This tool is available to the public, requires no password or login, and -can- be applied to any/all sites in SOPAC's database.....keying on four-character site code for site identification. Site information management, as most people in the GPS community are aware of, affects nearly every aspect of permanent GPS data collection, archiving, analysis and post-processing. To this end, we intend to use SITe (Site Information Tool [e]) to improve our own information management for the SCIGN network, and we hope others will find it useful as well. http://sopac.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/SITe.cgi Also noteworthy - over the next few months SOPAC, together with staff from our SCIGN partners at the United States Geological Survey - Pasadena, hope to both improve SITe and provide a document clearly outlining the CGI interface of SITe for those users with an interest in incorporating SITe functionality into their own utilities and/or web pages. Finally, we have included a distinct "EarthScope/PBO" network category that will allow users to query metadata from the designated Western North America PBO region. Currently metadata are included from the existing continuous GPS arrays in this region. The tool will be useful as a way of tracking new continuous GPS sites as they are added to PBO. Any questions, suggestions or opinions on this topic can be directed to: archive@sopac.ucsd.edu Best regards, SOPAC -- ******************************************************* Michael Scharber Scripps Institution of Oceanography Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics 8785 Biological Grade IGPP Room 4212 La Jolla, CA 92037 mscharber@josh.ucsd.edu (858)534-1750 *******************************************************
