The UNAVCO Facility support to the SuomiNet project includes system development, integration,
deployment, and technical support for the 75 station continuous GPS network. This effort was supported
with NSF-Atmospheric Sciences Division (ATM) funding, and is benefiting both the atmospheric and geodetic
research communities. The design and development included developing specific GPS technical capabilities to
meet the unique real-time data streaming needs of the system. The facility conducted an extensive test of several new
receivers and antennas to evaluate performance and suitability for the project and provide new equipment
comparisons to the geodetic community ("GPS Receiver and Antenna Testing Report"). UNAVCO developed GPS data streaming
software (JStream) and implemented the UCAR / Unidata Local
Data Management (LDM) software to deliver hourly files from the host institutions to the UCAR central data management and processikng
center. Real-time precipitable water vapor data products are available on-line at www.suominet.ucar.edu, and data from over
30 geodetic SuomiNet stations (ones with adequate monumentation) are available from the UNAVCO archive. Station
SC02 is shown. Friday Harbor, Washington.
