The Plate Boundary Observatory has a made a broad range of GPS data products available to support users who wish to do their own data processing as well as those who only want to use higher-level processed data in their research.
Available data products include raw data from the GPS receivers (Level 0 data), quality-checked data in RINEX format at a 15-second sample rate (Level 1 data), post-processed time series, velocities, and accompanying files (Level 2 data), and key metadata such as station positions and IGS site logs. File formats for each of these data products are available via the links below.
