This page describes the Suominet Station SG33 and has links to CORS data.  The GPS and meteorological data are being collected and transformed into Receiver Independent Exchange Format  ( RINEX )data and copied into 15 minute meteorological  files and hourly  CORS - Continuously Operating Reference Stations files that fit the CORS data structure.  The UTEP site is part of  Cooperative CORS.

The UTEP station log can be obtained from the following link: utep_log.txt

The coordinate page can be found at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-cors/pv_ret.prl?datum=ITRF00&siteId=utep

The link below will take you to the CORS data.  This data is archived in one hour zipped files under the following data structure: rinex/year/julian_day/hour_files (ie. rinex/2004/093/utep093a.zip).  The name "utep" identifies the station name, "093" is julian day, letter "a" is for hour 00:00 to 01:00.
