... Getting to Armagh . ... STFC Courses in Solar System Plasmas have played an important part in the early training of solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric and ionospheric physicists since the 1980s. The Introductory course, as well as providing a grounding in the theory and the most recent observations relevant to their fields, allows new PhD students and other participants to interact scientifically with each other and with the lecturers, thus strengthening the field as a whole particularly in the UK....

... These clusters of calibrator observations are called geodetic segments or DELZN segments. Constructing a geodetic segment can be tedious given that one wants low elevation observations at all stations. ... It is also best to have sources that are high at some stations and low at others to give robust SecZ fits. ... There is an example among the SCHED examples called egdelzn.key that shows how to construct a file with automatic geodetic segment insertion. ... One is Mark Reid's original 60 sources. ...
