Additional data at Landing Bluff, Dalton Corner and Beaver Lake were collected by ANU (see ASAC project 1112). All data are provided in UNIX Z compressed RINEX (Receiver INdependent EXchange) format, as described in the IGS standards - see http://www.igs.org/products The standard RINEX file naming convention is used, i.e., an eight digit file name as bbbbddds.yyt, where bbbb refers to a four digit station name, ddd refers to the day number of the year, s refers to a session number and yyt is the file extension number where yy refers to the year and t defines the file type (o for observation file and n for navigation file). All files are compressed using the UNIX Z compression scheme, as shown by the extension .Z. For example, base0010.00o.Z and base0010.00n.Z. The files are set out in the following directories on the ftp site: season1999_2000 \amery \land \raw Data are also available for download from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre at the provided URL. Raw data, where available, is stored in the aw directory in standard Leica LB2 Binary format. Conversion routines are available: http://www.unavco.org/software/software.html GPS data collected at the permanent stations at Casey, Davis and Mawson are available from Geoscience Australia (previously AUSLIG) - see http://www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/antarc/antgps.jsp The fields in this dataset are: GPS marker number marker name observer/agency approximate position antenna wavelength interval {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[73.76, -69.79], [73.66, -69.79], [73.66, -69.69], [73.76, -69.69], [73.76, -69.79]]]} 73.66 73.76 -69.79 -69.69 AMD AMD/AU ANTENNA APPROXIMATE POSITION CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Amery Ice Shelf CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Beaver Lake CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Landing Bluff EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > GLACIER ELEVATION/ICE SHEET ELEVATION EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE MOTION EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE VELOCITY EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > TIDES > TIDAL HEIGHT FIELD INVESTIGATION FIELD SURVEYS GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR GPS GPS > Global Positioning System GPS RECEIVERS INTERVAL MARKER NAME MARKER NUMBER OBSERVER/AGENCY WAVELENGTH GET DATA documentDigital Download page for the data HTML GET DATA documentDigital International GPS Data Archive Holdings HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital UNAVCO Conversion Routines HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Permanent Antarctic GPS Stations - Australia HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
