This service, currently a 72 hour buffer of hourly RINEX data (approx. 75 sites), is an attempt to mirror similar services provided by CDDISA and BKG. The cooperation of all agencies providing data and/or advice to SOPAC with regard to this service has been, and continues to be, greatly appreciated. Among the various agencies SOPAC has been working with to help provide this service are: AUSLIG BKG CDDIS CNES ESA GEODAF GFZ JPL NOAA NRCAN PGC UNAVCO UTPNG Already SOPAC has seen considerable usage of this service since its inception just over two months ago, accounting for roughly 200,000 external transfers in August alone. At this point we feel it merits a formal announcement and invite any comments and/or feedback you may have regarding this recent addition to the SOPAC public GPS archive. Accordingly we would like to thank all of those individuals who have provided SOPAC with their comments, data and/or suggestions during this process. All questions can be sent directly to archive at sopac.ucsd.edu .
