These stations have been recently proposed to be integrated into the IGS network and are at that time being assessed by IGS. These 2 stations are tracking GPS+GLONASS satellites and are already running since a few months (almost one year in fact). Hourly and daily files are available at IGN GDC. The approximate coordinates of the sites are: ABMF: Latitude (N is +) : +161544.30 Longitude (E is +) : +2982820.89 Elevation (m,ellips.) : -25 LMMF : Latitude (N is +) : +143541.34 Longitude (E is +) : -0605946.21 Elevation (m,ellips.) : -27.0 You can find some additional information about them at the following web pages: ABMF (Martinique): http://rgp.ign.fr/STATIONS/fiche.php?type=station&ident=ABMF site log : http://rgp.ign.fr/logsheet/abmf_20091015.log LMMF (Guadeloupe): http://rgp.ign.fr/STATIONS/fiche.php?type=station&ident=LMMF site log: http://rgp.ign.fr/logsheet/lmmf_20091013.log These stations are operated in collaboration with the local entities of the French national meteorological agency.
