Here is a brief summary: HALY is located in Halat Ammar, Saudi Arabia. The responsible agencies are MIT and UNAVCO, and the local agency is the King Abdullah City for Science and Technology. The location will likely benefit IGS ionosphere and other products. NAMA is located in Namas, Saudi Arabia. Other details are the same as for HALY. SOLA is located in Solar Village, Saudi Arabia. The responsible agencies are SOLA are JPL and UNAVCO, and the local agency is the King Abdullah City for Science and Technology. Data is delivered hourly, and there is a co-located SLR. A local tie to the SLR is currently not available, but a survey is being arranged. Due to the co-location, ACs should consider analyzing this data if possible. PETS is located in Petropavlosk-Kamchatka, Russian Federation. It is envisioned as an eventual replacement for PETP (about 5km away), due to a better RF noise environment. Data delivery is hourly. ACs which analyze PETP should consider also using PETS if possible during this overlap period, so that the transition will be well understood. WARN is located in Warnemuende, Germany and is managed by BKG. It is being added as a TIGA Project site, but it also features GLONASS tracking, hourly data delivery, and meteorological instruments. SASS is located in Sassnitz, Germany. Other details are the same as for WARN. Full details are available via each site's web page in the "Tracking Network" area of http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov The graphs will begin to appear in the next few days, as the data is collected. With thanks to the responsible agencies and colleagues, Angie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angelyn W.
