Permanent stations of the IGS, EUREF and the national networks: where their data lives and what was installed when.

Station registry FAQ
- Which stations are listed?
- The permanent GNSS stations of the IGS, the EUREF Permanent Network and EPOS, about fifty European national networks (through M3G, EUREF’s metadata system), Geoscience Australia’s networks and NOAA’s CORS network — refreshed weekly from their own metadata services and site logs, and joined with the day archives and real-time casters that carry each station.
- Who publishes the station metadata?
- The networks themselves: IGS site logs, M3G (Royal Observatory of Belgium, CC BY 4.0, doi:10.24414/ROB-GNSS-M3G), the EPN Central Bureau, Geoscience Australia and NOAA NGS. This page summarises what they publish and links to the full site log; positions are approximate and meant for finding stations, not as reference coordinates.
- What does the data licence mean?
- Most stations’ RINEX data is openly licensed — CC BY, CC0, public domain or the IGS terms — and can be used with attribution. Some networks license theirs CC BY-NC (non-commercial use only) or CC BY-ND (no derivative products), and some set an embargo before data is released; those are marked on the station.
