Abstract :
Considering the evolving needs of time metrology and the convenience of allowing the contributing laboratories access to a realization UTC more frequently than through the monthly Circular T, the BIPM Time Department has started to implement the computation of UTCr, a rapid realization of UTC published every week and based on daily clock and time transfer data. Results of the first weeks of a pilot experimentation of this new product are presented.
