5 CRTN Station May 2, :45 PM Started in 2003, 1 Hz RTCM 3.0 data are available from 420 stations from 2 CRTN servers (SC: 207 stations; NC: 213 stations) at SIO with a latency of ~ s. Data directly collected from SCIGN/PBO stations via UCSD s HPWREN, and from servers at UNAVCO/PBO, USGS Pasadena, UC Berkeley, Caltrans, Orange County, and Metropolitan Water District. NAD83(NSRS2007) coordinates transmitted, with station metadata in RTCM 3.0 format

6 CRTN Update Nearly 800 users Increased number of stations to 420 Incorporated 28 USGS/Pasadena stations Completed repairs and maintenance at 24 SCIGN/SOPAC stations, includes OCRTN (Topcon GNSS receivers) Determined location for new Gillespie Field station and rebuilding NSSS in SW corner of County (San Diego County Ray Mathe) Worked with USGS to diagnose Topcon firmware issues

12 Caltrans Task Order: New Epoch Date for California Work authorized by Mark Turner on March 16, 2016 Updated metadata for Caltrans real-time stations in SOPAC database (CVSRN, CCSRN), Bryan Banister and Eric Adney Included remaining CVSRN and CCSRN data into CRTN (collect RINEX data from all Caltrans stations and store in SOPAC archive) Added full set to Master List for processing Backfilled missing RINEX data from CVSRN Add new California stations in California (USGS, PBO, other) into the Master List for reprocessing Double check metadata and completeness of data for all stations on Master list Assign preliminary quality codes to stations Convert to ITRF2014/IGS14 through global repro Reprocess of entire California data set while continuing forward with regular SOPAC processing, in ITRF2014 reference frame

13 CSRC Epoch Date Finalized list of stations (885 active stations; 84 inactive stations) Converted to new ITRF2014/IGS14 global reference frame by reanalyzing ~400 global stations, from 1995 to transition to ITRF2014 in early 2017 Only GPS data input to the analysis Products: o List of coordinates at epoch (ITRF2014/IGS14, WGS84 geodetic, sigmas; NSRS geodetic and sigmas) o Final report, working with CRSC committee o Web posting, in progress

14 New CSRS Coordinate Epoch stations CRTN stations ITRF2008 to ITRF2014 Connect CSRS to NSRS: NAD83 (NSRS2007)? NSRS (2022)?

15 Continuous GPS stations for epoch date: ITRF2008 velocities 50 mm/yr

16 Significant Earthquakes in California

17 Detrended Displacement Time Series ( ) Coseismic & Postseismic Motions 0.16 ft 0.24 ft North DHLG GLRS CRRS East Up

18 Dynamic Datums Surveyors do not like changing reference frames and coordinates In California and other seismically active regions this is not possible. Therefore, CSRC publishes a new epoch date every few years ( , , , , ).

19 Dynamic Datums - II Reference frames need to be periodically updated to accommodate new types and number of observations and new stations. There are other phenomena other than tectonic motions that cause significant changes in coordinates (e.g., vertical land motion) requiring quality control to identify and possibly discard stations.

20 Example of Non-Tectonic Motions (Station BOMG near Salton Sea) 0.26 ft 0.11 ft 0.26 ft

21 Non-Tectonic Motions BOMG 0.26 ft 0.11 ft Waste treatment plant 0.26 ft

22 Dynamic Datums - III Creating a new epoch date for coordinates with an increase in number of stations modifies the reference system, realized through the epoch-date coordinates of the permanent GNSS stations. So does the change from, say, ITRF2008 to ITRF2014 You can think of the reference frame as a triangulated network in 2-D (or a polyhedron in 3-D) whose shape and size changes in time. The epoch-date coordinates are a snapshot at a particular epoch of time with respect to a global reference frame (ITRF2014/IGS14)

23 Dynamic Datums - IV The reference frame is defined by the positions of the permanent GNSS at a particular epoch of time (now CSRC Epoch ), and you can update CSRS station coordinates to any other epoch through, for example, SOPAC s SECTOR application. However, estimating the true-of-date coordinates of a new surveyed station with respect to the reference frame requires an additional step. There are at least two approaches: interpolation or crustal deformation model

24 SECTOR Utility Epoch-Date Coordinates

25 Interpolation Model Independent

26 Crustal Deformation Model Earthquake Cycle Elastic Rebound Theory

27 Crustal Deformation Model: Fault transects Tong et al., 2014

28 Crustal Deformation Model Coseismic Motion: 2010 Mw7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah Gonzalez et al., 2014

29 Dynamic Datums - V A GNSS survey (say RTK) is conducted at some date and positioned wrt the CSRS (say, in real time using CRTN). The surveyor receives the metadata for the reference station(s) and true-of-date ITRF coordinates as part of the RTCM3 message, consistent with the IGS frame and orbits, and estimates coordinates of surveyed marks with his/her usual field device. The true-of-date coordinates of the CRTN stations are derived using a SECTOR-type app. The surveyor can refer back to an earlier epoch date using an up-to-date HTDP-type model, which is consistent with the CSRS, since the model was derived from the CSRN coordinate time series. Whether at the survey date or an earlier date, the ITRF positions can then be converted to geodetic coordinates (say with respect to the NSRS) and then to map coordinates, if required. Is implementation and acceptance of a dynamic datum made any easier now that maps are digital, or after paper maps have been digitized?
