0.2 First Revision
The first documentation of the RINEX Version 2 Format was published by
W. Gurtner and G. Mader in the CSTG GPS Bulletin of September/October 1990.
The main reason for a revision is the new treatment of antispoofing data by
the RINEX format (see chapter 7). Chapter 4 gives a recommendation for data
compression procedures, especially useful when large amounts of data are
exchanged through computer networ s. In Table A3 in the original paper the
definition of the "PGM / RUN BY / DATE" navigation header record was
missing, although the example showed it. The redefinition of AODE/AODC to
IODE/IODC also as ed for an update of the format description. For consistency
reasons we also defined a Version 2 format for the Meteorological Data files
(inclusion of a END OF HEADER record and an optional MARKER NUMBER record).
The slight modification (or rather the definition of a bit in the Loss of Loc
Indicator unused so far) to flag AS data is so small a change that we decided
to NOT increase the version number!
0.3 Later Revisions
* URA Clarification (10-Dec-93):
The user range accuracy in the Navigation Message File did not contain
a definition of the units: There existed two ways of interpretation:
Either the 4 bit value from the original message or the converted value
in meters according to GPS ICD-200. In order to simplify the interpretation
for the user of the RINEX files I propose the bits to be converted into
meters prior to RINEX file creation.
* GLONASS Extensions:
In March 1997 a proposal for extensions to the current RINEX definitions
based on experiences collected with GLONASS only and mixed GPS/GLONASS data
files was circulated among several instrument manufacturers and software
developers.
The results of the call for comments have been wor ed into this document.
A separate document (glonass.txt) summarizes just the necessary extensions.
* A blan satellite identifier is allowed in pure GPS files only
* Met sensor description and position records were added to facilitate the
precise use of met values.
* Description and examples for wavelength factors and their temporary changes
(bit 1 of LLI) clarified.
* The RINEX documentation distributed in
the GLONASS satellite cloc offset and
defined identically to the GPS values.
Document consulted had a sign error in
spring 1997 contained definitions for

drift with the intention to have them
Unfortunately the GLONASS Interface
one of the formulae.
The values should be stored into the RINEX file as -TauN, +GammaN, -TauC.
The original definition as ed for -TauN, -GammaN, +TauC. See paragraph 8.2.
To avoid problems with files created with the original definitions a real
valued version number (2.01) has been introduced for GLONASS nav mess files.
* IGS decided to use the Hatana a compression scheme for RINEX observation
files. Below the corresponding RINEX file name conventions are included
as recommendations. The DOS naming (extension .yyE) was wrongly set to
.yyY in the March 1998 version of the document.
* GPS wee : The GPS wee number in all RINEX files is a continuous number
not affected by the 1024 roll-over, it runs from 1023 over 1024 to 1025 etc.
* A discrepancy between the definition of the header line fields of met sensor
description and position in Table A5 and the example in Table A9 was removed.
The latter was correct.
* Clarification for phase data format overflows: Add or subtract a suitable
number of cycles, set LLI flag.
* Clarification for the GLONASS satellite identifier: "Almanac number" was
somewhat ambiguous. It has been replaced by "slot number" within the
satellite constellation.
0.4 Version 2.10 Modifications
The modifications leading to Version 2.10 include:
-
Fractional version number

Zero padding of 2-digit year values (years 2000-2009 --> 00-09)
Field length of time of first obs (1/10 microsecond resolution)
Non-integer sampling rate (INTERVAL header record)
Header records now allowed after all epoch flags >1
Additional obs types in obs files: S1, S2 (raw signal strength values)
Receiver cloc offset header line to clarify applied corrections
Default wavelength factor header line mandatory
Inmarsat GPS payloads: New satellite system definition, new nav mess files
Curve fit interval in GPS nav mess file
Redefinition of SV health value in GPS nav mess file
Additional obs types in met files (ZD, ZT)
0.5 Version 2.10 Revisions

* "Header records now allowed after all epoch flags >2" in paragraph 0.4
should read ">1"
* The original intention of the RINEX format was to allow for variable record
lengths of the ASCII files to minimize the file size. Empty fields or
un nown values can either be represented by zeroes or blan space. Most

