.yym files see meteorological files (where yy = two digit
year data was collected).
.yyn files see navigation files (where yy = two digit year
data was collected).
.yyo files see observation files (where yy = two digit

almanac files an almanac file contains orbit
information, clock corrections, and atmospheric delay
parameters for all satellites tracked. It is transmitted to a
receiver from a satellite and is used by mission planning
software.

altitude
.
altitude vertical distance above the
ellipsoid
or
geoid
. It
is always stored as height above
ellipsoid
in the
GPS
receiver but can be displayed as height above
ellipsoid
(HAE) or height above
mean sea level
(
MSL
).
antenna phase center (APC) The point in an antenna
where the
GPS
signal from the satellites is received. The
height above ground of the APC must be measured
accurately to ensure accurate
GPS
readings. The APC
height can be calculated by adding the height to an
easily measured point, such as the base of the antenna
mount, to the known distance between this point and
the APC.
