CHTI is located in Chatham Island, New Zealand, and is intended to replace the IGS Reference Station CHAT in a few months. CHTI is located about 20 km north of CHAT. Both stations are producing data and is available at CDDIS. CHTI is operated by GNS Science (GeoNet) and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) FLRS is located in Flores Island in North Atlantic Ocean. This station will add excellent coverage given its unique location and its GPS+GLONASS capability. FLRS is operated by Portugese Geographical Institute. FUNC is located in Medeira Islands, Funchal. This station as well provides added GPS+GLONASS coverage and redundancy approximately 700 km off the coast of Morroco. FUNC is operated by Portugese Geographical Institute. LPAL is located in La Palma Island, Canary Islands. This station provides excellent GPS+GLONASS coverage in the approximate area as well.
