Since December 5, 2006 (doy 239) the BKG Regional Data Center
holds highrate RINEX observation files with a 1-second
sampling rate of currently 18 IGS stations and 26 EPN
(European Permanent Network) stations. The files are
accumulated from realtime data streams (of IGS-IP and EUREF-IP
NtripCaster) and published every 15 minutes ("zero latency").
We use the following file name convention

ssssdddhii.yyd.Z ,

ssss = 4 digit station abbreviation
ddd  = day of year
h    = hour of day (from a - x)
ii   = 00, 15, 30, 45 (interval of hour)
yy   = year
d    = compact RINEX format
Z    = z-compression

To access the files connect to

  ftp igs.bkg.bund.de , user anonymous

Subdirectories
  IGS/highrate
  EUREF/highrate

It is planned to hold highrate data online until further
notice. Because these files will not be replaced in case
of incompleteness, we recommend to use daily files for
final post-processing applications.
