Performances of UTC(OP) based on LNE-SYRTE atomic fountains

2014 
We present the current realization of UTC(OP) generated at LNE-SYRTE, Observatoire de Paris (OP), Paris, France, which is also the source of French legal time. UTC(OP) is based on a H-maser standard steered on the atomic fountains developed by LNE-SYRTE. The steering algorithm and the prediction of UTC(OP) departure from UTC are described, together with the results of the first year of operation. Since October 2012, the departure of UTC(OP) from UTC remained well below 10 ns.
