3 ACRONYMS US
4 WIKIPEDIA: Also known as geodetics, geodetic engineering or geodetics engineering a branch of applied mathematics [2] and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth (or any planet), including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
5 A SET OF CONSTANTS SPECIFYING THE COORDINATE SYSTEM USED FOR GEODETIC CONTROL, I.E., FOR CALCULATING COORDINATES OF POINTS ABOVE, ON OR BELOW THE EARTH. SPECIFIC GEODETIC DATUMS ARE USUALLY GIVEN DISTINCTIVE NAMES. (E.G., NORTH AMERICAN DATUM OF 1983, EUROPEAN DATUM 1950, NATIONAL GEODETIC VERTICAL DATUM OF 1929) REALIZED BY A SET OF PASSIVE MARKS OR ACTIVE STATIONS BASED ON SATELLITE ORBITAL POSITIONS
6 HORIZONTAL/GEOMETRIC DATUMS 8 CONSTANTS 3 SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE COORDINATE SYSTEM. 3 SPECIFY THE ORIENTATION OF THE COORDINATE SYSTEM. 2 SPECIFY THE DIMENSIONS OF THE REFERENCE ELLIPSOID

15 Geopotential Numbers allow for correction of leveling differences to account for different gravity surfaces (equipotential surfaces) along leveling routes. Level Surfaces LEVEL SURFACES AND ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHTS P W P Mean Sea Level P O Plumb Line Geoid W O Ocean Level Surface = Equipotential Gravity Surface (W) H (Orthometric Height) = Distance along plumb line (P O to P) Geopotential (C P ) = W P -W O

23 The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is that component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) - [ which contains all geodetic control contained in the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Data Base. This includes: A, B, First, Second and Third-Order horizontal and vertical control, Geoid models such as GEOID 12b, precise GPS orbits and Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), and the National Shoreline as observed by NGS as well as data submitted by other Federal, State, and local agencies, Academic Institutions and the private sector

30 Orbital planes of the Compass-Beidou (CNSS) constellation: The 27 MEO satellites will be deployed into 3 orbital planes with an inclination of 55.5º. The nominal orbital altitude is 21,500-24,100 km. Five GEO satellites at the equatorial longitudes of: 58.75ºE, 80ºE, 110.5ºE, 140ºE and 160ºE (regional system). Three IGSO (Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit) satellites.

36 CORS & PASSIVE MONUMENTATION
37 CORS COORDINATES APRIL 17, 2011 NGS ET AL. ADOPT IGS 2008 (2005) EPHEMERIDES. STATION VELOCITIES ARE IDENTICAL TO ITRF 2008, ALBEIT WITH MINOR COORDINATE DIFFERENCES. SEPTEMBER 16, 2012 NGS UPDATES NAD 83 TO THE 2011 REALIZATION RELATIVE TO THE FIXED NORTH AMERICAN PLATE FOR THE CONTERMINOUS U.S., ALASKA AND THE CARIBBEAN TERRITORIES. SWITCH FROM RELATIVE TO ABSOLUTE ANTENNA CALIBRATIONS. THESE ARE APPLIED TO THE SATELLITE ANTENNAS AS WELL AND ARE UPDATED PERIODICALLY.
38 CORS COORDINATES DUE TO THE FACT THAT CORS POSITIONS VARY OVER TIME WITH AT LEAST AN ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL VARIATION, VELOCITIES CANNOT BE RIGOROUSLY ESTIMATED UNTIL 2.5 YEARS OF DATA OR 130 WEEKLY SOLUTIONS ARE ANALYZED. FOR THE OTHER SITES, MOSTLY NEW(ER) SITES, NGS COMPUTES A POSITION, BUT ASSIGN A MODELED VELOCITY. THE VELOCITY IS MODELED AND OBTAINED USING THE HORIZONTAL TIME DEPENDENT POSITIONING (HTDP) SOFTWARE. THE CURRENT VELOCITY MODELS ADDRESS ONLY THE 2-DIMENSIONAL HORIZONTAL COMPONENTS AND A 0 (ZERO) VELOCITY IS ASSIGNED FOR THE VERTICAL COMPONENT.

