Abstract
In this report, the relativistic time transformation is reformulated to allow simpler time calculations relating analysis in a solar system frame (using coordinate time) with Earth-fixed observations (using atomic time). After an interpretation of terms, this simplified formulation is used to explain the conventions required in the synchronization of a world-wide clock network. In addition, two synchronization techniques—portable clocks and radio interferometry—are discussed in terms of the relativistic time transformation.
