Summary:
The South Pole GPS station was upgraded to a new system that both meets USGS data requirements and is standardized for UNAVCO operation and maintenance support. Publicly available data are archived at UNAVCO, the Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS), and the Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center (SOPAC) with minimal latency. This system was installed on the new elevated station A frequency doubler was also provided for the rubidium reference frequency standard, and a second receiver is staged on station as a spare. The new Trimble NetRS receiver is connected directly to the Internet, and can be accessed and operated remotely, resulting is a substantial time savings for the South Pole Research Associate.
