They help to densify EOP measurements and to monitor systemic biases in observing programs. ************************************ Operators are reminded NOT to drudg S2 experiments at the station, but rather use the snap(*.snp), listing(*.sum) and proc (*.prc) files provided for Sv, Kk and Tc stations on ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov. in the ivsmisc account in the E3_sessions directory. CGLBI Stations will find the files on their field systems. Note that this schedule uses the SLP recording speed, tapes are changed every 6 hours. 4 Tapes sets are used at all stations. ************************************ S2 Setups: ========== Make sure the DAS and RT are Synced and validated to UTC!
