Reference Guide to the GTS Sub-system of the Argos Processing System. Revision 1.6.

Abstract

A Reference Guide to the Argos GTS Processing Sub-system was prepared and issued at that time (DBCP Technical Document No. 2) to assist Principal Investigators (PIs) running Argos programmes and wishing their data to be distributed on the GTS; PIs and manufacturers intending to design Argos platforms and messages for GTS distribution; and GTS users who receive data from the Argos centres. This guide has recently been updated to reflect various changes that have been made in the last few years and to clarify certain issues. The guide should be read in conjunction with the Guide to Data Collection and Services Using Service Argos (DBCP Technical Document No. 3), which provides details of the structure of the sub-system, and provides background on the system's various applications.
