Abstract Clocks that receive and decode time signals from the GOES satellites are commonly used to provide accurate time reference for the recording of a wide variety of data types in academic research. These satellite clocks must be used with adequate knowledge of their operation. When corrections for satellite position are not made, comparison data presented in this paper show that errors of up to several milliseconds will result. However, with care and the application of proper corrections it is shown that accuracies of 100 to 200 microseconds are achievable.
