SLR Data Sets

The ftp archive of SLR data, products, and predictions on the CDDIS has the following structure. The values listed in red are substitution codes within the directories and filenames defined in Table 2 below. Many SLR data and product files archived at the CDDIS are stored in UNIX compress format and end in a .Z. Software to uncompress these files can be found at http://www.gzip.org.

This information on the SLR ftp structure at the CDDIS is divided into several tables:

  • Table 1: Overview of the ftp structure for SLR data, products, and predictions
  • Table 2: Detailed diagram of the directory structure for SLR data
  • Table 3: Detailed diagram of the directory structure for SLR prediction information
  • Table 4: Detailed diagram of the directory structure for SLR products
  • Table 5: Substitution codes for directories and filenames
  • Table 6: Examples
