Abstract
The Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) is one of the world's five major Regional Metrology Organizations (RMO's). Starting in 2005, the SIM Time and Frequency Metrology Working Group (SIM TFWG) developed a time and frequency comparison network for the Americas (SIMTN). Currently 23 national metrology institutes from the SIM region participate in the SIMTN. Since 2008 the SIM TFWG is producing a time scale called SIM Time Scale (SIMT). SIMT is an averaged time scale computed in near real-time (every hour) from time difference data that the SIMTN produces and publishes every 10 minutes. In this paper, a SIMT evaluation based on data from August 2016 to January 2018 is presented.Conference Dates
