Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- Data obtained from R2R site
- Added parameter header

Versions:
version 1, 2014-12-22: the lat and lon column names were switched so it mapped near Antarctica.
version 2, 2017-12-13: corrected lat and lon column names. Now maps near Bermuda as expected.

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.
