GPS: vertical land motion
Vertical velocities of GPS stations as observational estimates of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) uplift rates. GPS is a records dataset (non-gridded data, see Records): its products, defined in GPS/records.toml, are prepared files in the form of the CF discrete sampling geometries, written to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/GPS/GPS-<product>.nc.

One value per station (featureType point, dimension station, with lat, lon and site_name): the rates are means over the GPS time series, without a time axis.

Making the dataset
julia fesmdata.jl record GPSprepares the missing sources (<Source>/prepare.jl), checks the prepared files and copies them to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/GPS/ (--overwrite to replace them).
