+When the individual satellite clocks and code biases are used together, the effective Observable-Specific Biases (OSBs) are recovered.
+With it, the interoperability between corrections of different RTACs, which may use different signals for clock estimation, is ensured.
+Hence, the individual RTAC satellite clocks are reduced epoch by epoch by the individual ionosphere-free linear combination
+of individual RTAC satellite code biases, delivered for the reference signals, before its combination.
+With it, the combined satellite clocks are consistent to IGS clocks, which means ionosphere-free clocks
+based on the defined reference signals - despite the fact, that the delivered code biases of an RTAC may contain contributions
+from other biases, also phase biases (Banville et al. 2020).

-This can be used to set the ionosphere-free linear combination of two Observable-specific Signal Biases (OSBs;
-those of the reference signals, because they are part of the clocks per definition) to zero, in order to calculate all other OSBs.
-For this, we use currently the satellite biases which are computed by the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics (IGG)
-of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and send them out as SSR code biases together with the combined clocks.
-These SINEX Bias files are archived at the CDDIS:
+This convention allows the ionosphere-free linear combination of the two OSBs of the reference signals to be set to zero.
+All other OSBs can then be expressed in terms of Differential Code Biases. For this,
+the PCO-corrected satellite DCB product (Wang et al. 2025) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is used and send out
+as SSR code bias together with the combined clocks. These SINEX Bias files are archived at CDDIS:
