2015 Fall update
I got around to computing the METH station position for Sondy. I get:
67 00 21.64339
309 17 50.27133
71.8801 m
for the LC phase center.
This site uses a pole mounted to the roof of the building as an antenna mount, and thus there is no real fiducial mark, unlike Thule. Curiously, this position is 7 cm lower than it was during last spring's campaign. I can't really explain the discrepancy, except that perhaps something about the pole changed (was remounted, shortened, or something). I'm very confident in this solution, though, so I'm convinced the change is real.
Also, we've been informed that that building won't be available to us any more, as they are cutting off power to it and decommissioning the building. We'll have to switch to a new site for next spring.
2014
over the years, the danish survey group has put an antenna on
top of the building, and it is fine for short-term occupations, my only concern
is motion of the building adding a yearly variable to the already complex
geologic movements in kang. i'd think that it almost insures a recalculation of
meth's position every year. but i suppose john does that calculation every
year, anyway to keep track of the geo-motion.
the hut isn't attached to the earth, just resting on top of it.
2013
This is the pole attached to the met-hut where we mounted the Javad glonass choke ring antenna in 2013 spring.
