CGGTTS is a file format designed to describe a local clock state compared to GNSS time systems.

Exchanging CGGTTS files allows comparison of remote clocks by means of common satellite clocks in sight.

CGGTTS is a file format designed to describe the state of a local clock with respect to spacecraft that belong
12+
to GNSS constellation, ie., a GNSS timescale.
13+
Exchanging CGGTTS files allows direct clock comparison between two remote sites, by comparing how the clock behaves
14+
with respect to a specific spacecraft (ie., on board clock).
15+
This is called the _common view_ time transfer technique. Although it is more accurate to say CGGTTS is just the comparison method,
16+
what you do from the final results is up to end application. Usually, the final end goal is to have the B site track the A site
17+
and replicate the remote clock. It is for example, one option to generate a UTC replica.
