Implementación del servicio de datos GPS de la Escuela de Topografía, Catastro y Geodesia

En la Escuela de Topografía, Catastro y Geodesia (ETCG) se ha implementado el Servicio de Datos GPS (SDG), el cual es un dominio en Internetque ofrece a los diferentes usuarios el acceso a información técnica y la posibilidad de descargar los archivos de datos generados diariamente por la estación GPS de operación continua de la ETCG. Los archivos disponibles en el SDG incluyen dos tratamientos previos a su publicación: un control de calidad al archivo rinex de observación con el programa Teqc y posteriormente la aplicación de la compresión de los tres archivos rinex (observación,navegación y meteorología) con el algoritmo de Hatanaka. Los dos procesos están totalmente automatizados y se ejecutan de forma diaria por medio de batch files. Con base en la puesta en operación del SDG, los archivos son procesados diariamente por uno de los centros de análisis de datos de SIRGAS y desde la semana 1501 GPS, los archivos de soluciones semanales generados por el DGFI de Alemania incorporan oficialmente los datos de la ETCG.
