Abstract
The 2.1 m NRC primary clock CsV and the three 1 m NRC CsVI primary clocks have estimated limits of accuracy of 1 and 1.5 x 10-13 respectively, and estimated probable accuracies of 5 and 7 x 10-14. The frequency stabilities of all four clocks are similar, with the value of σ (2, τ) approaching 1 x 10-14 for τ = 105 s. Re-evaluations of the accuracy of CsV, performed at yearly intervals, have shown no significant change in this estimate. In addition, comparisons with the cesium standard of the PTB, CsI, made during the past four years, indicate long-term agreement to within a few parts in 1014. No seasonal variation between these two standards is apparent, in contrast with that evident between them and TAI.
