I encourage IGS analysis centers to include these sites in their processing and reprocessing efforts, especially as some of them have a long history. The new stations (in addition to AUCK and CHAT which have been IGS stations since 1995) are: WGTN, Wellington Airport Data available at IGS data centers from 1999/359 MQZG, McQueen's Valley (near Christchurch) Data available at IGS data centers from 2000/007 DUND, Dunedin GPS Data available at IGS data centers from 2005/236 NIUM, Niue Meteorological Service Data available at IGS data centers from 2005/258 Niue Island is located in the Pacific Ocean between Tonga and the Cook Islands. CHTI, Chatham Island North Data available at IGS data centers from 2007/345 (available at CDDIS, but perhaps not yet at other centers) 20 km north of CHAT and installed on much better rock than CHAT. We intend to keep CHAT running as long as possible, but we expect that CHTI will eventually supercede CHAT as the IGS station on Chatham Island. WGTN, MQZG, DUND and CHTI are operated by GNS Science in partnership with Land Information New Zealand. NIUM is operated by GNS Science in partnership with Ohio State University and the Niue Met Service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr John Beavan, GNS Science - Te Pu Ao, 1 Fairway Drive, PO Box 30368, Lower Hutt, New Zealand Tel: +64 4 570 4641 Fax: +64 4 570 1440 Mob: 027 221 8861 Email: j.beavan@gns.cri.nz Web: www.gns.cri.nz Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
