framework, based on continuous observation and analysis of GNSS data in the Asia-Pacific region. ARP Antenna Reference Point – the physically accessible point on a GNSS antenna to which all measurements related to that antenna are referred. AuScope An Australian federal program funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). A component of this program is the installation of up to 100 GNSS CORS and other geodetic technology for an increased understanding of the Australian tectonic plate and improvement of the national geodetic reference frame. DOMES Directory of MERIT Sites – historically, the DOMES numbering system was designed at the start of the MERIT campaign in the early 1980s in order to give an unambiguous identifier to all instrument reference points and markers. Since 1988, a DOMES number has been issued for all stations contributing to the ITRF. Elevation mask A GNSS receiver setting that determines whether GNSS signals are recorded below a certain angle above the horizon. IGS International GNSS Service - An international federation of agencies that pool resources to operate a global CORS network whose data is used, amongst other purposes, to generate precise GNSS products in support of Earth science research. Multipath Errors in GNSS observations caused by reflected GNSS signals interfering with the direct GNSS signal because of their common time origin but different path lengths. NGS : A United States of America Federal agency that manages the national coordinate system and a GNSS antenna calibration service. NMS Network Management System – a combination of hardware and software that monitors the components of a computer network and informs an operator whenever an outage occurs. NTRIP RTCM-Special Committee 10410.x Standard for Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol is an application-level protocol for streaming GNSS data over the Internet. PDU Power Distribution Unit – a device that manages the distribution of power to network components. Regulation 13 The process of verification of a reference standard of a position-measurement in accordance with Regulation 13 of the National Measurement Regulations 1999 and the National
