Additional GPS data were collected at Beaver Lake, Hamm Peak, Moushino Is., New Year Nunataks, Jetty Peninsula, and Else Platform. Most data are provided in UNIX Z compressed RINEX (Receiver INdependent EXchange) format, as described in the IGS standards - see http://www.igs.org/products Some data are compressed using the RINEX Hatanaka compression scheme. 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. d indicates an observation file compressed using the Hatanaka compression scheme). All files are compressed using the UNIX Z compression scheme, as shown by the extension .Z. For example, base0010.98o.Z, base0010.98n.Z, base0010.98d.Z. The files are set out in the following directories on the submitted CD: season1998_1999 \amery \amery\camp \beaver GPS data collected at the permanent stations at Casey, Davis and Mawson are available from Geoscience Australia - see http://www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/antarc/antgps.jsp The fields in this dataset are: marker number marker name observer/agency approx position antenna wavelength GPS Amery ice shelf {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[72.0, -69.1], [72.1, -69.1], [72.1, -69.0], [72.0, -69.0], [72.0, -69.1]]]} 72.0 72.1 -69.1 -69.0 AMD AMD/AU AMERY ICE SHELF ANTENNA APPROX POSITION CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Amery Ice Shelf CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Beaver Lake EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > GLACIER ELEVATION/ICE SHEET ELEVATION EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > TIDES > TIDAL HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE MOTION EARTH SCIENCE > TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE VELOCITY FIELD SURVEYS GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR GPS GPS > Global Positioning System GPS RECEIVERS MARKER NAME MARKER NUMBER OBSERVER/AGENCY WAVELENGTH GET DATA documentDigital Download the data from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre HTML GET DATA documentDigital International GPS Data Archive Holdings HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Permanent GPS Tracking Sites in Antarctica HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