53 ITRF2014, IGS14, AND NAD 83
54 ITRF2014 THE GOLD STANDARD FOR THE VERY HIGHEST ACCURACY GEODESY AND GEOPHYSICS SURVEYING IS THE INTERNATIONAL TERRESTRIAL REFERENCE FRAME (ITRF). THE ITRF IS PRODUCED BY THE INTERNATIONAL EARTH ROTATION AND REFERENCE SYSTEM SERVICE (IERS). MANY ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATE IN THIS EFFORT BY CONTRIBUTING RESULTS FROM VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDING GNSS. (SEE FOR MORE INFORMATION). IN 2016, THE IERS RELEASED AN UPDATED REALIZATION FOR THE ITRF CALLED THE ITRF2014.
55 DENSIFICATION THE ITRF2014 IS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES OF 158 MARKS PLUS SUPPORTING INFORMATION. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CAN TAKE THIS INFORMATION, ADD DATA FROM THEIR OWN MARKS, PERFORM THEIR OWN ADJUSTMENT AND ALIGN IT TO THE ITRF2014. THIS IS CALLED DENSIFYING THE REFERENCE FRAME. WHILE THESE DENSIFICATION VARIANTS ARE FORMALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ITRF2014, THEY ARE UNIQUE FROM THE ITRF2014 IN THE STRICTEST SENSE; THEREFORE, THEY ARE GIVEN UNIQUE NAMES.
56 IGS14 THE INTERNATIONAL GNSS SERVICE (IGS) PARTICIPATES IN THE IERS AND PRODUCES DENSIFIED, GNSS-ONLY REALIZATIONS OF THE ITRF. ITS CURRENT VERSION IS THE IGB08 ( B INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL IGS08 AND THE 08 INDICATES IT CORRESPONDS TO THE ITRF2008), BUT IS IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING THE IGS14 FOR RELEASE IN FEBRUARY 2017(?). THE IGS14 WILL INCLUDE COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES FOR 252 SITES, BUT SHOULD ALSO BE THOUGHT OF AS INCLUDING UPDATED GNSS EPHEMERIDES, ANTENNA MODELS AND OTHER SUPPORTING INFORMATION. AS RELEASE DATE NEARS, INFORMATION WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE BY THE IGS (SEE 12/08/2016
57 CORS NGS IS IN THE PROCESS OF DENSIFYING THE IGS14 TO INCLUDE THE CORS NETWORK. THIS PROCESS SHOULD BE COMPLETED EARLY NEXT YEAR (2017). CHANGING FROM THE IGB08 TO THE IGS14 IS MERELY A NECESSARY ANNOYANCE: NECESSARY IN THAT IT CLEARLY DELINEATES A SWITCH TO UPDATED MODELS, AND THE USE OF YEARS MORE DATA IN THE DEFINITION OF THE COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES OF THE INCLUDED SITES. AN ANNOYANCE IN THAT THE CHANGE IS NEGLIGIBLE FOR MOST APPLICATIONS.
58 OPUS SHORTLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF CORS IGS14 COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES, OPUS IS PLANNING TO OFFER THE OPTION OF RECEIVING RESULTS IN THE IGS08 OR IGS14. THIS OPTION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS GIVING YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE FOR THIS CHANGE AND PERFORM TESTS USING YOUR OWN DATA IF YOU DESIRE. YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT NGS DID SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR THE CHANGE TO THE IGS08.
59 NAD 83 (2011) AND PASSIVE MARKS NGS PROBABLY WILL NOT CHANGE THE NAD 83 (2011) COORDINATES FOR PASSIVE MARKS BECAUSE: THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IGB08 AND IGS14 ARE ESSENTIALLY NEGLIGIBLE, SO THE GLOBAL REFERENCE FRAME CHANGE DOES NOT JUSTIFY AN UPDATE TO THE NATIONAL DATUM. THE TIME AND EFFORT NEEDED CAN BE BETTER SPENT PREPARING FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE NAD 83 IN 2022
60 IGS14 VS IGB08 The differences between the IGS14 and IGb08 are essentially negligible. The comparison between the ITRF2014 and ITRF2008: a couple millimeters of change for the geocenter, effectively zero for the scale and rotations: T1 T2 T3 D R1 R2 R3 mm mm mm 10-9 mas mas mas Mark-by-mark comparisons reveal sub-centimeter changes for sites with long histories, but there are larger changes for sites considered to have short histories when their IGS08 coordinates were defined.

