The GPS site is collocated with a new tide gauge. You can find the site log at GPS data from 2003-09-17 (DOY 260) is available at CDDIS and data since 2003-08-22 (DOY 234) will soon be uploaded. So far, operations have been as reliable as our other Arctic sites; i.e., expect occasional data gaps and delays in data delivery. Please note that the monument (half of a wood telephone pole) is installed in permafrost to a depth of about 10 m. We do not yet know how stable this monument will be but will be monitoring it from INVK close by.
