Rothera Permanent GPS Observatory Site

History and Details of Rothera site:

A GPS station at Rothera was setup in October 1998 and is now working uninterrupted. This station (our Ashtech Z-XII) was setup by Ed King from BAS.

As far as we know, the receiver may influenced by the heavy radar of the airborne system. Until we get some sample files, we are not sure about the signal strength and quality.

The raw data are stored on a PC and will be shipped to BAS (Cambridge) and AWI after the season.
