[IGSSTATION-5882] Recent MORP data quality

[Peter Clarke]

Author:  Peter Clarke
Subject:  Recent MORP data quality

There has been unusually vigorous vegetation growth near to the antenna of MORP this spring, which may have had a transient impact on data quality since week 1796 (early June) or possibly even as early as GPS Week 1793 (mid-May), although this was only recently noticed.  Weeding took place early in week 1801 (mid July) and data quality now appears to be back to normal.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks to Carine Bruyninx at the EPNCB for alerting us to the problem.

Best regards,
Pete.
