Processing GPS data: GAMIT and GLOBK

GAMIT/GLOBK software is designed to run on any UNIX operating system, with any graphics produced via the public domain GMT software. (See http://www-gpsg.mit.edu/~simon/gtgk/). Bring a networkable (wireless or wired) laptop with a UNIX-flavor operating system or with access to your normal processing computer (via SSH). Download and install the software in advance of the class using the on-line tutorials and manuals to familiarize yourself with basic operations. Attendees are expected to be experienced beginning users. Contact Simon McClusky (simonchandler.mit.edu) if you need further assistance or configuration information.

Working with Strainmeter and Tiltmeter Data: A Short Course for New Users

The analysis software used in this class is Unix-based and command line oriented. Links to some of the processing and analysis software are available at:

http://igpphelp.ucsd.edu/~agnew/piasdmain.html

For this class, a server with sample data sets will be provided. You will need to access the server from your laptop during the class. Your laptop must have Xwindows and "ssh" capability. The software output is either text files, or graphic files such as postscript (PS, PDF, EPS) or binary Tektronix (Tek401x). You will need to be able to render this output to display graphically on your laptop computer. (You may also wish to install the processing and analysis software on your laptop and/or to your home institution - just remember that the software is Unix-based).

As a pre-requisite to the class you will need to ensure that you have a working Xwindows server to display VT100, xterm, and Tek401x output from the class-server computer. You also must have an up-to-date version of Secure Shell (SSH). Contact Myron McCallum (mccallumunavco.org) if you need further assistance or configuration information.
