Fagard" Subject: Station renovation at Cachoeira Paulista (Brazil) Dear Colleagues, The DORIS station at Cachoeira Paulista (Brazil), installed in August 1992, has been completely renovated. Following a beacon failure in March 2003, no data has been available from this station for one year. The new Starec antenna is supported by a half-meter metal tower, installed on a 5 m high, 50 cm sided load-bearing concrete corner pillar, part of a one-storey building. A new beacon (3.0 model) has been installed. Transmissions from the new station started on March 25. The acronym for the new reference point is CADB. The DOMES number for the new antenna reference point is 41609S002. Its coordinates (ITRF2000, 1997.0) are: X = 4163471.740 m Y = -4163826.247 m Z = -2444514.708 m (sigma: 1 cm) The ITRF2000 velocities for this site (derived from CACB) are: VX = 0.0069 m/y VY = -0.0081 m/y VZ = 0.0080 m/y Best regards, Herve Fagard -- ====================================================================== Herve FAGARD e-mail : herve.fagard@ign.fr Institut Geographique National 94165 SAINT-MANDE CEDEX PHONE : + 33 1 43 98 81 48 FRANCE FAX : + 33 1 43 98 84 50 ====================================================================== Please do not reply directly to this message, but send comments and suggestions to IDS.central.bureau@cls.fr
