CSRC Leveraged Support

SCEC support to SOPAC for SCIGN

These funds for data archive, analysis, and site maintenance will end in 2006, and most probably will not be renewed as SCEC II transitions to SCEC III.

UNAVCO/SCEC support to SOPAC for SCIGN to PBO transition

These funds for data archive and site maintenance will taper off in 2006-2007. Half of SCIGN sites to transition to PBO. Other half to be maintained by USGS, SOPAC, and Local Agencies.

NASA/JPL funding to SOPAC

This project is directly supporting real-time GPS infrastructure in southern California, has one more year of funding:

This project is supporting the development of next-generation SCIGN IT infrastructure, and is a direct benefit to CSRC (not included a similar amount to JPL, which also benefits CSRC):

San Diego County PBO Prototype

Five PBO sites in San Diego County will be upgraded to high-rate real-time streaming capability as a PBO prototype - first 2 sites to be upgraded over the next few weeks

Status: Southern California Upgrades

Real-time RTCM data are streamed by SOPAC in CSRC Epoch 2004.0 ITRF coordinates, and refer to the geodetic marker.

Other leveraged funds

This long-lived project also funded through the NOAA/JIMO program for SOPAC to compute near-real-time orbits in support of NOAA’s GPS Meteorology program for short-term weather forecasting:

Finally, SIO licenses the RTD software package from Geodetics Inc. on an annual basis (since 2003). This is of benefit to the CSRC community, by providing real-time access to data. The same licensing terms are available to SOPAC/CSRC collaborators in California. The only condition is free public access to real-time data.

Work Plan - FY05

FY’04-’05 Work Plan

FY ‘05 Appropriations & FY’05-’06 SOW

Nov. 21, 2004: Received news that FY ‘05 Height Mod funds to California cut by 50% to $500,000. Dec. 22, 2004: Received FY’05-’06 recommendations of Work Plan Committee (Don D’Onofrio, Chair, Fasha Eskandari, Marti Ikehara, Cecilia Whitaker, Larry Fenske). Included recommendations for projected CSRC budget surplus. January, 19, 2005: Significant SIO efforts to undo allocation fail, including discussions with various Congressional offices and Director of NOS (Richard Spinrad). NGS agrees to provide full $500,000 to CSRC (no 10% tax) and to consider additional projects up to $100,000. February 28, 2005: Final SOW and Budget prepared for NOAA ($500,000) and submitted to JIMO. SIO is trying to leverage the FY’05 shortfall to increase our FY’06 allocation to make up the shortfall, and set a precedent for future years. We are also making a new effort at the state level. Budget surplus still an outstanding issue

Working Group Recommendations

FY’05-’06 Research Objectives

What is the proper observation mix to maintain a modern height network, and how should these measurements be optimally combined? Observation types include continuous GPS (CGPS), field GPS surveys at passive monuments, spirit leveling, and gravity surveys. What is the proper mix of geoid models and local corrector surfaces, in converting from GPS-determined geodetic heights to orthometric heights? What interpolation methods will provide the optimal corrector surfaces? Can we apply and enhance modern IT methods to provide timely access to height modernization information? How does one develop and implement a precise GIS for the purposes of height modernization? How can real-time (RT) CGPS networks, such as those being created in California, be best used to directly support height modernization and spatial referencing?

inclusion in the NSRS.• Develop time-tagged geodetic coordinates and station velocities for stations included in the CSRC database and/or the

NSRS.• Provide assistance and support for the establishment of Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS) installations, also

known as Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), specific to Caltrans’ needs.• Provide assistance and support for the establishment of real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) networks specific to

Caltrans’ needs.• Assist in the development and implementation of project related survey standards, specifications, and procedures in such

areas as real-time GPS survey procedures and GPS determined elevations.• Assist in the development of procedures to establish and maintain basic vertical control networks in areas of uplift or

subsidence.• Assist in the development of transportation surveying applications, guidelines, and procedures for utilizing Continuous

Global Positioning System (CGPS) stations. If appropriate, provide training to Caltrans surveys staff on these guidelines

and/or procedures.• Assist in determining the effects of tectonic movement (secular and episodic) on stations in the CSRC database and/or

NSRS, including resurvey requirements, extent, and procedures to compensate for the effects.• Develop and conduct training sessions or workshops on the above topics (If applicable) and other geodetic survey-related

topics for Caltrans surveys staff.
