RINEX MET Observation Types
If RINEX logging is configured, the meteorological data will be logged in a Meteorlogical Data File with the file extension .YYm.
The table below describes the RINEX observation types.
Wind azimuth (deg) from where the wind blows
Rain increment (1/10 mm): Rain accumulation since last measurement
Hail indicator non-zero: Hail detected since last measurement
RINEX Auxiliary File Definition
Background Information
The Auxiliary files are used to store data recorded by tilt sensors connected to a GNSS reference station. The auxiliary file is not
officially part of the RINEX standard.
This definition follows the RINEX v2 standards data notation. An asterisk “*” to the side of the line indicates an optional record or field.
Optional fields should be output as spaces if no data or value can be output.
RINEX Header
TYPE
Name of program creating current file
Name of agency creating current file
Date of file creation. The date format is written
according to the date format of the corresponding
RINEX observation file version.
Station Name (preferably identical to MARKER
NAME in the associated observation file).
Station Number (preferably identical to MARKER
NUMBER in the associated observation file).
OBSERV
Number of different observation types stored in the
file.
TN: TILT in Y axis, usually aligned to North
TE: TILT in X axis, usually aligned to East
TT: Temperature of the tilt device (*)
TYPE / ACC
Record is repeated for
each observation type
found in
# / TYPES OF
OBSERV record.
The sensor model Manufacturer.
The accuracy of the measurement (same units as
obs values).
Denotes the measurement type relating to the
aforementioned “SENSOR MOD/TYPE/ACC”.
Same as used above in “TYPES OF OBSERV
(TN/TE/TT)”.
Record is repeated for each observation type found
in # / TYPES OF OBSERV record.
The approximate X, Y, Z position of the sensor –
Geocentric coordinates (ITRF).
