Description

Processed ship-based Navigation Data from the Antarctic Peninsula acquired during the Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG0102 (2001). This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system during Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG0102 conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Craig Smith). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format. The dates and time were not available with the downloaded data. A few points (first, last, 2 in the middle, were added manually by BCO-DMO.

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Global Positioning System Receiver

Acronym: GPS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/POS03/

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.
