List of UTC timing centers explained

List of UTC timing centers is a list of over 70 recognized maintainers of atomic clocks around the world from which UTC is calculated.^[1] Below are links to some of the more notable time centers which contribute to the calculation of UTC. UTC is calculated by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM)^[2] using weighted averages of the various times as reported by these 70+ listed timing centers.^{[3] [4]} BIPM lists the time differences between the UTC timing centers in a monthly publication called Circular T, which contains the most up to date list of contributors to UTC. ^[5]
