Statement

The raw GPS data were collected using Leica receivers and antennas that were continuously recording data between 2013 and 2017. They were then converted into rinex files and solutions derived with the software suite GAMIT/GLOBK using station HAWA as the reference station. Further details are provided in the ReadMe file associated with this upload.
