Description

Longitude, latitude, date and time (UTC) (XYT) cruise track data were subsampled from the ship's underway sampling system (daily WHOI Athena *.CSV files of 1 minute ) using a BCO-DMO perl script. The underway data acquisition system records the best quality navigation data from several satellite systems: (2) Northstar 941 XD differential GPS, Furuno 1850 GPS, C-Nav dynamic GPS and Furuno GP-90D WAAS/dGPS.

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.
