Westerstrand Messages
The Westerstrand messages, WSTRAND and WSTRAND_Y2K, are time telegrams, which
provide local time for the Norwegian North Sea. The time indicated by these telegrams is the
UTC received from the GPS receiver, adjusted with the proper time zone and daylight saving
time. Daylight saving changes are automatically detected according to Table 23. The
messages are output once per minute at second = 0 on binary format.
The difference between the WSTRAND message and the WSTRAND_Y2K message, is the
output of the year field. While WSTRAND outputs e.g. year 2002 as 102, WSTRAND_Y2K
outputs year 2002 as 2.
The WSTRAND message is compatible with DARPS 12.
