Data Archive Documentation
The Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center (SOPAC) archives RINEX observation (rinex/obs), navigation (nav), meteorological (met), and raw continuous GPS data. These data are available through SOPAC's partnership with CSRC.

ALERT! Most rinex files on the SOPAC archive have been converted to the Hatanaka format. More information, including instructions on how to obtain software to convert these 'd' files to RINEX format, is available here.

Data are available via two web-based data browsers, described next, and via ftp. Ftp instructions are listed at the end of this document.