RINEX converters removed trailing blan to further reduce the file size. The
documentation was not clear enough to explicitly allow for this practice
(paragraphs 2, 5.3, 9.1).
* The time system identifier of GPS observations generated by GEO payloads
defaults to GPS (explicitly stated now in paragraph 9.1)
* The time system identifier in the TIME OF LAST OBS header record has to
be identical to the one in the TIME OF FIRST OBS record
* Clarification of Table A2 to be compatible with examples of Table A7:
For event flags without significant epoch the epoch fields can be left blan .
Table A6: Format for epoch contained obvious errors
* Clarification of the floating point exponent format in navigation message
files (two digits, E,e,D,d letters)
0.6 Version 2.11
The modifications of 2.10 leading to Version 2.11 include
-
Definition of the Galileo satellite system code

Definition of the code for Galileo System Time (GAL)
Definition of the frequency numbers for Galileo and new GPS observables
Observation code for L2C pseudorange (C2)
Some clarifications in the GEO NAV Message files
- Transmission time of message

respective header label in colums 61-80.
- The newer GLONASS satellites started using frequency numbers in the 0 to
-7 range. Table A11 BROADCAST ORBIT - 2 was modified accordingly.
1. THE PHILOSOPHY OF RINEX
The first proposal for the "Receiver Independent Exchange Format" RINEX has
been developed by the Astronomical Institute of the University of Berne for
the easy exchange of the GPS data to be collected during the large European
GPS campaign EUREF 89, which involved more than 60 GPS receivers of 4
different manufacturers. The governing aspect during the development was
the following fact:
Most geodetic processing software for GPS data use a well-defined set of
observables:
- the carrier-phase measurement at one or both carriers (actually being a
measurement on the beat frequency between the received carrier of the
satellite signal and a receiver-generated reference frequency).
- the pseudorange (code) measurement, equivalent to the difference of the
|
|
time of reception (expressed in the time frame of the receiver) and the
time of transmission (expressed in the time frame of the satellite) of a
distinct satellite signal.
- the observation time being the reading of the receiver cloc at the
instant of validity of the carrier-phase and/or the code measurements.
Usually the software assumes that the observation time is valid for both
the phase AND the code measurements, AND for all satellites observed.
Consequently all these programs do not need most of the information that is
usually stored by the receivers: They need phase, code, and time in the
above mentioned definitions, and some station-related information li e
station name, antenna height, etc.
2. GENERAL FORMAT DESCRIPTION
Currently the format consists of seven ASCII file types:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Observation Data File

Navigation Message File
Meteorological Data File
GLONASS Navigation Message File
GEO Navigation Message File
Satellite and Receiver Cloc Date File
SBAS Broadcast Data File
The format definition of the cloc files has been published in 1998
in a separate document by Jim Ray and Werner Gurtner, available at the IGS
Central Bureau Information System:
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/rinex_cloc .txt
The format definition of the Space-based augmentation system (SBAS) broadcast
data file has been published in 2004 by Norbert Suard, Werner Gurtner and Lou
Estey, available at the IGS Central Bureau Information System:
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/data/format/geo_sbas.txt
Each file type consists of a header section and a data section. The header
section contains global information for the entire file and is placed at
the beginning of the file. The header section contains header labels in
columns 61-80 for each line contained in the header section. These labels
are mandatory and must appear exactly as given in these descriptions and
examples.
The format has been optimized for minimum space requirements independent
from the number of different observation types of a specific receiver by
indicating in the header the types of observations to be stored. In
computer systems allowing variable record lengths the observation records
may be ept as short as possible. Trailing blan s can be removed from the
records. The maximum record length is 80 bytes per record.
Each Observation file and each Meteorological Data file basically contain
the data from one site and one session. RINEX Version 2 also allows to
include observation data from more than one site subsequently occupied by
a roving receiver in rapid static or inematic applications. Although Version 2
allows to insert header records into the data field we do not recommend to
concatenate data of more than one receiver (or antenna) into the same file,
even if the data do not overlap in time.
If data from more than one receiver has to be exchanged it would not be
economical to include the identical satellite messages collected by the
different receivers several times. Therefore the Navigation Message File
from one receiver may be exchanged or a composite Navigation Message File
created containing non-redundant information from several receivers in
order to ma e the most complete file.
The format of the data records of the RINEX Version 1 Navigation Message
file is identical to the former NGS exchange format.
The actual format descriptions as well as examples are given in the Tables
at the end of the paper.
3. DEFINITION OF THE OBSERVABLES
GPS observables include three fundamental quantities that need to be defined:
Time, Phase, and Range.
TIME:
The time of the measurement is the receiver time of the received signals.
It is identical for the phase and range measurements and is identical for
all satellites observed at that epoch. It is expressed in GPS time (not
Universal Time).
PSEUDO-RANGE:
The pseudo-range (PR) is the distance from the receiver antenna to the
satellite antenna including receiver and satellite cloc offsets (and
other biases, such as atmospheric delays):
PR = distance +
c * (receiver cloc offset - satellite cloc offset +
other biases)
so that the pseudo-range reflects the actual behavior of the receiver
and satellite cloc s. The pseudo-range is stored in units of meters.
See also clarifications for pseudoranges in mixed GPS/GLONASS files in
chapter 8.1.
PHASE:
The phase is the carrier-phase measured in whole cycles. The half-cycles
measured by squaring-type receivers must be converted to whole cycles and
flagged by the wavelength factor in the header section (GPS only).
The phase changes in the same sense as the range (negative doppler). The
phase observations between epochs must be connected by including the
integer number of cycles. The phase observations will not contain any
systematic drifts from intentional offsets of the reference oscillators.
The observables are not corrected for external effects li e atmospheric
refraction, satellite cloc offsets, etc.
If the receiver or the converter software adjusts the measurements using
the real-time-derived receiver cloc offsets dT(r), the consistency of the
3 quantities phase / pseudo-range / epoch must be maintained, i.e. the
receiver cloc correction should be applied to all 3 observables:
Time(corr) = Time(r) - dT(r)

