GNSS Data and Products

Data Quality Monitoring Portal

The EPOS-GNSS data quality monitoring web portal is the public front-end of the “EPOS-GNSS Data Quality Monitoring Service” (DQMS) maintained by the Royal Observatory of Belgium. The DQMS monitors the availability and quality of the daily GNSS data that are made discoverable through the TCS “GNSS data and products”. The information provided by the portal is used e.g., as feedback to GNSS data suppliers or as input to scientists interpreting the results of the GNSS data products. The DQMS portal provides maps and plots that are updated at least daily.

M3G website

M3G stands for “Metadata Management and distribution system for Multiple GNSS Networks”. GNSS station managers use M3G to upload, validate, and distribute their GNSS station metadata such as IGS-style site logs, information about local networks, data owner, DOIs, data license, etc... M3G's primary goal is to collect rich metadata as recommended by the FAIR data principles. M3G's metadata of EPOS-GNSS stations are provided to the EPOS-GNSS Data Gateway and are also available through M3G's APIs and web portal. M3G is maintained by the Royal Observatory of Belgium as a common service of EUREF and EPOS.

GNSS Product Portal

The GNSS Products Portal enables the visualisation and download of GNSS products such as daily and weekly position time series, velocities and strain rate maps. Stations with products can be selected by region, network and Analysis/Combination centre. The graphical interface enables station visualization and multiple queries over stations and associated metadata allowing users to retrieve the desired information in various formats. Download of GNSS products is also made possible using a REST API documented with Swagger.

GNSS Data Gateway Portal

The GNSS Data Gateway is the central point of access of an e-infrastructure that is designed to store and disseminate validated GNSS data and metadata provided by existing Research Infrastructures. The e-infrastructure is based on a top of an unique node, hosted at the GNSS Data Gateway, that centralizes validated file metadata from independent local nodes and validated station metadata from the station metadata submission center (M3G). On the GNSS Data Gateway, users can search and download for available EPOS GNSS data and metadata from all over Europe, including some EUREF Permanent GNSS Network (EPN) ones. Data and metadata are distributed to the public through a web interface and command line clients using a dedicate API.
