Subject: New Galapagos station replacing GALA

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to let you know of the new GGN (NASA/JPL/UNAVCO) station on
Galapagos (GLPS). Due to increasingly reduced data quality from GALA over
the last months, we have decided to abandon the station and move all
operations to GLPS. The new GLPS monument (short, drill-braced, with SCIGN
mount and SCIGN dome) installed by UNAVCO in March 2002, is located about
100 feet due south of the old GALA monument. Survey tie data (GLPS) can be
obtained from the UNAVCO archive at
http://archive.unavco.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/dmg/raws_by?gid=2359&ds=1&oby=start_t
ime
Data is available Mar 08 - May 21, 2002. GALA data for this time period
is available from the CDDIS. A NEW sitelog has been submitted to the IGS.
New GLPS data is available from the CDDIS starting doy 2003.007.

We would also like to acknowledge the kind cooperation and assistance from
our colleagues at the Charles Darwin Station.

Best regards,

    -Oivind Ruud
