Coordinates on BCO

Horizontal coordinates

The BCO is located at 13°09'45.5" N, 059°25'43.5" W.

Vertical coordinates

Vertical coordinates on BCO are given in meters. The reference height is the surface level of the center of the site, at 17 m altitude above mean sea level (doi:10.1175/BAMS-D-14-00247.1).

Instrument base heights

The instrument base height describes where the internal reference point of the instrument is located with respect to the BCO (and consequently the mean sea level). It describes e.g. the location of the antenna of a radar, or the position of the sensor for ground measurements.
