AuScope GNSS Network Tracker

The national dataset these stations feed

Geoscience Australia (1990–). Geodesy — Continuously Operating Reference Stations. https://doi.org/10.4225/25/552b5aad0c34a

That DOI covers GA’s whole CORS network; the AuScope-funded stations on this page are one network tenancy within it (AUSCOPE, ID 101). Its citation counts are therefore not claimed as AuScope citations here — the stations are AuScope’s contribution to a shared national instrument. · DataCite Commons ↗

How this page gets its numbers

Primary source — the operator’s own registry. Your browser queries metadata.gnss.ga.gov.au/api/corsSites directly (the API is CORS-open) and keeps the sites whose networkTenancies include network ID 101 — the AUSCOPE tenancy. Nothing on this page is curated by hand: coordinates, install dates, monument descriptions and DOMES numbers are GA’s records, rendered as returned.

Fallback — disclosed, never silent. If GA’s API cannot be reached, the page renders from the weekly snapshot committed by the AuScope Outreach GNSS backup (gnss_auscope.geojson), and the banner above turns amber and shows the snapshot’s own fetched date. A service being down is not evidence the stations aren’t there.

What AuScope funded vs what GA operates. These monuments were built or funded by AuScope (largely under the NCRIS AGOS program, 2009–2014) and operate as one tenancy inside GA’s national CORS network, which GA runs and publishes. That is why the dataset DOI above belongs to GA and is not counted as AuScope citations — the honest claim is infrastructure contributed, not dataset owned.

States. Derived from coordinates with simple bounding rules (the registry has no state field); stations very near a border could be assigned to the neighbour.

Coastline. Natural Earth 1:110m (public domain), simplified to two rings in australia-outline.json. Decoration only — dots are positioned purely by GA’s coordinates.
