Subject: [IGSSTATION-760]: DARR and 1Hz data from ARGN

ADVISORY:

High rate data, 1Hz 15 minute files, from the ARGN suffered a software
problem due to the recently introduced UTC leap-second. Data from DOY 001 to
DOY 009 is 1s off in the timestamps reported n the RINEX files. This problem
only applies to the 1Hz 15minute files submitted from the ARGN. The software
problem has been fixed, and all files from DOY 010 is reporting the correct
time.

RINEX headers for DARR from DOY 009, was incorrectly reporting an antenna
height of 0.000. The headers have now been fixed to report the correct
antenna height of 0.0025, and the data from DOY 009 has been resubmitted with
the correct header information.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Regards
Mike
