Summary
Abstract: The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is the designated archive of the Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) data set from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). This record is for the CORS data that has been archived to tape at NGDC. NGS, an office of NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS), coordinates a network of geodetic-quality CORS stations that provide Global Positioning System ... View entire text

Purpose: NGDC archives the CORS data set as per the NOAA/NOS Records Disposition Schedule, section 1602-12.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The United States operates the Global Positioning System (GPS). The term Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has been created to reference all navigation satellite systems. GNSS encompasses the U.S. GPS system, the Russian Federation GLONASS system, ...

Quality ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: The carrier phase observations are accurate to a few centimeters, once biases have been removed.

LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: To become part of the CORS network, each site must pass through NGS' site criteria standards and maintain its integrity. Automated routines at NGDC pull data staged by NGS at regular intervals.
