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks) and imprecise observed solar time (), which varies due to irregularities and long-term ...

    Website. NRC Short Wave Station Broadcasts (CHU) CHU is the call sign of a shortwave time signal radio station operated by the Institute for National Measurement Standards of the National Research Council. [1] CHU's signal is used for continuous dissemination of official Canadian government time signals, derived from atomic clocks.
