Long-duration GPS record from Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, 2004-2007

Dual-frequency GPS data from a single receiver installed on the surface of Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica.

The instrument was operated from late 2004 to early 2007. Gaps in the data set occur, through periods of power loss in the winters and during station relocations.

Funding was provided by NERC Antarctic Funding Initiative (AFI) GR3/G005,

NERC under the British Antarctic Survey National Capability programme, Polar Science for Planet Earth,

Leverhulme Trust Fellowship (to T Murray),

and RCUK Academic Fellowship (to M A King).

Statement

Position errors (95% confidence limits) are 0.02-0.03 m (horizontal) and 0.05 m (vertical).

For details see Murray et. al, 2007 (doi:10.1029/2007GL031207) and King et. al, 2010 (doi:10.3189/002214310791190848).

Gaps exist in the time series through periods of power loss in the winters and during station relocations.
