[IGS-DCWG-163] Re: Rinex converted files not allowed in permanent repositories

[Noll, Carey E. (GSFC-61A0)]

Hi Nacho,

I know that we had discussed this “quarantine” before but we have made no
provisions for this at CDDIS. I will have to speak to our operations staff
about how we can implement the checks into our QC procedure and then figure
out a place to put the files.

Best regards,
Carey.
