EPOS GNSS

ROB-EUREF

Background: The primary purpose of the EUREF Permanent Network is to provide access to the European Terrestrial Reference System 89 (ETRS89) which is the standard precise GNSS coordinate system throughout Europe.

To maintain the ETRS89, ROB computes the EUREF Reference Frame product which is one of the core products of EUREF, the IAG (International Association of Geodesy) Reference Frame sub-commission for Europe. It consists of the precise multi-year positions and velocities of the EPN stations expressed in the latest ITRS/ETRS89 realization.

Input: EPN daily combined SINEX files provided by WUT-EUREF

Updated: each 15 weeks

Methodology: Computed with the CATREF software (Altamimi et al., 2007) and expressed in the IGS 14 frame using minimal constraints. Outliers have been eliminated and jumps in the position time series have been accounted for.

More details: from EPN Central Bureau at epncb.oma.be and in the following report


Service

This service in this section retrieve the GNSS Position Time Series from ROB-EUREF Analysis Center.

A time series is a chronological sequence of GNSS position measurements representing the temporal evolution of a station’s coordinates.

This function retrieves time series objects for a given station. It requires the following parameters:

  • station – the identifier of the GNSS station

  • coordinate_system – the coordinate system to be used, either ENU (East, North, Up) or XYZ (Cartesian coordinates)

The following parameters are optional :

  • Date filter, in UTC time, to activate, click Override:
    • epoch_start – beginning of epoch (date format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss)
    • epoch_end – end of epoch (date format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss)

If no date is provided, the whole time series will be returned. 

Notes

  • All parameters are case-sensitive
