abstract: The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) NOAA Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) Network (NCN) provides Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data consisting of carrier phase and code range measurements in support of three dimensional positioning, meteorology, space weather, and geophysical applications throughout the United States, its territories, and a few foreign countries. Surveyors, GIS users, engineers, scientists, and the public at large that collect GPS data can use CORS data to improve the precision of their positions. CORS enhanced post-processed coordinates approach a few centimeters relative to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), both horizontally and vertically. The CORS network is a multi-purpose cooperative endeavor involving government, academic, and private organizations. The sites are independently owned and operated. Each agency shares their data with NGS, and NGS in turn analyzes and distributes the data free of charge.
purpose: The CORS data set enables users to attain centimeter-level positioning for points of interest and can be used to measure crustal motion, moisture content for the lower atmosphere, and total electronic content in the upper atmosphere. NGS publishes coordinates for CORS in several reference frames. This includes the current global reference frame from the International GNSS Service (IGS), and with respect to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) realizations of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) as defined by NGS.
credit: NGS coordinates a network of CORS stations from approximately 200 organizations such as federal, state, and local governments, academia, the private sector, and international groups.

lineage: (LI_Lineage)
statement: GNSS observational data from the CORS network are ingested, translated, and processed by NGS and are posted to the NGS online servers as hourly or daily files, and ultimately retained as daily files in RINEX format. After 30 days, data in the at-sampling rate is copied to the NCEI archive, and NGS online holdings are then decimated to a 30-second sampling rate. Special use case: Certain groups such as the Federal Aviation Administration, make GNSS data available in binary format to NGS. These data are used as input to algorithms for internal NOAA models such as the US-Total Electron Content product. The Data Center, not NGS, has decided to archive the raw data from these stations as a daily tar file consisting of hourly binary files
processStep: (LE_ProcessStep)
description: INGEST: NGS has automated daily routines that harvests daily observational files in either binary or RINEX format at the original sampling rate, the daily broadcast ephemeris files, orbit files, and any corresponding meteorological files. For the special case use of FAA and USCG streaming data that are used as input to NOAA models, the streaming feed is harvested to a binary, incrementally-built hourly file.

description: PROCESSING: Data ingested by NGS are processed into RINEX format and made available online in either an hourly or daily cadence.

The Data Center stages the data for internal NOAA groups, who harvests the data at a predetermined sub-hourly period as input to their algorithms. The completed binary hourly file at the Data Center is kept locally. At the end of the day, a daily tar file consisting of the hourly data are created and staged for archive.
