Ocean Hemisphere Project Superconducting Gravimeter Data **** Scheme of Read-me file for the OHP HP ***** Under the support of OHP project, an international gravity observation network is operating. This network consists of the six observation sites of Bandung in Indonesia, Canberra in Australia, Esashi and Matsushiro in Japan, Ny-Alesund in Norway and Syowa in Antarctica. At each site, the contentious gravity observation is carried out using a superconducting gravimeter (SG). In this web-page, mainly the data sampled at the 1-s interval are stored. Attached table gives some information on the station coordinates, namely, the type of SG, its scale factor, the sampling interval and others for each observation site. There is a possibility of revision of the scale factor of each SG due to newly calibration. The new calibration value will be announced on this web-page for users. The following institutes are responsible to operate the respective site; National Astronomical Observatory for Esashi, Canberra and Ny-Alesund, Kyoto University for Bandung, and National Institute for Polar Research for Syowa Station. More detailed information on the data at each site will be supplied on request to respective institutes. The names of contact persons are; Dr. Yoichi Fukuda (fukuda@kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp) of Kyoto University, Dr. Tadahiro Sato (tsato@miz.nao.ac.jp) of National Astronomical Observatory, and Prof. Kazuo Shibuya (shibuya@nipr.ac.jp). ***************************************************** Data format(except Matsushiro): The format of the data is (9X,F10.6,A1,F9.3,A1) in Fortran style (see sample below). From left side, time (UT or JST), gravity data (voltage), remark1, pressure data (hPa) and remark2 are given. Remarks "i" and "b" denote the interpolated data and no observations respectively.
