Following Robert Kachikyan's recent announcement about CHTI, I'd like to
provide more information on this station and on four other stations that
were added to the IGS network last year.
I encourage IGS analysis centers to include these sites in their
processing and reprocessing efforts, especially as some of them have a
long history.
The new stations (in addition to AUCK and CHAT which have been IGS
stations since 1995) are:
WGTN, Wellington Airport
Data available at IGS data centers from 1999/359
MQZG, McQueen's Valley (near Christchurch)
Data available at IGS data centers from 2000/007
DUND, Dunedin GPS
Data available at IGS data centers from 2005/236
NIUM, Niue Meteorological Service
Data available at IGS data centers from 2005/258
Niue Island is located in the Pacific Ocean between Tonga and the Cook
Islands.
CHTI, Chatham Island North
Data available at IGS data centers from 2007/345 (available at CDDIS, but
perhaps not yet at other centers)
20 km north of CHAT and installed on much better rock than CHAT.
We intend to keep CHAT running as long as possible, but we expect that
CHTI will eventually supercede CHAT as the IGS station on Chatham Island.
WGTN, MQZG, DUND and CHTI are operated by GNS Science in partnership with
Land Information New Zealand.
NIUM is operated by GNS Science in partnership with Ohio State University
and the Niue Met Service.
