SOPAC Data By Site Browser Documentation

This data browser provides a listing of the rinex obs, met, nav and raw GPS data available on the SOPAC archive for the site(s) and/or array(s) provided, over the time period specified. Select the begin and end dates and site/arrays of interest. If you do not know the day of year for the month/day you are looking for, select the "Convert Date Utility" link. Click the "Show Data" button, and a listing of available sites and their files is displayed. Observation files are listed as a file completion percentage (1-100%). Navigation and meteorological files display "N" and "M", respectively. '-' indicates that no file is available. Click on the site name for site information. Select the file completion percentage value (or letter) to view/download the respective file. If you are having problems downloading files, and you're using Internet Explorer, you may need to change the settings on your browser. In particular, if you are receiving this error message: "Internet Explorer was not able to to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." you will need to change your browser settings. This occurs because the SOPAC data browser utility obtains data from the SOPAC ftp server at garner.ucsd.edu. This server requires users to login as "anonymous", with an e-mail password that includes the "@" symbol. Some versions of Internet Explorer, under certain Microsoft operating systems, do not set the default login name and password to the above. To change this: Enter ftp://garner.ucsd.edu as the url location. This changes the browser to an ftp-specific version. Select File->Login As Click the "Login Anonymously" option Enter your e-mail address as the password You may need to exit, and re-enter Internet Explorer. You will now be able to access our files via the ftp or http versions of Internet Explorer. Another option is to install an ftp service on your PC such as CuteFTP, or to use ftp from a DOS window if available. Please contact the SOPAC webmaster if problems persist.
