Enhancement of the EUREF permanent network services and products

Abstract

This paper describes the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN) and the efforts made to monitor and improve the quality of the EPN products and services. It is shown that the EPN is becoming a multi-GNSS tracking network and that the EPN Central Bureau and the Analysis Centers are preparating to include the new satellite signals in their routine operations. Thanks to the EPN Special Project on "Reprocessing", set up early 2009, EPN products with much better quality and homogeneity will be generated. The Special Project on "Real-time analysis" will improve the reliability of the EPN real-time data streams and develop new EPN real-time products. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
