Dear Colleagues,

Please be advised that GPS data from a second receiver,
operated from the same antenna and monument as site AREQ, is
being made available starting DOY 51 of this year. The data
from this second receiver uses the site name ARE2. 30s RINEX
data from ARE2 in hourly and daily form is published at CDDIS
(http://cddisa.gsfc.nasa.gov).

Note that this data is not without some problems (mostly due
to L2 tracking issues), that this particular receiver's intended
function is -not- to provide IGS-capable functionality and is
running revision-locked non-standard firmware, and that the data
from this receiver is not intended to be used as an alternative
to AREQ for IGS purposes (an IGS sitelog will not be published).

The ARE2 30s RINEX data is being published "as-is" due to a
number of requests for additional sources of data from this site.
Publishing of the ARE2 data may well be terminated as interest wanes.

Data -prior- to DOY 51, 2002 can be made available upon request
for the following periods (there are some days without data):

(year.doy)
 2001.055-2001.076
 2001.078-2001.243
 2001.247-2001.261
 2001.263-2001.315
 2001.323-2001.331
 2001.343-2001.345
 2001.352-2001.354
 2001.361-2002.027
 2002.029-2002.034
 2002.036-2002.050

Best regards,
