Academy of Sciences in 1986, this station started to serve normal observation in 1996.
NGOW is kept watch all year. With the most advanced gravity, space geodetic surveying instruments, it is the most comprehensively equipped station at home. NGOW provides effective technical support and important raw data for studies on dynamic geodesy studies in china. NGOW is the fiducial station of the
Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC),the join organization of “921 project” Low-orbit Satellite Determination projection, one of three reference stations tested in China for Galieo cooperation projects-EGNOS .Also, it is a fiducial station of international solid tide, observation station of global Geodynamics cooperation projects of USA NASA organization、the west Pacific Ocean SLR Network、the space geodynamics for Asia the Pacific and the GGP project. The observation data are sheared
with relavant international institutions.
