GPS Antenna Phase Maps Metadata for Real-Time POD Processing

Metadata files contain names and URLs for antenna phase map data used in real-time GPS Precise Orbit Determination (POD) processing. The product is generated by JPL's Global Differential GPS Operations Centers and distributed by NASA's CDDIS. It includes the specific IGS ANTEX file name and identifiers for filter sources used in related GPS products.

Use Cases

• Validating real-time GPS POD filter sources by referencing the provided 'pos', 'quat', and 'tdp' product identifiers.
• Linking processing outputs to the specific IGS ANTEX antenna phase map file used.
• Supporting quality control for GNSS-based atmospheric and geodetic studies by providing traceable metadata.

Strengths

• Data is produced by a major geodetic institution, JPL's Global Differential GPS Operations Centers.
• The dataset is actively maintained, with a last updated date of 2026-03-13 noted on two platforms.

Limitations

• Key details like row count, column names, and dataset size are unavailable across all sources.
• There is a conflict on license information, with one source listing 'other-license-specified' and another listing 'None'.
