Description

From IEDA:
Processed ship-based Navigation Data (version 2) from the Southern Ocean acquired during the Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG1312 (2013)This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system during Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG1312 conducted in 2013 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kenneth Halanych). These data files are of MGDS:Nav format and include Primary Navigation data and were processed after data collection. Funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT10-43745.

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.
