Operation and utilization of continuously observing GNSS stations

Since 1998, DGFI is driving in cooperation with institutions of several countries a number of continuously observing GNSS stations. These stations are processed in the frame of different projects, e.g., IGS Tide Gauge Benchmark Monitoring (TIGA), IGS Regional Network Associate Analysis Centre for SIRGAS (IGS RNAAC SIR), IGS Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX), Monitoring crustal deformations in the Alpine Region, etc. The stations are controlled on-line and the data taking and data transfer are completely automatized. At some DGFI stations, the GNSS equipment was renewed/updated by our partners and the management of the stations was accordingly transferred. The observation data are routinely processed and weekly solutions for station positions are regularly computed.