144 THE SHORTCOMING OF NAVD 88. WHY ISN T NAVD 88 GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE? 1. BIASED TO THE GLOBAL GEOID MODEL BY ABOUT 0.5 M 2. BENCH MARKS ARE ALMOST NEVER RE-CHECKED FOR MOVEMENT 3. DISAPPEAR BY THE THOUSANDS EVERY YEAR 4. WERE DETERMINED BY LEVELING FROM A SINGLE POINT, ALLOWING CROSS-COUNTRY ERROR BUILD UP (~ 1 METER) ARE NOT FUNDED FOR REPLACEMENT ARE NOT NECESSARILY IN CONVENIENT PLACES DON T EXIST IN MOST OF ALASKA WEREN T ADOPTED IN CANADA RE-LEVELING WOULD COST 200 MILLION TO 2 BILLION $$

147 BASED ON PURE GRAVIMETRIC GEOID, ACCURATE TO 1 CM VIA GRAV-D PROJECT VERTICAL DATUM BROUGHT TO SITE AT 2 CM IN WELL- MODELED AREAS. ACCURACY (ALLOWS 1 CM h ERROR) ACCESSABILITY: BROUGHT TO A PROJECT SITE VIA ACTIVE REFERENCE STATIONS (NATIONAL CORS) DENSIFIED TO PROJECT ACCURACY NEEDS AT SITE (E.G., DIGITAL LEVELING). NAVD 88 WILL BE ABOUT 1.2 GREATER IN VALUE THAN THE NEW VERTICAL DATUM IN PENNSYLVANIA

156 WHAT ABOUT THE PASSIVE MARKS? SECONDARY ACCESS (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK) USE PASSIVE MARKS THAT HAVE BEEN TIED TO THE NEW VERTICAL DATUM NGS WILL PROVIDE A DATA SHARING SERVICE FOR THESE POINTS, BUT THEIR ACCURACY (DUE TO EITHER THE QUALITY OF THE SURVEY OR THE AGE OF THE DATA) WILL NOT BE A RESPONSIBILITY OF NGS
157 WHAT ABOUT CONVERTING TO/FROM NAVD 88? A CONVERSION WILL BE PROVIDED BETWEEN NAVD 88 AND THE NEW DATUM ONLY WHERE RECENT GNSS ELLIPSOID HEIGHTS EXIST TO PROVIDE MODERN HEIGHTS IN THE NEW DATUM
158
159 GNSS TO ANY DATUM GNSS ECEF X,Y,Z (WGS 84 & PZ90) NAD 83 (,,h) SPC N,E,h NATRF2022 (,,h) + GEOID 12a = SPC N,E,H GEOID USGG 22 OR CALIBRATE TO 4-5 SITE POINTS IN THE DESIRED DATUM. THIS IS USED TO LOCK TO PASSIVE MONUMENTATION IN THE PROJECT AREA.
160 THOUGHTS. FOR VERTICAL DATUMS OTHER THAN NAVD 88 (AND SOON NAPGD2022) - RECOMMEND PERFORMING PROJECT SURVEY IN THE CURRENT DATUM AND THEN CALCULATING AN OFFSET BETWEEN THE DATUMS FOR ALL CONTROL POINTS. IF THERE ARE SUFFICIENT MARKS IN THE LEGACY DATUM, A BEST FIT LOCALIZATION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. NATIONAL BACKBONE CORS OWNED & MAINTAINED BY NGS WILL BE THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL TRUTH FOR OUR DATUMS AND THUS REQUIRE REMOTE ACCESS. A TIME DEPENDENT GEOID WILL MAINTAIN 1-CM ACCURACY IN WELL-MODELED AREAS AND THUS ENABLE 2-CM VERTICAL ACCURACY TO THE DATUM. KEEP ALL GNSS OBSERVATION DATA. IT CAN BE USED TO RECALCULATE POSITIONS IN ANY DATUM IN THE FUTURE. CONVERSIONS ARE NOTORIOUSLY INACCURATE. MAKE SURE YOUR PLATS, DRAWINGS, ETC. HAVE THE PROPER METADATA FOR FUTURE SURVEYORS TO USE IN THEIR WORK.
