BCO-DMO Processing Notes
- Generated from original zipped ship's SCS data file downloaded from
http://so-gasex.org/data/data_s.html

BCO-DMO Edits
- Original files POSITION_001.elg - POSITION_004.elg catted into one file
- FURUNO_TIME field deleted (redundant)
- date/time fields formatted to BCO-DMO convention
- any blank fields changed to 'nd' (no data)
- data parameter names reformatted to BCO-DMO convention
- original files with 10sec positions, decimated to 1 minute positions

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.