PR(corr)
= PR(r) - dT(r)*c
phase(corr) = phase(r) - dT(r)*freq
DOPPLER:
The sign of the doppler shift as additional observable is defined as usual:
Positive for approaching satellites.
4. THE EXCHANGE OF RINEX FILES:
We recommend using the following naming convention for RINEX files:

When data transmission times or storage volumes are critical we recommend
compressing the files prior to storage or transmission using the UNIX
"compress" und "uncompress" programs. Compatible routines are available on
VAX/VMS and PC/DOS systems, as well.

5. RINEX VERSION 2 FEATURES
The following section contains features that have been introduced for RINEX
Version 2:
5.1 Satellite Numbers:
Version 2 has been prepared to contain GLONASS or other satellite systems'
observations. Therefore we have to be able to distinguish the satellites
of the different systems: We precede the 2-digit satellite number with a
system identifier.
snn
s:
nn:
satellite
G or blan
R
S
E
system identifier
: GPS
: GLONASS
: Geostationary signal payload
: Galileo
- PRN (GPS, Galileo), slot number (GLONASS)

- PRN-100 (GEO)
Note: G is mandatory in mixed GPS/GLONASS/Galileo files

(blan default modified in April 1997)
5.2 Order of the Header Records:
As the record descriptors in columns 61-80 are mandatory, the programs

reading a RINEX Version 2 header are able to decode the header records with
formats according to the record descriptor, provided the records have been
first read into an internal buffer.
We therefore propose to allow free ordering of the header records, with the
following exceptions:
- The "RINEX VERSION / TYPE" record must be the first record in a file
- The default "WAVELENGTH FACT L1/2" record must precede all records defining
wavelength factors for individual satellites
- The "# OF SATELLITES" record (if present) should be immediately followed
by the corresponding number of "PRN / # OF OBS" records. (These records
may be handy for documentary purposes. However, since they may only be
created after having read the whole raw data file we define them to be
optional.
5.3 Missing Items, Duration of the Validity of Values
Items that are not nown at the file creation time can be set to zero or
blan or the respective record may be completely omitted. Consequently
items of missing header records will be set to zero or blan by the program
reading RINEX files. Trailing blan s may be truncated from the record.
Each value remains valid until changed by an additional header record.
5.4 Event Flag Records
The "number of satellites" also corresponds to the number of records of the
same epoch followed. Therefore it may be used to s ip the appropriate
number of records if certain event flags are not to be evaluated in detail.
5.5 Receiver Cloc
Offset
A large number of users as ed to optionally include a receiver-derived

cloc offset into the RINEX format. In order to remove uncertainties if
the data (epoch, pseudorange, phase) have been previously corrected or not
by the reported cloc offset, RINEX Version 2.10 requests a clarifying (new)
header record.
It would then be possible to reconstruct the original observations if
necessary.
As the output format for the receiver-derived cloc offset is limited to
nanoseconds the offset should be rounded to the nearest nanosecond before it
is used to correct the observables in order to guarantee correct
reconstruction.
6. ADDITIONAL HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Versions
Programs developed to read RINEX files have to verify the version number.
Files of newer versions may loo

the newer features
different even if they do not use any of
6.2 Leading Blan s in CHARACTER fields

