|
|---|
| 7 | =======
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | Please prepare site logs in plain ASCII.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | Line length is limited to 80 characters.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | See http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/sitelog-submissions.html for
|
|---|
| 14 | submission instructions, or email your log to igscb.jpl.nasa.gov if
|
|---|
| 15 | you prefer. Site logs emailed manually are usually handled by
|
|---|
| 16 | the CB within about one business day.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | Date and time formats are ISO 8061; see http://www.iso.ch/markete/8601.pdf
|
|---|
| 19 | As a summary, CC=2 digit century
|
|---|
| 20 | YY=2 digit year
|
|---|
| 21 | MM=2 digit month
|
|---|
| 22 | DD=2 digit day of month
|
|---|
| 23 | T=date/time separator
|
|---|
| 24 | hh=2 digit hour
|
|---|
| 25 | mm=2 digit minutes of hour
|
|---|
| 26 | Z=UTC indicator
|
|---|
| 27 | /=separator when begin & end times are given
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Latitude/Longitude formats are aligned to ISO 6709:
|
|---|
| 30 | Lat: +/-DDMMSS.SS
|
|---|
| 31 | Long: +/-DDDMMSS.SS
|
|---|
| 32 | A + or - sign is required. Leading zeroes must be used as appropriate
|
|---|
| 33 | to maintain the DDMMSS and DDDMMSS format.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | "etc" indicates you may enter any relevant answer, not just a choice
|
|---|
| 36 | ofthe suggestions shown.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | "F7.4," "A4" and so on indicate the FORTRAN-style format which the
|
|---|
| 39 | response should have.
|
|---|
| 40 | Example 12345.7 = F7.1
|
|---|
| 41 | ABCD = A4
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | Blocks which have a "N.x" definition (namely sections 3-10) should
|
|---|
| 44 | always have the complete historic set of information; when a change is
|
|---|
| 45 | made, the previous information is left (for example in section 3.1)
|
|---|
| 46 | and the new information is placed in a new block numbered 3.2. Please
|
|---|
| 47 | leave the .x sections uncompleted to remind yourself of the format
|
|---|
| 48 | when the next change occurs.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Please remove the response hints such as "(F7.4 N/S)" as you fill out
|
|---|
| 51 | the log (except in the .x sections and Date Removed fields for
|
|---|
| 52 | currently installed equipment, which you will leave). If an
|
|---|
| 53 | answer in an optional field is unknown, try to learn the answer for
|
|---|
| 54 | the next log update.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to

|---|
| 98 | --------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 99 |

|
|---|
| 101 | Please find your receiver in
|
|---|
| 102 | ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab and use
|
|---|
| 103 | the official name, taking care to get capital letters, hyphens,

|---|
| 108 | Serial Number : (A20)
|
|---|
| 109 | Keep the 5 significant characters of the serial number field in
|
|---|
| 110 | SINEX in mind: do not enter "S/N 12345" instead of "12345" since
|
|---|
| 111 | valuable information will be lost.

|
|---|
| 119 |
|
|---|
| 120 | Temperature Stabiliz. : (none or tolerance in degrees C.)
|
|---|
| 121 | This refers to the temperature of the room in which the receiver
|
|---|
| 122 | is housed.
|
|---|
| 123 |
|
|---|
| 124 | Date Removed : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ)
|
|---|
| 125 | In the block for the receiver currently in operation, leave this
|
|---|
| 126 | line as is to remind yourselt of the format when the next receiver
|
|---|
| 127 | change is made.
|
|---|
| 128 |
|
|---|
| 129 | 4. GNSS Antenna Information
|
|---|
| 130 | ---------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 131 |
|
|---|
| 132 | Antenna Type : (A20 from rcvr_ant.tab; see instructions)
|
|---|
| 133 | Please find your antenna in
|
|---|
| 134 | ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab and
|
|---|
| 135 | use the official name, taking care to get capital letters, hyphens,
|
|---|
| 136 | etc. exactly correct. If you do not find a listing for your
|
|---|
| 137 | antenna, please notify the IGS Central Bureau
|
|---|
| 138 | (igscb@igscb.jpl.nasa.gov). Please do not use antenna names from a
|
|---|
| 139 | "Previously valid" section. Choose the corresponding new antenna
|
|---|
| 140 | name. You may indicate a Radome code from rcvr_ant.tab in columns
|
|---|
| 141 | 17-20 of the Antenna Type if desired.
|
|---|
| 142 |
|
|---|
| 143 | Serial Number : (A20)
|
|---|
| 144 | Keep the 5 significant characters of the serial number field in
|
|---|
| 145 | SINEX in mind: do not enter "S/N 12345" instead of "12345" since
|
|---|
| 146 | valuable information will be lost.
|
|---|
| 147 |
|
|---|
| 148 | Antenna Reference Point : (BPA/BCR/XXX from "antenna.gra"; see instructions)
|
|---|
| 149 | Locate your antenna in the file
|
|---|
| 150 | ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/antenna.gra
|
|---|
| 151 | Indicate the three-letter abbreviation for the point which is
|
|---|
| 152 | indicated equivalent to ARP for your antenna. Contact the Central
|
|---|
| 153 | Bureau (igscb@igscb.jpl.nasa.gov) if your antenna does not appear.
|
|---|
| 154 |
|
|---|
| 155 | Marker->ARP Up Ecc. (m) : (F8.4)
|
|---|
| 156 | This is the antenna height measured to an accuracy of 1mm
|
|---|
| 157 | and defined as the vertical distance of the ARP from the marker
|
|---|
| 158 | described in section 1.
|
|---|
| 159 |
|
|---|
| 160 | Alignment from True N : (deg; + is clockwise/east)
|
|---|
| 161 | The positive direction is clockwise, so that due east
|
|---|
| 162 | would be equivalent to a response of "+90"
|
|---|
| 163 |
|
|---|
| 164 | Antenna Radome Type : (A4 from rcvr_ant.tab; see instructions)
|
|---|
| 165 | Place a Radome code from
|
|---|
| 166 | ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab here.
|
|---|
| 167 | "NONE" indicates there is no radome.
|
|---|
| 168 |
|
|---|
| 169 | Date Removed : (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mmZ)
|
|---|
| 170 | In the block for the antenna currently in operation, leave this
|
|---|
| 171 | line as is to remind yourselt of the format when the next antenna
|
|---|
| 172 | change is made.
|
|---|
| 173 |
|
|---|
| 174 | 8. Meterological Information
|
|---|
| 175 | -------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 176 | Height Diff to Ant : (m)
|
|---|
| 177 | This is sensor height minus antenna height. In other words, positive
|
|---|
| 178 | if the sensor is above the antenna. Please note that this convention
|
|---|
| 179 | was used in the Notes.
|
|---|
| 180 |
|
|---|
| 181 | 12. Responsible Agency (if different from 9.)
