Most of the organisational changes detailed in that message have now taken effect. We are now formally known as the NERC Satellite Laser Ranger Facility. This message gives the new locations for the web and FTP services that were previously provided by the RGO computers in Cambridge and contact details for personnel. All users of these services are urged to access the new addresses from today: the old site will be run in parallel for a short time and then discontinued. WEB SITE Web address: http://mtfiles.nerc-monkswood.ac.uk/nercslr/ ANONYMOUS FTP Node name: mtfiles.nerc-monkswood.ac.uk = 192.171.155.28 Directory: /nercslr Contents: 1) Daily Lageos analysis (web only) Quality checks on Lageos 1 and Lageos 2 SLR data from the EUROLAS Cluster may be accessed at this web site. 2) Subdirectory /current (web and FTP) holds the SLR-based IRVs for standard ranging satellites and the daily CODE-based IRVs for the IGEX-98 campaign GLONASS satellites. It also has standard timebias functions that are updated hourly at Herstmonceux. 3) Subdirectory /gps (web and FTP) is temporary storage for HERS GPS (Ashtech) data en route to IGS databases. 4) Subdirectory /press (web and FTP) has predictions for viewing naked-eye satellites from various places in the UK. We are in the process of expanding the contents of the site to give more details of our operational procedures and links to other useful SLR sites. EMAIL, POSTAL ADDRESSES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS Graham Appleby´s new details for Monks Wood are given below. We are hopeful that the IP address (and hence email addresses) at Herstmonceux will remain unchanged.