We propose that routines to read RINEX Version 2 files automatically delete
leading blan s in any CHARACTER input field. Routines creating RINEX
Version 2 files should also left-justify all variables in the CHARACTER
fields.
6.3 Variable-length Records
DOS, and other, files may have variable record lengths, so we recommend to
first read each observation record into a 80-character blan string and
decode the data afterwards. In variable length records, empty data fields
at the end of a record may be missing, especially in the case of the
optional receiver cloc offset.
6.4 Blan Fields
In view of future modifications we recommend to carefully s ip any fields
currently defined to be blan (Format fields nX), because they may be assigned
to new contents in future versions.
6.5 2-Digit Years
RINEX version 2 stores the years of data records with two digits only. The
header of observation files contains a TIME OF FIRST OBS record with the full
four-digit year, the GPS nav messages contain the GPS wee numbers. From these
two data items the unambiguous year can easily be reconstructed.
A hundred-year ambiguity occurs in the met data and GLONASS and GEO nav
messages: Instead of introducing a new TIME OF FIRST OBS header line it is
safe to stipulate that any two-digit years in RINEX Version 1 and Version
2.xx files are understood to represent
80-99: 1980-1999
00-79: 2000-2079
Full 4-digit year fields could then be defined by a future RINEX version 3.
6.6 Fit Interval
Bit 17 in word 10 of subframe 2 is a "fit interval" flag which indicates the
curve-fit interval used by the GPS Control Segment in determining the
ephemeris parameters, as follows (see ICD-GPS-200, 20.3.3.4.3.1):
0 = 4 hours
1 = greater than 4 hours.
Together with the IODC values and Table 20-XII the actual fit interval can be
determined. The second value in the last record of each message shall contain
the fit interval in hours determined using IODC, fit flag, and Table 20-XII,
according to the Interface Document ICD-GPS-200.
6.7 Satellite Health

The health of the signal components (bits 18 to 22 of word three in subframe
one) are now (Version 2.10) included into the health value reported in the
second field of the sixth nav mess records.
A program reading RINEX files could easily decide if bit 17 only or all bits
(17-22) have been written:
RINEX Value: 0
RINEX Value: 1
RINEX Value: >32
Health OK
Health not OK (bits 18-22 not stored)
Health not OK (bits 18-22 stored)
6.8 Transmission Time of Message (Navigation message file)

The transmission time of message can be shortly before midnight
Saturday/Sunday, the TOE and TOC of the message already in the next wee .
As the reported wee in the RINEX nav message (BROADCAST ORBIT - 5 record)
goes with ToE (this is different from the GPS wee in the original satellite
message!), the transmission time of message should be reduced by 604800
(i.e., will become negative) to also refer to the same wee .
6.9 Un nown / Undefined Observation Types and Header Records
It is a good practice for a program reading RINEX files to ma e sure that it
does not crash if it encounters un nown observation types or header records
by properly s ipping them and optionally reporting them to the user.
7. RINEX UNDER ANTISPOOFING (AS)
Some receivers generate code delay differences between the first and second
frequency using cross-correlation techniques when AS is on and may recover
the phase observations on L2 in full cycles. Using the C/A code delay on
L1 and the observed difference it is possible to generate a code delay
observation for the second frequency.
Other receivers recover P code observations by brea ing down the Y code
into P and W code.
Most of these observations may suffer from an increased noise level. In
order to enable the postprocessing programs to ta e special actions, such
AS-infected observations are flagged using bit number 2 of the Loss of Loc
Indicators (i.e. their current values are increased by 4).
8. GLONASS Extensions
8.1 RINEX Observation File
8.1.1 Time System Identifier
The original RINEX Version 2 needed one major supplement, the explicit
definition of the time system:
GLONASS is basically running on UTC (or, more precisely, GLONASS system time
lin ed to UTC(SU)), i.e. the time tags are given in UTC and not GPS time.
In order to remove possible misunderstandings and ambiguities, the header

