The satellite tracking graph has been calculated for all stations for the first day of each month. If you wish to have a graph for another date, choose the 'Calculate a specific date' option.
Please be advised that between 2019-07-22 and 2019-08-06 station MORP was disturbed by workers clearing the GNSS enclosure of vegetation. This has now been rectified.
Data from the time period above should not be used.
Because of unforeseen electrical power outages associated with demolition and construction work in the building housing the MORP GPS receiver, data are missing from 10:47 on day 063 (4 March) - 20:00 on day 064 (5 March), and 05:07 on day 067 (8 March) - 15:12 on day 070 (11 March).
At the start of these works, the Paroscientific Met4 sensor attached to the receiver has been removed, and met data will be unavailable until further notice (several weeks at least). A revised log file will be submitted in due course.
The GPS antenna location is not affected by these works.
Because of a receiver fault, data from IGS/EUREF site MORP (Morpeth, UK) between ~22:37 UT on 2015-08-26 (doy 238) and ~19:10 on 2015-08-28 (doy 240) have been irrevocably lost. Data are now flowing normally again.
There has been unusually vigorous vegetation growth near to the antenna of MORP this spring, which may have had a transient impact on data quality since week 1796 (early June) or possibly even as early as GPS Week 1793 (mid-May), although this was only recently noticed. Weeding took place early in week 1801 (mid July) and data quality now appears to be back to normal.
Because of communications problems over the holiday season, some data from MORP have been delayed and/or lost. All available hourly and daily data have now been uploaded, but data between ~2120 on 2014-01-03 and ~1115 on 2014-01-06 are permanently missing.
