Equipment Available

A geodetic system consisting of dual-frequency base station and roving receivers, capable of centimeter-level accuracy, is available at Palmer Station. Real-time kinematic (RTK) broadcasts provide real-time capability within a five kilometer radius of Palmer, and centimeter-level accuracy can be realized over 100 kilometers away from the station by collecting and post-processing data. A computer is available for data downloading and processing at the IMS (TerraLab) facility. Data from the base station are available on-line from the UNAVCO Data Archive.

The following GPS equipment is available for use at Palmer Station:
	Trimble NetRS Base Station Geodetic GPS base station for data collection and RTK broadcasting. An equipment inventory is maintained on this page.
	Trimble R7 Rover Receiver Geodetic GPS receiver that provides centimeter accuracy in real-time (RTK) or through data collection and post-processing. An equipment inventory is maintained on this page.
	Data Processing Computer A shared computer with Trimble Geomatics Office data processing software and other GPS utilities.