records "TIME OF FIRST OBS" and (if present) "TIME OF LAST OBS" in GLONASS and
GPS observation files _can_, in mixed GLONASS/GPS observation files _must_
contain a time system identifier defining the system that all time tags in the
file are referring to: "GPS" to identify GPS time, "GLO" to identify the
GLONASS UTC time system. Pure GPS files default to GPS and pure GLONASS files
default to GLO.
Format definitions see Table A1.
Hence, the two possible time tags differ by the current number of leap seconds.
In order to have the current number of leap seconds available we recommend
to include a LEAP SECOND line into the RINEX header.
If there are nown non-integer biases between the "GPS receiver cloc "
and "GLONASS receiver cloc " in the same receiver, they should be applied.
In this case the respective code and phase observations have to be corrected,
too (c * bias if expressed in meters).
Un nown such biases will have to be solved for during the post processing
The small differences (modulo 1 second) between GLONASS system time, UTC(SU),
UTC(USNO) and GPS system time have to be dealt with during the post-processing
and not before the RINEX conversion. It may also be necessary to solve for
remaining differences during the post-processing.
8.1.2 Pseudorange Definition
The pseudorange (code) measurement is defined to be equivalent to the
difference of the time of reception (expressed in the time frame of the
receiver) and the time of transmission (expressed in the time frame of the
satellite) of a distinct satellite signal.
If a mixed-mode GPS/GLONASS receiver refers all pseudorange observations to
one receiver cloc only,
- the raw GLONASS pseudoranges will show the current number of leap seconds
between GPS time and GLONASS time if the receiver cloc is running in the
GPS time frame
- the raw GPS pseudoranges will show the negative number of leap seconds
between GPS time and GLONASS time if the receiver cloc is running in the
GLONASS time frame
In order to avoid misunderstandings and to eep the code observations within
the format fields, the pseudoranges must be corrected in this case as follows:
PR(GPS) := PR(GPS) + c * leap_seconds
if generated with a receiver cloc

running in the GLONASS time frame
PR(GLO) := PR(GLO) - c * leap_seconds
if generated with a receiver cloc

running in the GPS time frame
to remove the contributions of the leap seconds from the pseudoranges.

"leap_seconds" is the actual number of leap seconds between GPS and GLONASS
(UTC) time, as broadcast in the GPS almanac and distributed in Circular T
of BIPM.
8.1.3 More Than 12 Satellites per Epoch

The
the
per
see
format of the epoch / satellite line in the observation record part of

RINEX Observation files has only been defined for up to 12 satellites
epoch. We explicitly define now the format of the continuation lines,
Table A2.
8.2 RINEX Navigation Files for GLONASS

As the GLONASS navigation message differs in contents from the GPS message
too much, a special GLONASS navigation message file format has been defined.
The header section and the first data record (epoch, satellite cloc
information) is similar to the GPS navigation file. The following records
contain the satellite position, velocity and acceleration, the cloc and
frequency biases as well as auxiliary information as health, satellite
frequency (channel), age of the information.
The corrections of the satellite time to UTC are as follows:
GPS
: Tutc = Tsv - af0 - af1 *(Tsv-Toc) - ... - A0 - ... - leap_sec
GLONASS: Tutc = Tsv + TauN - GammaN*(Tsv-Tb)
+ TauC
*** In order to use the same sign conventions for the GLONASS corrections
as in the GPS navigation files, the broadcast GLONASS values are
stored as:
-TauN, +GammaN, -TauC.
The time tags in the GLONASS navigation files are given in UTC (i.e. _not_
Moscow time or GPS time).
File naming convention: See above.
9. RINEX Extensions for Geostationary Satellites (GPS Signal Payloads)
With the implementation of GNSS programs, GPS-li e ranging measurements can be
performed on geostationary navigation payloads.
RINEX Version 2.10 defines the necessary extensions to handle such data in
RINEX files for data exchange and postprocessing purposes.
9.1 RINEX Observation Files for GEO Satellites
A new satellite system identifier has been defined for the geostationary
GPS signal payloads: "S", to be used in the RINEX VERSION / TYPE header line
and in the satellite identifier 'snn', nn being the GEO PRN number minus 100.
e.g.: PRN = 120 --> 'snn' = "S20"
In mixed dual frequency GPS satellite / single frequency GEO payload
observation files the fields for the second frequency observations of GEO
satellites remain blan , are set to zero values or (if last in the record)
can be truncated.
The time system identifier of GEO satellites generating GPS signals defaults
to GPS time.
9.2 RINEX Navigation Message Files for GEO Satellites

