GPS Data Products Description

Level 0: GPS Observables and Metadata

  • RINEX files organized by year and day-of-year
  • Metadata: information describing equipment at GPS sites, antenna heights, installation dates, etc.
  • Relevance: raw GPS observables and information describing them, used by scientists, surveyors and others for calculating geodetic coordinates and their time history


    Level 1: Coordinates, Time Series
  • Daily update of time series from each site, based on the SCIGN combination (level 1C). This combination is produced using GIPSY (JPL) and GAMIT (SOPAC), followed by a QOCA combination at JPL.
  • Relevance: forms the basis for all high-level products.


    Level 2: Velocities, Crustal Motion Model
  • Automated update of the crustal motion field of SCIGN from the combined SCIGN time series; interval to be determined.
  • Relevance: long-term, high-resolution monitoring of changes in Earth's surface.


    Level 3: Strain, Fault Slips, Aquifer Undulation, Co-seismic and Post-Seismic Deformations
  • Strain rates and fault slip rates are the most robust measurable physical parameters related to earthquake generation on inter-seismic time scales.
  • Aquifer undulation: rise and fall of the ground above aquifers. These will be provided for water resource management, with tectonic signal removed.
  • Earthquake fault parameters: fault slip rates will be derived from the SCIGN crustal motion maps, and will be provided on a long-term and event-driven basis. Independent near-real-time analysis systems will be implemented.
  • Co-seismic and rapid post-seismic displacements will be available within one hour of an earthquake event to emergency services offices, local authorities, and transportation and media outlets.
  • Strain differentials/rates, fault slip rates, aquifer undulation, co-seismic and post-seismic fault slip rates will be calculated using a spatial temporal filter in QOCA.
  • SCIGN strain analysis will integrate direct strain measurements from the SCIGN laser strainmeter and the USGS borehole strainmeters within SCIGN.
