Subject: Wrong info in RINES headers

Tim Springer (CODE) recently checked the data files processed at CODE
and found a pretty large number of inconsistencies between the contents
of the RINEX file headers and the entries in the station log files as found
in the IGS Information System.

As RINEX headers are intended to provide the analysts with all necessary
(and up-to-date) auxiliary informations about the sites, the correctness
of such information is vital.

May I ask the responsible stations or Operational Centers to carefully
cross-check their log files with the data they put into the RINEX headers?

Thanks and regards,

Werner Gurtner

Errors in Rinex headers in GPSWEEK 0850 (days 112-118)
======================================================

(Tim Springer, CODE)

The characters have the following meaning:
  "-" : Rinex data not available
  "." : Rinex data available without error
  "X" : Rinex data available with error 

If an "." and an "X" occur for one site the data is probably rinex by two
different agencies. One of those agencies is making an error! Examples here
are METS and PAMA.