As the GEO broadcast orbit format differs from the GPS message a special GEO
navigation message file format has been defined which is nearly identical with
the GLONASS nav mess file format.
The header section contains informations about the generating program,
comments, and the difference between the GEO system time and UTC.
The first data record contains the epoch and satellite cloc information,
the following records contain the satellite position, velocity and
acceleration and auxiliary information such as health, age of the data, etc.
The time tags in the GEO navigation files are given in the GPS time frame,
i.e. not UTC.
The corrections of the satellite time to UTC are as follows:
GEO
: Tutc = Tsv - aGf0 - aGf1 *(Tsv-Toe) - W0 - leap_sec
W0 being the correction to transform the GEO system time to UTC. Toe, aGf0,
aGf1 see below in the format definition tables.
The "Transmission Time of Message" (PRN / EPOCH / SV CLK header record) is
expressed in GPS seconds of the wee . It mar s the beginning of the message
transmission. It has to refer to the same GPS wee as the "Epoch of
Ephemerides". It has to be adjusted by - or + 604800 seconds, if necessary
(which would ma e it lower than zero or larger than 604800, respectively).
It is a redefinition of the Version 2.10 "Message frame time".
"Health" shall be defined as follows:
- Bits 0 to 3 equal to Health in Message Type 17 (MT17)
- bit 4 is set to 1 if MT17 health is unavailable
- bit 5 is set to 1 if the URA index is equal to 15
In the SBAS message definitions bit 3 of the health is currently mar ed as
'reserved'.
|
In case of bit 4 set to 1, it is recommended to set bits 0,1,2,3 to 1, too.
"User Range Accuracy" (URA):
The same convention for converting the URA index to meters is used as
with GPS. Set URA = 32767 meters if URA index = 15.
"IODN" (Issue Of Data Navigation)
The IODN is defined as the 8 first bits after the message type 9,
called IODN in RTCA DO229, Annex A and Annex B and called "spare" in Annex C.
The "CORR TO SYSTEM" TIME header record has been replaced by the more general
record "D-UTC A0,A1,T,W,S,U" in Version 2.11.
10. Version 2.11 Modifications
The main driver for version 2.11 was the easy inclusion of Galileo and new GPS
observables into the RINEX format. As these modifications are VERY MINOR (no
changes in the actual formats) many RINEX readers will not have to be
modified at all or to a small amount (accept version number 2.11), only.
After the first introduction of the "GEO navigation message file" in Version
2.10 feedbac from the SBAS community lead to a number of clarifications/
redefinitions that were included in the Version 2.11 modifications.
10.1 Galileo and New GPS Observables
10.1.1 New Observation Codes
In Version 2.10 only the observation codes for two frequencies were define
(Table A1).
The new codes for GPS L2C/L5 and Galileo codes are introduced as follows:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The current two-character observation code does not easily allow a further
refinement of the code to account for the different possibilities how to
generate a specific observable, e.g., with respect to the underlying
code (P,Y,M code in GPS) or the channels (I,Q, A,B,C in Galileo, I,Q in the
new GPS L5 frequency, GPS L2C). The next RINEX version (3.0) will increase the
length of the observation codes to allow a more detailed definition.
The definition of observations for Transit Doppler is obsolete and has been
removed from Version 2.11
10.1.2 Wavelength Factors
The WAVELENGTH FACT L1/2 header record defining the factor, the carrier
wavelength has to be divided with for ambiguity resolution, has been
introduced because of receivers generating GPS phase observations under
antispoofing with one cycle corresponding to half the carrier wavelength
only (squaring technique). Galileo observables will not be generated by
squaring. We therefore define the WAVELENGTH FACT L1/2 header record to be
valid for L1 and L2 GPS phase observables only. All wavelength factors default
to 1. This header record can therefore be declared to be optional.
10.1.3 Code for Galileo Satellite System
Use "E" to indicate the Galileo Satellite System in the header of RINEX
observation files.
10.1.4 Galileo System Time
Include GAL as Galileo System Time into TIME OF FIRST OBS and TIME OF LAST OBS
header records.
10.2 Clarifications in the GEO Navigation Message File
The following clarifications/modifications were introduced (see chapter 9.2):
-
Health word
Issue of Data (Navigation) IODN
Correction to system time
Transmission time of message
10.3 New observables for RINEX met files

Wind speed (ms), wind direction (from where the wind blows), and an
incremental rain fall value (1/10 mm): rain accumulation since the last
recording, hail indicator
