GSAC File Searches and Results

The Search Files form lets you search for instrument data files using several parameters.
You can also select on sites which have the files you want.

Back on the main file results table, clicking on a name in the Site column brings up the normal page of information about this site from GSAC.

On the main file results table, clicking on Wget Script gives you a shell file "gascwget.sh" which has one or more lines, each line a wget command to download the files in the results table you are looking at. Such as
wget ftp://data-out.unavco.org/pub/rinex/qc/2012/274/palm2740.12S
wget ftp://data-out.unavco.org/pub/rinex/obs/2012/274/palm2740.12d.Z
wget ftp://data-out.unavco.org/pub/rinex/nav/2012/274/palm2740.12n.Z

Note this wget script file will download all the files in the output page, which for some searches is hundreds of files. One line from the wget script file will download one file.

On the main file results table, clicking on Download files gives you a file "files.jnlp" to download all the files using Java Webstart.
