Project Highlights 2003 - Seychelles GPS Equipment Upgrade

The station SEY1 is located on the island of Mahe in the republic of Seychelles. The GPS station is collocated with a seismic station run by the University of California, San Diego. The purpose of the visit to the station, in January of 2003, was to update and exchange of the existing computer and GPS systems. The New computer is running Linux 7.3 and utilizing EGADS software to obtain daily GPS files from an Ashtech Micro Z. Meteorological data from a Paroscientific Met Pac is also imbedded into the data stream. In addition to the station upgrade, options for providing full time internet access to the site were investigated in order to obtain real time data from the station in the near future.
