Inventory of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2016) (NCEI Accession 0159588)

This dataset contains information about continuously operating reference stations (CORS) and the networks that
they belong to throughout the Gulf of Mexico region, compiled from responses by network operators. Station
information includes the 4-character site ID, location, type of equipment, specifics on communication, and
redundancy on power and communication of the station. Network information includes ownership and maintenance
of the stations, if any stations are geodetically tied or co-located with a water level observing station,
where the data is stored, future expansion or reduction plans, and what the current needs and gaps an
operator faces with the network. Stations are continuously being installed, updated and un-installed so this
dataset is only a completed snapshot of stations in 2016. This dataset should not be used as a status map of
stations in a local area, if status is needed on a specific location, sensor map URLs for each of the
networks can be found in the general question answers.
