Action Item PT-1-8: Hans-Peter Plag and Hanne Heiberg to define the structure of the data flow from Data Centres to user through the Web Page to ask the Data Centres to start uploading. Responsible: Hans-Peter Plag, Deadline: 31 May 2003.

Rational: The final website and the intermediate data server are required to place minimum requirements on software, hardware and procedures at the data centres and users. This requires a heterogenous system, which most available systems do not allow for. Therefore, a specific ESEAS package nneds to be developed.

Status of Action Item PT-1-8: Delayed. In progress. First data up-loaded. The structure, procedures and tools will be discussed at the WP1 meeting in January 2004.

Status of Action Item PT-1-11: Delayed. Some input received but not assessed so far. However, Hans-Peter Plag and Halfdan Pascal Kierulf have developed an initial format for time series, that is sufficiently variable to allow for all necessary information to be added at a later stage. This will be discussed both at the WP1 and WP2 meetings in January and February 2004, respectively.
Reported on 22/01/2004 by Hans-Peter Plag.

Action Item PT-1-12: Hanne Heiberg to send out an inquiry to get the data for the spectra of at least two (tbd) of the control stations for combined plots. Responsible: Hanne Heiberg, Deadline: 31 May 2003.

Rational: The results obtained so far for the control stations differ very much between the groups. For the different spectra produced for the control stations, a plot combining the spectra should be produced for comparison. For that, the partners should submit the data used to produce the plots.

Status of Action Item PT-1-12: Delayed. Some input received but not assessed so far.
Reported at PT-2 by Hans-Peter Plag.

Rational: The results produced by UNOTT using Bernese with IGS products in precise point positioning approach are considerable worse than all other solutions. It is not clear whether this is due to the IGS products or Bernese ppp or the combination of the two. Using GIPSY PPP with IGS, which seems to result in degraded time series, will help to clarify the situation.

Status of Action Item PT-2-14: Unknown.
Reported on 22/01/2004 by Hans-Peter Plag.

Rational: New CGPS sites are in most cases choosen by non-experts (tide gauge operators). In order to avoid unnecessary problems due to unfavourable site conditions, an assessment by CGPS experts is necessary prior to the installation of the site.

Status of Action Item PT-2-26: Open. Up to now, only Ivica Vilibic sent a description (on 09/12/2003) to Richard Bingley and asked for comments. It is not known whether he received any comments so far.
Reported on 22/01/2004 by Hans-Peter Plag.

Rational: Experience shows that GPS conditions can vary considerably over short distances and without actual measurements, it is extremely difficult to assess GPS conditions thoroughly. In order to ensure good site quality, test observations with GPS receivers of geodetic quality are required.

Status of Action Item PT-2-27: Open. This important AI has to be taken up at the WP4 workshop, where actually results of the test observations are supposed to be discussed.
Reported on 22/01/2004 by Hans-Peter Plag.

Responsible: Lesley J. Rickards, Deadline: 30 June 2004.

Rational: A standard software package for quality control compliant to the quality control document is a necessary step towards a homogeneous ESEAS data quality. Initially, the software is made available for down-load. However, a next step should be to have the software installed on the ESEAS Data Server.

















Action Item WP4-2-1: Dov Rosen to prepare a table of the CGPS sites to be established and include key parameters concerning the status (description available, test measurements done, data processed, results). Responsible: Dov Rosen, Deadline: 12 February 2004.

Rational: This experiment is done in order to check whether older IGS products are of sufficient quality to create ESEAS time series. At least GIPSY PPP and Bernese network solution should be compared, but preferably all ACs should participate. It could also be worthwhile to process all data for approx. five stations from Jan 2000 to present, since this would give a chance to determine and compare long-term rates.

Status of Action Item WP2-3-2: Closed. The results will be presented at PT-3.
Reported at PT-3 by Hans-Peter Plag.
